Task Response

The answer mentions the cultural aspects of the city and the role of rivers in daily life, but it doesn't directly address the question about the presence of big rivers. Focus on directly answering the question first, then elaborate on other aspects if time permits.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is largely incoherent and doesn't directly address the question about rivers. There's a significant tangent about food and cultural aspects. Work on staying focused on the question and organizing your thoughts more logically. Practice structuring your answers to directly respond to the prompt.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not precise. Phrases like "picture craze" and "strength sport" are unclear in this context. Focus on using more precise and relevant vocabulary to describe the city and its features. Consider using more descriptive language to paint a clearer picture for the listener.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains several errors. "I have my food" is incorrect. Sentence structure is often awkward and unclear. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures to express your ideas more effectively.
