Rater Comments
This speaker"s response is very clear and well organized. She presents several reasons to support her enjoyment of soccer: it reduces stress, it is good exercise, it encourages cooperation and teamwork. She uses good connecting phrases ("
not only can I lose weight and build self-confidence but I can also learn a sense of cooperation...
"), and she ends her response with a brief summary statement, which makes her point of view clear and memorable. This summary statement does contain some minor grammatical errors ("
This is the reasons why I like soccer
"), and she does have some noticeable pauses throughout her response. Overall, however, none of these errors make her response difficult to follow.
Mid-level Response: Listen to
Rater Comments
This response is mostly intelligible, but the first sentence is very difficult to understand. The speaker"s topic is clear, and she does explain why she enjoys football. (Note: this speaker uses the term football, while the previous speaker uses soccer. Either is acceptable.) Her reasons for enjoying football, however, are mostly related to teamwork, and so she actually repeats herself for most of the response ("
we have to play as a group, it"s enjoyable because everyone has to support the team. You have to try to play with the people and have contact with your teammates
"). She pauses often, clearly searching for the right words. She also has some noticeable grammatical errors ("
it"s a game that requires the playing in together
"), and she makes some consistent pronunciation errors (pronouncing "
very
" as "
berry
"), though she is still relatively easy to understand.
