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

Task Response

The response adequately addresses both parts of the question. Consider expanding on the types of activities people engage in during their free time, providing more diverse examples and perhaps mentioning other popular pastimes. More detailed descriptions of housing situations would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few minor issues with fluency, such as the slightly hesitant phrasing in the first sentence ("In my country most of the people usually staying..."). More sophisticated linking words and phrases could improve the flow. For example, instead of simply listing activities, you could use transitions like "In addition to..." or "Another popular pastime is..."

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Words like "staying" could be replaced with more natural-sounding alternatives like "live" or "reside." More descriptive language would enhance the response. For example, instead of simply stating "people play games," you could describe the popularity of these games or the contexts in which they are played.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors. For example, the sentence "People not in a position to afford more rent to staying in apartment" is grammatically incorrect. The tense is inconsistent at times. Using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice or more complex sentence structures, would improve the score.
