Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides relevant supporting details. By mentioning the dog and the routine of walking him after school, the response goes beyond a simple 'yes' and offers a natural, well-developed explanation. To maintain this level, continue to use personal anecdotes to expand on your answers.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is direct and relevant, which is good for Part 1. However, there is a slight lack of cohesion due to the run-on nature of the sentence. To improve, try using more varied linking words or breaking the thought into two distinct sentences to create a better flow. For example: 'Absolutely. Since I had a dog, I would walk him every afternoon after school, which made those trips to the park very special.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but quite basic ('really enjoyed', 'every afternoon', 'going to the park'). To reach a higher band, try to use more descriptive language or collocations related to childhood or pets. Instead of 'really enjoyed', you could say 'I cherished those moments' or 'I was fond of our daily excursions to the local park'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are significant grammatical errors regarding tense consistency. You started in the past tense ('I used to have') but switched to the present tense ('I work him', 'I'm going'). Since the question asks about your childhood, the entire response must be in the past tense. Additionally, 'work him' was a clear error for 'walked him'. Focus on mastering the past simple and 'used to' structures to ensure accuracy when discussing past habits.
