The introduction is too long: 22 seconds. Try to shorten it to 15-20 seconds.
and the content is not developed so well. read a sample:
In the lecture, the professor talks about entertainment merchandising which is a form of marketing in which the brand or image from one product is also used to sell another.
In the first example, the professor talks about a character called the Action Hero, when he was a kid, the TV show was very popular, so when he and his friends saw little Action Hero figures in the stores, they all had to buy them.
And he talks about his daughter in the second example, her favorite toy is a doll called Rosa, she and her friends play with the doll all the time. Not long ago, the kids discovered that there will be a new TV program which is about Rosa. She and her friends were very excited and all began watching the show.
Hi, sometimes I have the idea
Hi, sometimes I have the idea, but I don't know how to say it in English. Sometimes I know which word to use but I cannot make them into a complete sentence. Or I can make a sentence but with a lot of hesitations. When I see the sample answer, I find that the sentences are so smooth and easy to read. Most of them are basic sentences, not fancy. But all of them are very clear. Something I can do to develop sentence like it?
Yes, you can. You are doing
Yes, you can. You are doing greatly. We don't deliberately do something to make the speeches fancy. We only need to express whatever we heard in a right way like this sample. Compare your speech to this sample, we can figure out that sometimes your speech is wordy (specially in the introduction), or sometimes it is a little bit away the main topic, or it is not in the right order. They are not big issues, but you can do better.
Listen to this user who got 29 in speaking:
http://www.testbig.com/users/bigzee
he speaks in a normal speed, and he has hesitations too, but the best attribute for him is 'sticky'. No extra words.
And this sample is in a written language, not a spoken one. Look:
In the lecture, the professor talks about entertainment merchandising which is a form of marketing in which the brand or image from one product is also used to sell another.
So we don't need to speak like this sample exactly, we only need to speak better than other users.
