PEER ASSESSMENT 1 Date: 09/11/2023

My name is Ho Thi Phuong Thanh

My student code is 22702101 This is my assessment for the assigned speaking
performance No 1.

For the Introduction,

I think the speaker has a pretty good introduction. It is clear and easy to
understand. However, there are some grammatical and pronunciation errors in
her speech.

She said: ... if I have a chance to visit, it's come to the place that bursts up in my mind
...
Feedback: The words "it's come" do not make sense. "''s" is a contraction of "'" +
"is". The word "come" is a verb. Either remove the apostrophe + S or use a past
participle required by the passive voice.
Error type: Misplaced -s error
Suggestion: it comes

For the body,

■ There are enough four main ideas (as in 4 bullet points).

A. If I have a chance to visit, it's come to the place that bursts up in my mind at
instant in Italy
B. In terms of who I would love to go with, she must be my best friend at the
university.
C. If I go to Italy, I will visit the Vatican City.
D. There are several reasons why I love Italy.
■ Moreover, the speaker develops each main idea
A. If I have a chance to visit, it's come to the place that bursts up in my mind at
instant in Italy
* There is not any the supporting ideas for this idea

2. It is one of the seven Wonders of the world.
D. There are several reasons why I love Italy.
1. The first reason is the countryside landscape there.
 2. Another reason is food

■ Besides, the speaker links the ideas quite well.

For example: and, so, as, because, even, if, that, when, recently, like, too, first

■ Furthermore, the information that appears in the speaking is all relevant ideas

■ There are some grammatical mistakes.

She said: ... which I read and heard a lot in the Internet. If I go to Italy, I will
visit the ...
Feedback: The usual collocation for technology is "on," not "in." It is better to say this:
"on the Internet".
Error type: Collocation error
Suggestion: on the Internet

She said: ...amazing architectural wonders like none other and even it is one of
the seven Wonders...
Feedback: You need an article or a plural. Revise: "a none other" or "none others".
Error type: Article error
Suggestion: a none other, none others

■ The speaker used Field Related vocabulary correctly

■ There are a few pronunciation errors in her speech.

She should have more emphasis on stressed sounds and soften her voice on unstressed
sounds. The word "the" when placed before a vowel must be read as /ðiː/.

Word Correct pronunciation Speaker’s mistakes

recently /ˈriː.sənt.li/ /riː.'sent.li/
landscape /ˈlænd.skeɪp/ /ˈlænd.skep/
spaghetti /spəˈɡet̬ .i/ /'spaɡet̬ .i/
the university /ðiː ˌjuː.nəˈvɝː.sə.t̬ i/ /ðə ˌjuː.nəˈvɝː.sə.t̬ i/
extremely /ɪkˈstriːm.li/ /ɪkˈstrem.li/

■ The speaker used a lot of linking words.

But she used the word so between clauses and ideas in sentences. However, there is
still a lack of connection and coherence between the sentences.

- Coordinating Conjunctions : and, so

- Subordinating Conjunctions: as, because, even, if, that, when
- Transitions Indicating a Time Order: in the future, recently
- Transitions Indicating a Comparison: like, too
- Transitions Indicating a Sequence: first
- Transitions for Emphasis and Intensification: surely

For the conclusion,

■ The conclusion is clear enough to understand.
“So in the future, if I get a chance, I extremely want to go to visit Italy.”

The speaker repeats the idea of the introduction and does not introduce any other new
ideas. The conclusion is completely correct in terms of grammatical structure,
vocabulary and pronunciation

Overall,
Her speaking is engaging and captivating. She possesses a pleasant voice with
excellent pronunciation and a smooth intonation. Additionally, she effectively varies
her tone to create excitement for the listener. I noticed that she made an effort to
emphasize certain words, which added to the overall quality of her speaking. Her
delivery was also quite fluent.

However, while she stayed within the required time limit (1-2mins), the flow of
her talk felt disjointed. This was primarily due to a lack of connection
between her main ideas and supporting ideas. To improve the coherence of
her speech, she could have used more connecting words to smoothly develop
her ideas.

+ Fluency and Coherence: 8

+Lexical Resource: 8
+ Grammar Range and Accuracy: 8
+ Pronunciation: 8

Overall score: 8/10
