Well, firstly, I need to say that I changed my neighbor some months ago. Indeed, until three or four months ago, there were other people living next door to me. I don't see my current neighbor very often, firstly because they are almost always absent. I don't know where they are; I know they aren't at home. I only meet them in the park when I am there.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response is relevant and coherent, demonstrating good control of language. Consider expanding on the reasons for infrequent interaction with your previous neighbors for a more complete answer. Adding details about the nature of your interactions with your current neighbor in the park would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are some hesitations and repetitions ("always absent indeed are always"). A more concise and smoother delivery would enhance the score. Consider pausing briefly to structure your thoughts before speaking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "absent" are well-chosen. However, more precise language could elevate the response. For example, instead of "they aren't at home," you could say "they seem to be away frequently." Expanding vocabulary will improve precision and sophistication.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies ("I changed my neighbor," "did I meet them"). While the overall message is clear, focusing on correct tense usage and sentence structure is crucial. Review subject-verb agreement and sentence construction to improve accuracy.
