Well, from my point of view, the country that I'm currently living in makes it difficult for me to say that people like to travel by boat, because we don't have an ocean that big for that purpose. As for my people from my country traveling by boat in another country, I would probably say yes. For example, in Dubai, they very much enjoy traveling by boat to celebrate their birthdays or wedding days. My people are very keen on that.

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

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent. Consider broadening the response to include more general perspectives on boat travel within your home country, even if limited. You could mention specific types of boats used for transportation or leisure, or discuss the role of boats in your country's culture or history. Adding such details would enhance the response's completeness.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is well-structured and coherent. There is a slight hesitation at the beginning, but the overall flow is smooth. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the connection between ideas. For example, instead of 'As for', you could use 'Regarding' or 'Concerning'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'keen on' are well-chosen. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to elevate the response. For example, instead of 'big' to describe the ocean, you could use 'extensive' or 'substantial'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors. The sentence structure is varied and complex, demonstrating a good command of grammar. The use of tenses is consistent. A minor improvement would be to correct the phrase 'very much are travelling' to 'very much enjoy traveling'.
