No noticeable repetition! Great job!

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 directly addresses the question and provides relevant reasons for the current preference for other modes of transport. To improve the score, the final sentence could be clarified; the phrase 'I have trouble with bicycles' is somewhat vague and could be replaced with a more specific explanation, such as a lack of skill, physical difficulty, or safety concerns. Elaborating slightly more on why cars or motorbikes are perceived as safer would also help in developing a more comprehensive response.

Fluency & Coherence

You answered the question directly and provided reasons for your choice, which is good. However, the coherence is slightly weakened by the final sentence. The phrase 'So as a result' is redundant (using both 'so' and 'as a result' together is repetitive). To improve, use one or the other to create a smoother flow.

Lexical Resource

You used appropriate comparative adjectives like 'more convenient' and 'safer.' However, the phrase 'I very trouble with bicycle' is lexically incorrect. You should use expressions like 'I find cycling difficult' or 'I struggle with riding a bike.' Aim for more precise collocations to reach higher bands.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There is a significant grammatical error in the final clause: 'I very trouble with bicycle.' In English, 'trouble' is not used as a verb in this way, and 'very' cannot modify a noun/concept directly like that. A correct structure would be 'I have a lot of trouble with...' or 'It is very troublesome.' Additionally, ensure you use articles (e.g., 'a bicycle' instead of just 'bicycle').
