Pronunciation

6.5

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response is quite brief and could benefit from further elaboration. Consider providing specific examples of activities you prefer over sports to illustrate your point more effectively. Expanding on why you dislike sports would also strengthen your answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ("So", "actually"). A more natural flow could be achieved by removing unnecessary fillers and planning the response slightly better. The ending is abrupt and feels unfinished.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "fitness" and "content" are good choices, but more precise language could elevate the response. For example, instead of "other videos," specifying the type of videos would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies. For example, "I don't like to enjoy sports" is awkward. The sentence structure is sometimes clumsy. Improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure would significantly improve the score. Consider using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range.
