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

Task Response

This is a good start to answering the question. Consider expanding on the reasons for your preference. For example, you could elaborate on the specific aspects of the peaceful landscape, fresher air, and quiet atmosphere that you enjoy. Adding details and examples will strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. However, there is some slight hesitation and unnatural phrasing. Adding a conjunction like 'and' between 'fresher' and 'the quiet atmosphere' would improve fluency and coherence. Try to speak more smoothly and naturally.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "peaceful landscape" and "quiet atmosphere" are simple and safe choices. Consider using more descriptive and precise language to showcase a wider range of vocabulary. For example, instead of 'peaceful landscape,' you could say 'serene countryside' or 'tranquil scenery.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there's a minor error in the sentence structure. The phrase 'I refer living' should be 'I prefer living.' While the meaning is clear, this small error impacts the overall grammatical accuracy. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensure accuracy in basic sentence construction.
