I guess because, as I said, these days people aren't friendly. Even when I want to meet new people or socialize with my classmates, I find it difficult because I don't know how they will react to me introducing myself and asking if we can hang out together and spend time together. So, I decide not to talk to them, and it's easier, but it's not good for our community. We need to meet new people and socialize to share experiences and ideas, and this is difficult to achieve these days.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a reason why some people find socializing difficult. However, it focuses heavily on the speaker's personal experience, which is not ideal for this type of question. Consider broadening the scope to include more general reasons, rather than focusing solely on your own challenges. Try to explore a wider range of reasons why people might find socializing difficult or uncomfortable.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and self-correction, but it doesn't significantly impede understanding. Minor improvements in pacing and smoother transitions would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary choices could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'hang out,' consider using 'spend time together' or 'socialize' more consistently. The phrase 'it's not good for our community' could be replaced with something more specific and impactful.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence 'I will not expect how they will react' is grammatically incorrect. The use of 'talking' instead of 'talking to them' is also a minor error. More complex grammatical structures would improve the score. Consider using more varied sentence structures to enhance the overall grammatical range.
