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 relevant details regarding when and why the activity is performed. The response is well-developed, moving beyond a simple 'yes' to include personal motivations and frequency, which demonstrates a natural conversational flow.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is very fluent and flows naturally. You answered the question directly and extended it with relevant reasons. The use of 'especially' and 'whenever' provides good logical connection. To reach a Band 9, you could use more sophisticated discourse markers to connect your ideas even more seamlessly, though for Part 1, this is already very strong.

Lexical Resource

You used some good idiomatic expressions and collocations, such as 'pretty keen on' and 'unwind after a long day.' These are natural and appropriate for a high-level speaker. To improve, try to incorporate even more varied vocabulary related to walking or relaxation (e.g., 'stroll,' 'decompress,' or 'recharge my batteries') to demonstrate full flexibility.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is accurate, and you used a mix of simple and complex structures (e.g., the subordinate clause starting with 'whenever'). The error in the raw transcript ('As I do' instead of 'I do') was likely a slip of the tongue, but the refined version is grammatically sound. To hit a 9, aim for a wider variety of complex structures, such as conditional sentences (e.g., 'If I didn't walk, I'd feel much more stressed').
