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

Task Response

The answer is quite brief and lacks specific details to fully address the question. Consider expanding on the memories associated with your house and providing more descriptive information about the convenience of its location. Adding more details about the length of time you've lived there would also strengthen your response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow of ideas. The tense in the first sentence is inconsistent; it should be 'I have lived...'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the ideas more precisely. For example, instead of 'lots of memorable memories,' consider 'many cherished memories' or 'a wealth of fond memories'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, primarily the tense inconsistency in the first sentence. While the grammar is mostly correct, using a wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score. Consider using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a higher level of grammatical proficiency.
