Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear comparison between walking habits during school days and the present. Expanding on the reasons for walking in different scenarios could further enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there's a slight lack of clarity in the transition between discussing work and walking. Consider using more explicit connectors to link these ideas smoothly. For example, you could say, "Although I work more now, I also find myself walking more..."

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more varied. Instead of just saying 'go to parks,' try to use more descriptive phrases like 'explore nature trails' or 'stroll through gardens' to enhance your response. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there's a slight awkwardness in the phrasing. For example, 'Because in the past I was working only when I went to school' could be improved to 'Because in the past, I only walked when I went to school'. Pay attention to verb tense consistency.
