Try using synonyms for the above words

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 provides some detail. To improve, consider adding more specific information about the restaurant, such as the type of food, the atmosphere, or a particular dish you recommended. Expanding on why you recommended it to someone would also strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some minor hesitations. The use of 'and then' is a bit basic. Try to vary your cohesive devices for a more natural flow. For example, you could use 'moreover' or 'furthermore' to add information.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more varied. 'Pretty tasty' is a bit informal. Consider using more descriptive words like 'delicious' or 'flavorful'. Also, using 'book cafe restaurant' is a bit redundant. Just 'book cafe' would suffice if it serves food.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'when I been to restaurant'. It should be 'when I have been to the restaurant'. Pay attention to verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. Also, using 'the restaurant for 2 years' is a bit ambiguous. It would be better to say 'I have been going to the restaurant for 2 years'.

For instance, I find world history quite challenging since it involves memorizing a huge amount of information, including dates, historical figures, and complex events. At times […]
