Example · speaking, task 1
Here is what you get after a speaking task 1
On the platform, you sit task 1 with the AI examiner, who talks to you out loud, live. Then you get a report: what can be measured from your voice, what shows up in what you said, and what you judge yourself. Never a score.
Your attempt · Task 1
1 silence longer than 3 seconds (the longest: 4 seconds).
The point that will pay off most. One targeted drill, six reps, and it sticks.
The full checklist
- You spoke for 1:24. A self-introduction should last one to two minutes.
- Your longest pause before answering: 2.2 seconds. The course aims for under 5.
- 1 silence longer than 3 seconds (the longest: 4 seconds).Drill this point →
- To go further: you talked about your plans in the near future (“je vais…”), which is correct. Add a simple future too (“je m’installerai”) to show more range.vais m'installer · vais chercher · vont allerDrill this point →
- To go further: you used the passé composé (1) but not the imparfait. Add the background (“c’était”, “j’habitais”).j'ai étudié
- You used default words 5 times (“je pense que”, “parce que”, “parfois”, “mais”), without overdoing it.parce que · mais · parfois · je pense que
- To go further: use linking words to structure what you say (“tout d’abord”, “ensuite”, “néanmoins”).
- Tenses you used: passé composé (1), near future (2).
Reread the transcript and decide for yourself, as in the course.
- Each answer has all three steps: answer, explain in two sentences, then expand.
What this checklist can’t tell you: how your pronunciation and fluency come across. The transcript removes hesitations and sometimes corrects what you said.
The transcript
Automatic transcript: it can make mistakes, especially when something is hard to hear or in another language.
Your sentences to rework
the checker reads what you said; you choose what goes into your review
- What I said
je suis 32 ansWhat I should have saidj’ai 32 ans - What I said
ça permet moi de pratiquer mon françaisWhat I should have saidça me permet de pratiquer mon français
Here, the two mistakes the candidate kept for her review: “je suis 32 ans” and “ça permet moi”. They will come back in her daily review, to rewrite from memory.
How to read it
- The dots are not a score. One per judged line of the checklist: green, met; gold, to work on; dotted, yours to judge. What is neither reads as a step to take next.
- One thing to do. The next step is the first missed point that has a targeted drill. Here, a 4-second silence: the “Keep going after a mistake” drill works on it in six reps.
- The steps come from the course. The near future is correct; the simple future shows more range. It is not a mistake, it is what moves you up a level.
What the checklist does not do
It never gives a score: a machine score can disagree with the real examiner, and the day it says “fine” to someone who then fails, it has done harm. It does not judge your pronunciation or how fluent you sound: the transcript removes hesitations. And what a machine cannot judge, such as answering, explaining and extending each time, you decide yourself, by rereading the transcript.
The checklist lines are the success definitions of the speaking course and the criteria of the targeted drills. The method for each task is in the speaking guide.
