Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response adequately addresses all parts of the question. Consider expanding on the aspects you enjoy, providing more specific examples and details to enrich your answer. Elaborating on why it is or isn't a good place for young people to live would further enhance your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slightly hesitant phrasing ('I like old place because...'). Improving the flow by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'nostalgia' show a good range. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the city and its benefits for young people. For example, instead of 'travel fast, efficient and cheap,' consider 'the efficient and affordable public transport system'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors ('I am living there since my born'). More complex grammatical structures could be used to express ideas more precisely and naturally. For example, instead of 'I like old place because they give me feeling of nostalgia,' consider 'I am fond of the old parts of the city because they evoke a sense of nostalgia'.
