| |

|Bad answer: |

|I like movie Spiderman. I watched before today. Aigoo…… ….Spiderman.... exciting. Are you like Spiderman? |

|(Very little detail. No use of proper grammar, vocabulary, or expressions. Long pause means unprepared or lack of fluency.) |

| |

|Good Answer: |

|Well, I’ve just watched two movies recently: Zombie Planet and Spiderman. In my opinion, Spiderman was much better than Zombie Planet. The worst thing about|

|Zombie Planet was the martial arts scenes. If I were you, I would see Zombie Planet, sorry, I mean Spiderman. I’m planning on seeing it again this weekend. |

|Do you want to go together? |

| |
