Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is a good start, but it needs more development. While the topic is addressed, the answer lacks sufficient detail and specific examples to fully illustrate the change and its impact. Consider expanding on the details of the change in routine, providing specific examples of how the new routine was implemented, and elaborating on the ways it affected your life. Adding more specific examples and details will strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. There is a slight hesitation at the beginning, but the speaker quickly recovers and maintains a good pace. Adding more details about the process of changing routines and the specific benefits would enhance fluency and coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate, but could be more precise and varied. Words like "night owl" and "early bird" are good, but more descriptive language to illustrate the changes and their impact would improve the score. For example, instead of just saying 'changed me in many ways,' describe those ways specifically.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor issues. The sentence structure is simple but effective. Using more complex grammatical structures and varied sentence lengths would improve the score. For example, instead of 'I feel,' elaborate on the feeling with a more detailed sentence.

Yeah, nowadays it’s getting more common that children don’t go to the street or don’t go to somewhere with their friends and not playing the real games. Instead of that, they spend tons of hours in their home with a smartphone on their hands. I would say that it’s more negative trend than a positive. […]
