Yeah, I do have my hobbies. I used to dance before in school days and I used to participate in competitions and I also had several trophies from dance competitions but now when I changed to the university, then I stopped dancing like I don't know why there are no cultural festivals like we had to take part in so my hobby has quite disappeared.

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 answer is relevant and provides some elaboration, but it focuses more on past activities rather than current regular hobbies. To improve, clearly state a current hobby you do regularly and describe it briefly.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but contains noticeable repetition and self-correction. The speaker repeats 'I used to' and 'dance competition' unnecessarily. The flow is disrupted by the phrase 'like I don't know why' and the abrupt ending. To improve, use a clearer structure: state the hobby, describe past involvement, explain the change, and conclude. Avoid filler words and practice smoother transitions.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is basic and repetitive. Words like 'hobbies', 'dance', 'competition', 'trophies' are used multiple times. The phrase 'quite disappeared' is awkward. To improve, use synonyms (e.g., 'pastime', 'perform', 'events', 'awards') and more precise expressions (e.g., 'my interest has faded' instead of 'hobby is quite disappeared').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors: 'When I change to the school' should be 'when I changed to university'; 'I stop tanning' is a typo for 'I stopped dancing'; 'there is no any' should be 'there are no'; 'my hobby is quite disappeared' should be 'my hobby has quite disappeared'. The speaker uses only simple past and present tenses. To improve, use a wider range of tenses (e.g., present perfect, conditional) and ensure subject-verb agreement.
