AI review
Excellent work: you fully completed the task, said how many people are in your family and who they are, and wrote the text without mistakes.
- The task is fully done: you said there are five people in your family and named each of them.
- You use «meu» and «minha» correctly with the gender of each word: «meu pai», «minha mãe», «meu irmão», «minha irmã».
- Every accent mark is in place: «família», «mãe», «irmã», «irmão», «João», «é».
- The verbs agree with their subjects: «Ele tem», «Ela tem», «Eu tenho», «se chama».
- The text is well divided into paragraphs: the family, the parents, the sister and brother, a conclusion.
- Good length: 75 words, within the 60–120 range.
- There are no mistakes, so everything from here is optional: you could add one short sentence about each person’s character, for example «Ela é simpática» or «Ele é alto».
- Optional: write what your sister and brother do, following your own sentence «Ela tem 60 anos e é professora». Then check that «ela» and «ele» are followed by «é», not «sou».
- Optional: practise the conjunction «mas» in one sentence, for example «Meu irmão mora no Rio de Janeiro, mas eu moro em…». Reread it and check that «morar» has the right form for each person: «ele mora», «eu moro».
This is the grader’s stored review of this text from October 9, 2026 — it is not re-run for this page. Translated from the original Russian review; the score and every point are unchanged.
How the score is set
The grader reads the whole text and gives one overall score from 0 to 100, with no separate points per criterion. It looks at:
- Task completion
- whether the text covers everything the task asks, at the right length
- Grammar and spelling
- verb forms, agreement, prepositions, accent marks
- Vocabulary
- whether the words fit the topic and the level
- Cohesion
- order of ideas, paragraphs, linking words
- Register
- whether the style suits the genre and the reader
Score bands
- Reprovado< 55
- Suficiente55–69
- Bom70–84
- Muito Bom85+95
Why 95: every part of the task is done, there are no corrections, and the length is 75 words for a 60–120 range. The tips in the review are marked optional.
At A1 the tone is gentler, but the grader still marks every mistake and does not ask for complex structures.

Where these samples come from
All three tasks come unchanged from the catalog: the text «No café» from Texts, the recording “Sunday at the beach” from Listening, and the model answer to the task “Write about your family” from Writing. All of them are A1 and in Brazilian Portuguese. The model answer was written by our editors, not by a learner.
The audio is produced with Brazilian Portuguese speech synthesis. The review of the written answer is a stored result of the Mnezo AI review from October 9, 2026. It is learning feedback, not an official examiner’s decision.
What is free
The A0 and A1 courses and the A1 texts and recordings are free — you only need an account so your progress is saved. The AI writing review is part of Premium, which is open for the first 7 days after sign-up without a payment card.
