People often write online reviews because they want to share their thoughts and feelings about products or services. These reviews can be positive or negative, reflecting their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the experience. Positive reviews aim to encourage others to try the same service, while negative reviews aim to prevent others from making potentially bad decisions.

Task Response

The student provides a good explanation of why people write online reviews, mentioning both positive and negative motivations. However, the answer could be more concise and avoid repetition. For example, instead of saying "positive sides, the experience, generally their feelings, uh, are satisfied," the student could simply say "positive reviews reflect their satisfaction with the experience."

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant, with frequent use of fillers like "uh" and "um." The answer is organized logically, but the repetition and fillers detract from the overall fluency and coherence.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including words like "release their feelings," "satisfied," and "prevent wrong decisions." However, there are some instances of less precise language, such as "take same services" instead of "use the same service."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates a good understanding of grammatical structures, but there are some errors, such as "it's might be" instead of "it might be." The student also uses some awkward phrasing, such as "write about positive, uh, sides, the experience." Overall, the grammar is generally accurate, but could be improved with more careful attention to detail.
