I'd like to talk about the hobby of writing that I really want to pursue. I want to start it after I finish all my university projects. When I start to write, I want to read some books about it and develop the habit of writing every day. I think it's very beneficial because I can share my feelings or ideas in writing. I can record all the things I have experienced, and I can know about what happens or what I have learned and review something. Yes, many of my fans also have the hobby of writing, and they share it with me. It really helps me to calm down and I can take off my anxiety, so I want to start it with them.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic by describing the hobby (writing), giving reasons for wanting to start it, and mentioning what is needed (reading books, daily habit). It also explains benefits such as sharing feelings, recording experiences, and reducing anxiety. However, the response lacks specific details and personal experience, and the explanation of benefits is somewhat repetitive. To improve, provide concrete examples of what you would write about, how you would structure your writing routine, and elaborate on the personal significance of the hobby.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks clear organization. The response jumps between ideas without clear progression. There is noticeable repetition and self-correction (e.g., 'I can I can', 'my many many fans, many fans, my many fans'). To improve, structure your answer with clear paragraphs or signposting (e.g., 'First, I would like to...', 'Additionally, ...', 'Finally, ...'). Avoid repetition and practice speaking smoothly without self-corrections.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but limited. You use some good phrases like 'share my feelings or ideas' and 'record all the things I have experienced', but there is repetition and lack of precision. To improve, use a wider range of vocabulary related to hobbies and benefits (e.g., 'therapeutic', 'creative outlet', 'self-reflection', 'enhance my writing skills'). Avoid vague terms like 'things' and 'stuff'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate but with some errors and limited range. There are minor errors such as 'write the habit' (should be 'develop the habit') and 'take off my anxiety' (should be 'relieve my anxiety'). The sentence structures are simple and repetitive. To improve, use a variety of complex structures (e.g., conditional sentences, relative clauses) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct prepositions.
