Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a reason for gift-giving. However, it could be improved by elaborating on the types of gifts given and the cultural significance behind the practice. More specific examples would strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the phrasing could be improved for greater fluency. Instead of 'most people will indicate their token of gratitude for home people', a more natural phrasing would be 'many people show their token of gratitude to the hosts.' The repetition of 'most people' could also be avoided. The final sentence is slightly awkward; 'traditional practice' is a better choice than 'traditional movement action'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some words could be more precise. 'Token of gratitude' is good, but more sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the gesture. Consider using words like 'appreciation' or 'respect' instead of 'good sense of humanity'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. 'as a home' should be 'to someone's home' or 'to others' homes'. The sentence structure is sometimes a bit clumsy. More complex sentence structures and varied grammatical forms would improve the score.
