Personally, I prefer swimming in an outdoor pool because an indoor pool is just a place where you practice your swimming skills. When you go outdoors, you not only get to enjoy the weather, but you can also observe the surroundings with trees and people enjoying their time. Going to the beach is also a kind of outdoor swimming activity, and I absolutely love going to the beach. I especially love swimming outdoors because when it rains while I'm swimming, it feels very strange and cold at the same time.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear preference. The response is well-developed, offering multiple reasons for the preference, such as the ability to enjoy nature and the sensory experience of the weather. The inclusion of the beach as an example and the mention of the sensation of rain adds depth and a natural flow to the response. To maintain this level, continue to use varied vocabulary and cohesive devices to link different ideas.

Fluency & Coherence

You maintained a good flow and answered the question directly. You used cohesive devices like 'not only... but also' and 'because' effectively. However, to reach a higher band, try to avoid repetitive structures (e.g., repeating 'going to the beach' and 'swimming outdoors' in close proximity) and use more sophisticated discourse markers to link your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

Your vocabulary is appropriate and clear, but it is somewhat basic. You used words like 'surroundings' and 'observe,' which are good, but the rest of the response relies on common words like 'enjoy,' 'strange,' and 'cold.' To improve, try to use more descriptive adjectives or topic-specific collocations, such as 'scenic views,' 'refreshing atmosphere,' or 'tranquil environment.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Your grammar is generally accurate, and you successfully used a complex structure ('not only... but also'). There were no major errors that impeded communication. To move toward a Band 8 or 9, aim to incorporate a wider variety of complex structures, such as conditional sentences (e.g., 'If I were to choose...') or perfect tenses to add depth to your explanation.
