Giving Advice
Respond to the task above. Your recording remains on this device.
Private: your recording stays in this browser and is never uploaded. We don't score speaking — real pronunciation and fluency need a human (or the test's own machine), so use the sample to self-assess.
This is a reflection checklist, not a predicted official score.
Compare after recording
- Give two or three concrete pieces of advice, and attach a REASON to each ("…because…"). Advice without a reason sounds like a list; advice with a reason sounds like a person who has actually done it — that reasoning is what raters reward.
- Avoid: Giving only one piece of advice and then running out of things to say.
- Avoid: Sounding like a robotic list — no reasons, no warmth.
- Avoid: Being too formal; this is a friend, so a natural, encouraging tone scores higher.
Original model response:
Hey, congratulations on the move! Okay, my biggest piece of advice is to choose your neighbourhood based on your commute, not just the rent — a cheaper place across the city can cost you two hours a day, and that adds up fast. Second, before you sign anything, go and see the actual unit in the evening, because that's when you'll hear the real noise and find out whether parking is a nightmare. And honestly, be suspicious of any listing that seems too cheap; ask why. Get everything the landlord promises in writing, especially who pays for heat and water, since 'utilities included' can mean very different things. If you can, talk to someone who already lives in the building — they'll tell you what the landlord won't. You'll be fine, just don't rush it.
