Male Female

In my childhood, I used to play football with my cousins in our huge garden. Also, my mother registered me at the football center to encourage me and improve this hobby. Whereas nowadays, I don't really play football or sports; I spend most of my time just sitting or using digital devices, which has reduced my physical activity. So, I'm not into sports right now.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the comparison between childhood and the present. It provides relevant details regarding past activities (playing football, football center) and contrasts them effectively with current habits (sedentary lifestyle, digital device usage). To further improve, ensure that grammatical accuracy is maintained, specifically regarding the use of 'when I was a child' instead of 'when you wear a child' (though this was in the prompt) and ensuring consistent verb tenses. The elaboration is well-balanced and natural.

Fluency & Coherence

You answered the question directly and provided a clear contrast between the past and the present, which is essential for this type of question. However, there was some slight repetition of ideas. To reach a higher band, work on using more sophisticated cohesive devices. Instead of starting sentences with 'Also' or 'Whereas' (which can sometimes feel a bit disjointed in speech), try using transitions like 'In contrast to that,' or 'On the other hand, my lifestyle has changed significantly because...'

Lexical Resource

You used some good collocations and phrases such as 'registered me,' 'encourage me,' and 'not into sports.' To improve, try to avoid repetitive words like 'football' and 'sports.' Instead of saying 'it's reduced my physical activity,' you could use more advanced vocabulary like 'leading to a more sedentary lifestyle' or 'a significant decline in my fitness levels.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Your use of 'used to' for past habits was excellent and very appropriate for this question. However, there were some grammatical slips in the raw transcript, such as 'it's reduced my physical activity' (which should be 'it has reduced' or 'which has reduced') and 'sitting at this' (which was unclear). Ensure you maintain consistent tense usage when switching between the past and the present. Practice using relative clauses (e.g., '...digital devices, which has led to...') to create more complex and accurate sentence structures.

How do you usually communicate with your friends - by phone, text, or in person?

I usually communicate with my friends by phone. Since the majority of them are living in different countries, so I cannot meet them in person to talk to them. For the same reason, texting seems to be not the best way of communication because of the time difference and late replies. So, video calling them, […]

For me, I prefer spending my weekends outdoors because I’d have been spending the whole week indoors and without doing a lot of physical activities, I prefer to spend it outdoors. So I feel like healthier or I feel like getting some fresh breath outside. So yeah, I’d like to spend it outdoors.
