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 provides a clear answer to the question. The speaker elaborates on their favorite holiday with a specific example. To improve, ensure clarity in pronunciation and avoid any potential confusion regarding the holiday's name or origin. Focus on maintaining a consistent level of detail throughout the response.
