Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides clear reasons for the preference. Elaboration on the benefits of city living strengthens the answer. To further enhance the response, consider adding a contrasting point or a personal anecdote.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some minor hesitations. The use of 'As' to start the second sentence is a bit abrupt. Consider using transitions like 'This is because' or 'The reason is' to improve flow. The ideas are connected, but could be linked more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. 'Necessary amenities' and 'standard living' are good, but the phrase 'good pain jobs' is incorrect and should be 'good-paying jobs'. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to urban and rural living to enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors. 'I never ever resided' is slightly awkward; 'I have never resided' is better. 'Which are very much required' could be improved to 'that are required'. Overall, the grammatical range is decent, but accuracy could be improved with more careful construction of sentences.
