Yes, absolutely. When it comes to leisure time, I think it's not only about recreational activities but also about additional courses that can enhance our CV and career path. For example, I'm currently a front-end developer in IT, but I also learned some additional courses about front-end development because I want to earn a more significant salary in the future. So I think I can spend my leisure time on this activity to enhance my career.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, the response focuses heavily on career development within the context of leisure time, rather than exploring the broader importance of leisure for well-being and personal fulfillment. Consider expanding on the various ways leisure time contributes to a balanced lifestyle.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speaker expresses their ideas fluently with minimal hesitation. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to create smoother transitions between ideas. The phrasing 'on the horizon' is used twice and feels slightly repetitive.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and mostly accurate. Words like "recreational activities," "enhance our CV," and "significant salary" demonstrate a good range of vocabulary. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to elevate the response. For example, instead of 'additional course,' 'professional development courses' would be more precise. The phrase 'on the horizon' could be replaced with a more natural expression like 'in the future'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The speaker uses a range of grammatical structures effectively. The sentence 'I also learned some additional course about front-end because I want to earn more significant salary on the horizon' contains a couple of minor errors ('course' should be plural, and 'salary' should be preceded by 'a more'). These are minor errors, however, and do not significantly detract from the overall quality of the response.
