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 directly addresses both parts of the question, providing relevant details about housing and leisure activities. Consider expanding on the variety of housing options and leisure activities to demonstrate a wider range of knowledge and experience. Adding specific examples or details would further enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor issues with phrasing ('At times several people used to...') could be improved by using more natural sentence structures. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow between ideas.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The response uses a range of vocabulary related to housing and leisure activities. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to enhance the response. For example, instead of 'others are busy in travelling', consider 'others pursue activities such as travelling'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors ('used to' is used incorrectly in a few places, and articles are sometimes missing). Improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score. Focus on using correct articles and tenses consistently.
