I used to exercise in the past. When I was younger, I would train by lifting weights or playing basketball. But at the moment, I can't actually exercise anymore because I have some problems in my knees that prevent me from lifting weights or doing any heavy exercise.

Task Response

This is a good response that directly addresses the question. Consider expanding on the types of exercises you enjoyed and perhaps mentioning any future plans for exercise or alternative activities you're exploring.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There's a slight hesitation and run-on sentence in the first part ("I used to in the past when I was younger..."). Adding a short pause or breaking it into two sentences would improve fluency. The overall structure is clear and easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like "lifting weights" and "heavy exercise" are precise. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the knee problems (e.g., "degenerative joint disease", "arthritis"), but this isn't strictly necessary for a band 7.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate. There are a few minor issues with sentence structure and tense consistency (e.g., mixing past simple and past continuous). While understandable, refining the sentence structure would improve grammatical range and accuracy. For example, instead of "I have some problems in my knees that prevent me", consider "My knee problems prevent me".
