The vocabulary is adequate but could be more varied and precise. Using more descriptive words to explain the benefits of living in a city with a beach would enhance the answer. For example, instead of just 'fresh air,' you could describe the specific type of air or the feeling it evokes. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate. The sentence structure is relatively simple but correct. To improve, try incorporating more complex sentence structures and a wider range of grammatical forms. For example, you could use conditional sentences to express hypothetical situations or relative clauses to provide more information about the city.
