Okay, I wanted to discuss one of the most famous and richest persons in the world. He really created a big corporation with a lot of direction. I think everyone in the world has touched his world, his products. He’s from France and he created and bought a lot of luxury items, including jewelry, clothes, shoes, luggage, and alcohol.

His family manages each of the companies he has. At one point in my life, I really wanted to work with him, but I think it’s not possible now.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic but lacks the depth and specific detail required for a higher score. While the speaker identifies a person and the nature of their business, the response is somewhat vague. To improve, the speaker should explicitly name the individual to provide clarity. The response would benefit from more specific details regarding how the speaker knows of this person (e.g., through news, documentaries, or social media) and a more thorough explanation of the reasons for admiration. Expanding on the 'why' aspect by discussing specific qualities like leadership, innovation, or resilience would help in meeting the requirement to answer the topic at length and fully. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker demonstrates a willingness to speak at length, but the coherence is hindered by frequent hesitations and self-corrections. There is a lack of sophisticated cohesive devices; the response relies heavily on simple conjunctions like 'and'. To improve, you should use more varied linking words (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'In addition to this', 'Consequently') to connect your ideas more logically. Additionally, try to avoid repeating the same words and instead use pronouns or synonyms to maintain flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'things' and 'work with' multiple times). There were noticeable struggles to find specific words, such as 'analytics' and 'corporation' (mispronounced/misused as 'cooperation'). To reach a higher band, you need to use more precise collocations and topic-specific vocabulary. Instead of 'luxury things', use 'luxury goods' or 'high-end commodities'. Instead of 'big cooperation', use 'global conglomerate' or 'multinational corporation'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede meaning. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('every people' instead of 'every person' or 'all people'), tense consistency (switching between present and past), and noun plurals ('each of them company'). You are mostly using simple sentence structures. To improve, practice using complex structures such as relative clauses (e.g., 'He is a businessman who owns...') and conditional sentences (e.g., 'If I had the chance, I would work for him').
