Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses the question directly, but it lacks elaboration and depth. The response provides a reason related to living with parents, but the explanation is brief and somewhat vague ('maybe because they cannot'). To improve, consider expanding on why you personally might or might not like plants, or discuss any potential benefits or drawbacks of keeping plants, even if you don't currently have them. This would make the answer more natural and engaging.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks development. There is hesitation and repetition ('cannot cannot'), and the response ends abruptly without fully explaining the reason. To improve, expand on why your parents don't keep plants (e.g., lack of time, space, or interest) and use linking words like 'so' or 'therefore' to connect ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is basic and repetitive ('keep plants', 'cannot'). There is a minor error ('plans' instead of 'plants'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'maintain indoor plants', 'care for greenery', or 'my parents prefer not to have them due to...'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate but simple. There is a possessive error ('parents house' should be 'parents' house') and the sentence 'they don't keep plants maybe because they cannot' is awkward and incomplete. To improve, use a full range of structures, e.g., 'I don't keep plants because I live with my parents, and they are not keen on gardening, possibly due to their busy schedules.'
