Comments:
- Most of the answers are appropriate length, however there are still some short answers
that don’t answer the exact point of the question.
- Besides, the answers are hesitant and require a long pause to think to know what to say, so
the speaking speed is quite slow and less coherent.
- She uses very little and only uses simple, low-level cohesive devices and discourse
markers.
Lexical resources
1. Does the speaker
use a range of
vocabulary
(everyday
vocabulary /less
common
vocabulary /
- She incorporates
common words with
some basic expressions.
Ex: When discussing leisure
activities, she appropriately uses
terms like "surfing," "going to
the gym," and "sightseeing.";
talking about her hometown,
- She relies on
everyday terms, there
is limited usage of
less common
vocabulary.
5. colloquial
expressions)?
such as "beaches," "weather,"
and "sightseeing."
2. Does the speaker
use the vocabulary
appropriately
(word
form/collocation)?
- She usually uses some
basic phrases such as: do
homework, take care of,
take part in, take a photo,
etc; or word forms:
historical places,
panoramic views, free
time, pretty warm, pretty
nice guy
- She uses
inappropriate word
forms: homework/
housework, do/
complete (make) an
internship, make (do)
their beds, put them

3. Is the speaker able
to paraphrase?
- She explains quite
specifically the content of
the question
Ex: “ Do you think the way
people take photos?
Yes, I think people nowadays
have a photo camera so people
take more photos…”

sentences do not
have a clear
connection and
rarely paraphrase the
question, especially
in Part 3:
Ex: “What types of
voluntary work our most
popular in Portugal?
I think the most popular is
helping elderly people in the
centers of other people…”
Comments:
- In general, the speaker uses a practical range of vocabulary at the A2-B1 level.
However, there are some repeating words such as because, place, photo, people,
collect…
- All 3 parts of the speaker understands the topic and can explain the content of the
topic according to their own ideas.
- She should have a wide range of vocabulary.
6. Grammatical range and accuracy
1. Does the speaker
use simple
grammatical
forms with
control?
- She uses some single
grammatical form with
control well such as
simple tenses (I don’t
have much time..), past
continuous tenses (We
were talking with the
owner of the restaurant..),
simple past tense( I had
come back to home and I
only had a lot about
three, four hours per
day..)
- Have some modal verb
structures (..We couldn’t
buy the..)
- There are some
simple sentences
used that are a bit
complicated and
unnatural (Not just
like that I could
remember I don't
think so )
2. Does the speaker
use complex
structures? Are
they used
accurately?
- She uses some complex
sentences accurately
For examples:

and we went out to

mistakes (We were
planning to do a trip
around on decision..)

which bus we need to
take to come back, where
to apply for the visa.
Comments

context, but they sound unnatural
- Simple grammatical sentences were used accurately
- Complex sentences was limited to use, often making mistakes and causing lack of
coherence

be generally
understood?
- If the speaker is generally
understood, it means they
articulate their words
clearly and use proper
enunciation.

they correctly
produced?
- Individual sounds are

whole song is quite good.
Ex: part 2: “...even gave
us a lunch to take in the
bus while we weren't
doing the 20 hours all
again”
- Although she tries to
use natural
intonation, her
intonation is not
flexible
Ex: When she

9. Comments:
In the question of part 1 "Is that your hometown changed much in recent year?"
- She heard and understood the question but couldn't give a complete answer and just
said "I couldn't remember/I don't think so, Pretty much the same."
