Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

This is a good start to answering the question. Consider expanding on the reasons for your preference. For example, you could discuss specific features of a house that you find appealing (e.g., a garden, more space, privacy) and elaborate on why you dislike living in a flat. Providing more detail and examples will strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The slight repetition of "I definitely prefer a house" could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider adding a brief concluding sentence to leave a stronger final impression.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly precise. Words like "comfort" and "independence" are well-chosen. Consider using more sophisticated vocabulary to describe the benefits of a house, such as "privacy" or "spaciousness." The phrase "can't understand the noise" could be improved to "can't stand the noise" for better precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate. The sentence structure is simple but effective. Minor improvement could be made by replacing "I really can't understand the noise of other neighbors" with a more grammatically precise phrase, such as "I can't stand the noise from other neighbors." Using a wider range of grammatical structures would enhance the response.
