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

Task Response

The response is relevant to the question and provides a clear preference. Consider expanding on the reasons for preferring typing, perhaps by discussing speed, accuracy, or ease of editing. Adding specific examples would further strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. There is a slight hesitation and some minor repetition ('because of this'), but overall the flow is natural. Improving the smoothness of transitions between ideas would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. Words like 'honestly' and 'usually' show some range. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the preference more effectively. For example, instead of 'more easy', consider 'more efficient' or 'more convenient'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor errors. The phrase 'write sometimes by my hand' is slightly awkward; 'write by hand' or 'handwrite' would be more natural. The sentence 'due to change technology' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'due to changing technology' or 'because of technological advancements'. While the errors are minor, using more complex grammatical structures would improve the score.
