Sometimes in my free time, I like playing computer games, and sometimes I enjoy reading books like Atomic Habits or The Mountain Is You. These books are so good. I know that playing computer games is harmful for my eyes, and I don't want to play them as much as I said before. But it's already become my habit, and I don't know; I've never given it up. I want to break this bad habit, but I haven't tried. I think I should try, and I believe it would be beneficial for my future.

Task Response

5.5

The answer is quite short and could benefit from more detailed descriptions of the activities and their impact on the speaker's life. Elaborating on the reasons behind wanting to quit gaming and exploring potential alternative activities would strengthen the response. More specific examples and anecdotes would enhance the overall quality. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are some hesitations and repetitions ("and sometimes I like", "so harmful for my eyes and also our eyes"). Smoother transitions between ideas would enhance the fluency. Consider pausing briefly to structure your thoughts before speaking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of phrases like "Atomic Habits" and "The Mountain Is You" demonstrates a good range. However, more precise language could be used in places. For example, instead of "so harmful," consider using a more specific term like "detrimental" or "damaging." Also, "give up it" should be "give it up".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are a few errors. For example, "I've never give up it" should be "I've never given it up." The sentence structure is sometimes a bit simple. Using more complex sentence structures and varied grammatical forms would improve the score. Consider using more subordinate clauses to show relationships between ideas.
