In my opinion, young people are less fit. There are many factors. I believe that the primary causes of this problem are unhealthy eating choices and an inactive lifestyle. Today, most people prefer to eat either instant food or fast food, so staying in shape has become a serious struggle for them. Previously, fast food was not so popular. Today, in every city, you can find 30 or 40, maybe even more, places that prepare it. Thank you.

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 reasons for the stated opinion. To improve, consider expanding on the points made and providing more detailed explanations or examples. Also, try to avoid ending the response so abruptly.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow. The ideas are presented logically. However, there are some minor hesitations and a slight lack of smoothness in delivery. To improve, practice speaking more fluently on similar topics and focus on connecting your ideas more seamlessly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and relevant to the topic. The candidate uses words like 'instant foodstuffs,' 'fast foods,' and 'inactive lifestyle.' However, the range could be broader and more precise. Try to incorporate more varied and sophisticated vocabulary related to health and lifestyle.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors. For example, 'in active lifestyle and our eating' should be 'an inactive lifestyle.' Also, 'so that they in shape has become' should be 'so staying in shape has become.' While these errors don't significantly impede understanding, improving grammatical accuracy will enhance the overall quality of the response. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately.

How does the perception of success differ between older and younger generations in your country?

In my country, it’s very different perception of success between elder and younger generations. In my country, people need to achieve success when they were younger. The theory is basic.
