Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is relevant and coherent. Consider expanding on why you were interested in construction and what aspects appealed to you. Adding details about your parents and the house would make the response more engaging.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The pacing is good. Minor improvements could be made by adding a brief concluding sentence to create a more natural ending. For example, you could add something like, "That was my childhood dream."

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly accurate. The phrasing "erect a new house" is slightly less natural than "build a new house." Using more sophisticated vocabulary related to construction would enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is accurate and the sentences are well-constructed. The use of simple past tense is consistent and appropriate. While the grammar is largely correct, incorporating more complex sentence structures would improve the score.
