I'm a shopaholic. When I was little, I often went to the market with my family about three times a week to buy groceries or other items. Until now, I go to the market even more. Shopping is also a great way for me to relax and refresh, especially during exam periods or when I'm sad.

Try using synonyms for the above words

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 is quite good and covers both parts of the question. However, it could benefit from more detail about specific items purchased and a more developed explanation of how shopping helps with relaxation and stress relief. Consider adding examples to illustrate your points.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor issues with phrasing ('three times away') and a slight stumble in the beginning ('I'm a sopo-holic') could be improved with more precise language and smoother delivery. Focus on clearer articulation and a more natural flow of speech.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of 'shopaholic' is good, but the answer could benefit from more precise and varied vocabulary. Consider using synonyms for 'market' and 'stuff' to demonstrate a wider range of lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors ('three times away' instead of 'three times a week'). While the answer demonstrates some grammatical range, improving accuracy and using more complex sentence structures would enhance the score. Pay attention to prepositions and time expressions.
