A particular change that I have made in my lifestyle is practicing sports. In fact, last month I started to run, and I wanted to run in a marathon. I really want to enjoy this sport because my mother started this with me. I decided to practice this sport because I'm a lazy person, and I had to lose some kilograms from my body weight. I would like to do it in a different sport, but I started with running. In the future, I really want to practice calisthenics, which is a sport based on body weight. I think that this approach can help me build more muscle and be happier with my body.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and attempts to cover all the bullet points. However, the development of each point could be more detailed and specific. Consider elaborating on the reasons behind your decisions and the specific effects of the change on your life. Adding more personal experiences would also enhance the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a few instances of repetition ('I really want to'). The structure follows the prompt, but could be more clearly organized with better signposting. To improve, focus on speaking more smoothly and using linking phrases to connect ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. There are some basic word choices ('lazy person,' 'different sport'). To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to sports, health, and personal changes. For example, instead of 'lazy person,' you could say 'sedentary individual.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors that affect clarity ('practice sport,' 'started to run,' 'be more happiness'). There's a limited range of sentence structures. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and paying attention to verb tenses and word order. Review common grammatical errors and practice using more complex sentences.
