Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response is relevant to the question and provides some details about the candidate's reading habits. However, it could be improved by elaborating on the types of books or materials they read and the reasons behind the change in their reading habits. More specific examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the structure could be improved. The phrasing 'when I have a free time' is slightly unnatural; it should be 'when I have free time.' The ideas are presented in a somewhat disjointed manner. A more coherent structure would improve the fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but lacks precision. Words like 'often' and 'more' are used somewhat vaguely. More specific vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'I often read,' you could say 'I read regularly,' or 'I read frequently,' depending on the actual frequency. The use of 'used to' in the refined answer is a good improvement.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors, such as 'a free time' instead of 'free time.' The tense usage is inconsistent. While the meaning is clear, more accurate and varied grammatical structures would improve the score. The refined answer shows how to correct these issues.
