Try using synonyms for the above words

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 addresses the question directly and provides a clear comparison between past and present reading habits. To enhance the answer, consider elaborating on why your preferences have changed or providing specific examples of books you enjoy now.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there's a slight pause before 'In the past'. To improve, try to link your ideas more smoothly and avoid unnecessary pauses. The structure is clear, but the flow could be enhanced with better transitions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. 'Dream things' is a bit vague; consider using more descriptive terms like 'fantasy' or 'escapist literature'. 'Human physicality' is also a slightly unusual phrase; perhaps 'psychology' or 'human behavior' would be more appropriate depending on the context. Expand your vocabulary to express ideas more accurately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are a few grammatical errors. 'There haven't a quite a big difference' should be 'There hasn't been quite a big difference' or 'There isn't a big difference'. Also, 'true story that give me some experience' should be 'true stories that give me some experience'. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct use of articles. Practice using a variety of sentence structures to improve your grammatical range.
