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.

The response is a good start, but it needs further development to fully address all parts of the question. More detail is needed on how the hobby started, how often it's done, and especially why it is enjoyed. Adding specific examples and anecdotes will strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

5.5

Lexical Resource

5.5

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Instead of 'a lot of memorable experiences,' try a more specific description. Using more descriptive language to describe the cooking process and the types of food would enhance the answer.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4.5

There are some grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and tense consistency. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and use a wider range of grammatical structures. Practice using more complex sentences to demonstrate a better command of grammar.
