The answer is relevant to the question and provides a sufficient amount of information. Consider expanding on the answer by providing more details about the experience of playing basketball and the reasons for not playing anymore.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. The transitions between ideas are smooth. Consider using discourse markers like 'actually' or 'unfortunately' to add subtle nuances and enhance fluency further.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and appropriate for the topic. While 'enroll in competitions' is understandable, explore synonyms like 'participate in,' 'compete in,' or 'take part in' to diversify your vocabulary and potentially express the nuance of the situation more accurately. Also, instead of 'one of them one time,' consider 'one of them once' or even 'we actually won once.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical structures are generally accurate. There are minor errors like the omission of the preposition 'on' ('in the school's team' should be 'on the school's team'). While the repeated use of 'used to' is grammatically correct, try varying sentence structure for better flow. For example, 'During high school, I played basketball on the school team...' Also, 'I don't have time for sport' should be 'sports' in this context.
