Polished transcript:

Male Female

Well, when I was a child, I had a lot of time to spend playing with my friends or my family, especially my brothers. It wasn't anything special, to be honest. I think it has changed a lot over the past 2 or 3 years since I got really busy. Now, I mostly watch short movies on Facebook or TikTok. It's not anything too significant. I don't talk with my family that often, maybe 3 times a week, or 300 times a year.

Pronunciation

5.5

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some information about the changes in leisure activities. However, it could be improved by providing more details and elaborating on the reasons for the changes. More specific examples of leisure activities would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some noticeable hesitations and repetitions ("It's not anything special"). The structure could be improved by using clearer transitions between ideas. The final sentence about talking to family is confusing and needs rephrasing.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. More precise language could be used to describe leisure activities. The phrase "not anything too significant" is somewhat vague and could be replaced with a more descriptive phrase.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect tense usage ("would have a lot of time like spending"), and unclear phrasing ("I really talk with my family that often in 3 times, 300 times"). More attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence structure is needed.
