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 addresses the question directly and provides relevant reasons why role models are beneficial, such as developing problem-solving skills and fostering independence. To improve the score and reach a higher band, the response could be further developed by expanding on the 'why' or 'how' - for example, by explaining how observing a role model's behavior translates into a child's own character development. Additionally, while the answer avoids personal anecdotes, it could benefit from a more formal structure to move away from conversational fillers like 'Well, you know' and instead use more sophisticated cohesive devices to link the ideas of experience, problem-solving, and autonomy.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is relatively short and lacks the depth expected in Part 3. While you attempt to connect ideas, the progression is somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'Consequently,' or 'As a result') and expand on your points by providing a specific example of a role model (like a parent or a teacher) to illustrate your argument.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and contains several errors that obscure meaning. For example, 'fast side' and 'estimate with the problem' are incorrect uses of English. You likely meant 'insight' and 'assess/evaluate problems.' Aim to use more precise collocations and academic vocabulary such as 'emulate,' 'guidance,' 'problem-solving skills,' or 'character development.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the quality of the response. Specifically, 'look up for' should be 'look up to,' 'it has to be advantage' should be 'it is advantageous,' and 'instead of depend' should be 'instead of depending.' You should practice using gerunds after prepositions and ensure your adjective/noun usage is correct.
