To be honest, it will depend on their personal preferences. However, mostly individuals aren't able to focus on it due to their lifestyles. For instance, there are individuals who are quite overloaded with their full-time jobs. They don't have the opportunity to engage in cooking on a daily basis. As a result, they tend to purchase fast food instead of homemade food. Furthermore, there are people who believe that this activity is quite challenging. Therefore, they are unwilling to cook a particular dish. However, they are unaware of tutorial videos that would encourage them to gather recipes and ingredients.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant reasons for the trend of people being unwilling to cook. The answer includes explanations related to busy lifestyles and perceived difficulty. To improve, consider expanding on the points with more specific examples or exploring additional factors contributing to this trend.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and well-organized, using cohesive devices like 'for instance' and 'furthermore.' However, there are some slight hesitations and a few instances where the phrasing could be more natural. To improve, focus on practicing speaking more smoothly and varying sentence structures.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. The candidate uses words like 'overloaded,' 'engage,' and 'tutorial recordings.' To enhance lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and less common vocabulary related to cooking and lifestyle choices. For example, instead of 'challenging,' you could use 'daunting' or 'laborious.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. For example, 'They don't have any opportunity' could be improved to 'They don't have the opportunity.' The range of structures is good, including complex sentences. To achieve a higher score, focus on consistently using accurate and varied grammatical structures.
