Include details about the people, setting, and activities. ``` {% endcode %} *Steps to recreate:* **Display image on UI, use SpeechAce API and Evaluate**: Follow this [task achievement guide](/api-reference/score-task-task-achievement.md) to recreate this question type. You can use the following score fields to measure components listed in the TOEIC score guide: 1. Overall task score: `task_score` is the overall score used to evaluate how well the given task was achieved. It ranges from 0 to 5. 2. Coherence: `.speech_score.speechace_score.coherence` 3. Pronunciation: `.speech_score.speechace_score.pronunciation` 4. Fluency : `.speech_score.speechace_score.fluency` ### Read a Text Aloud *Objective*: To assess pronunciation, intonation, and overall fluency in reading English text. {% code title="Example Question" overflow="wrap" %} ``` Read the following notice aloud: "Due to maintenance, the elevator will be out of service until Friday." ``` {% endcode %} *Steps to recreate:* 1. **Display Passage on UI**: Provide a passage for the test-taker to read on your app's interface. 2. **Enable Recording**: Allow the test-taker to record their response, with an option for preparation time if needed. 3. **Use SpeechAce APIs**: Use the [Score Text/Fluency](/api-reference/score-text-fluency.md) and the [intonation](/features/scripted-activities/lexical-stress-and-intonation.md) APIs to get the pronunciation, fluency and intonation feedback metrics of the test-taker's response. 4. **Evaluate and Report**: Assess the test-taker's response and present a detailed report based on the feedback metrics of your choice. You can use the following score fields to measure components listed in the TOEIC score guide: 1. Intonation: `.text_score.word_intonation_list` can be used to create intonation staircase and compare expected v/s actual intonations. 2. Pronunciation: `.text_score.speechace_score.pronunciation` 3. Fluency : `.text_score.speechace_score.fluency` ## Open-ended Questions ### Respond to Questions *Objective*: To assess the ability to answer questions based on personal experiences or general knowledge. {% code title="Example Questions" overflow="wrap" %} ``` What do you like to do in your free time?
