Task Response

The student provides two reasons for wearing expensive watches: showing wealth and collecting them. However, the explanation is somewhat vague and lacks specific examples or details. The student could have elaborated on how expensive watches demonstrate wealth or provided examples of famous watch collectors.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant, with noticeable pauses and repetitions. The flow of ideas is not entirely smooth, and the structure of the answer could be improved. For example, the phrase "they do. They help it" is unclear and disrupts the coherence.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a range of vocabulary, but some choices are not precise. For example, "help it" is not a clear expression. The student could have used more specific vocabulary related to watch collecting or the symbolism of expensive watches.

The student demonstrates a good grasp of grammar, but there are some minor errors. For example, "it can show the wealth" should be "it can show their wealth." The student also uses the phrase "they do. They help it" which is grammatically incorrect and confusing.
