Honestly speaking, when I was a child, I was keen on TV programs. I used to watch animated movies and cartoons as well. However, nowadays I have to focus on my studies, so I rarely watch TV programs. But sometimes, when I feel bored, I prefer to watch reality shows, comedy movies, and sometimes the news.

Task Response

This is a well-structured and detailed response that directly addresses the question. Consider adding a concluding sentence to summarize your current TV viewing habits for a more polished finish.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There's a slight stumble in the middle ('so I really watch TV programs'), which could be improved with a more natural phrasing like 'so I rarely watch TV' or 'so I don't watch TV much'. The structure is clear, moving logically from past habits to present ones.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'keen on' and 'reality shows' demonstrate a good range. However, 'extra' is slightly misused; 'as well' would be more appropriate. More precise language could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'sometimes news,' specifying a news program or type of news would be more impactful.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence 'I really watch TV programs' is grammatically incorrect and needs rephrasing. The use of commas could be improved for better flow and clarity. While the range of grammatical structures is present, more complex sentence structures would enhance the score.
