No, I haven't, actually. I'm not keen on planting, collecting, or even growing plants because it's not my hobby, and maybe I don't have the time to do that. So I can send flowers to anyone. But I can deliver them from my mother to her friends or to her clients because my mother is in the flower business.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question, but it lacks detail and clarity. The connection between not having a hobby of planting and not sending flowers is weak. Elaborate on why you haven't sent flowers, perhaps mentioning specific situations or reasons. The ending is abrupt and unclear. Try to provide a more concise and coherent explanation.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat hesitant and disjointed. There are noticeable fillers ('uh', 'um', 'and') and self-corrections ('I'm not have'). The ideas are not smoothly connected. Work on improving the flow of your speech and reducing hesitations. Practice speaking more naturally and confidently.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The phrase 'I'm not keen on' is well-used, but the overall range of vocabulary could be expanded. Try to use more precise and descriptive language. For example, instead of 'in the flower business,' you could say 'a florist,' 'works in a flower shop,' or 'owns a flower shop,' depending on the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'I'm not have' and the slightly awkward phrasing in the final sentence. While the basic sentence structures are correct, more complex grammatical structures could be used to enhance the response. Focus on improving accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures.
