Polished transcript:

Male Female

Back 10 years ago, I had more time and spent all of it with my family. However, since I moved to a new place and started working, I have a lot to do, so unfortunately, I don't have enough time to spend with my family. But it doesn't matter how hectic my schedule is; the weekend always belongs to family, and I always spend my weekends with them.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response directly addresses the question and provides a clear and well-structured answer. The use of contrasting time periods (past vs. present) effectively illustrates the changes in the amount of time spent with family. The concluding statement reinforces the commitment to family time on weekends, demonstrating a balanced perspective.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some minor hesitations and reformulations. The structure is clear, with a contrast between past and present. To improve, focus on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary repetition. For example, instead of saying 'weekend is always belonging to family and I always spend my weekend with my family,' you could say 'weekends are always dedicated to my family.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. The phrase 'hectic schedule' is well-used. To enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating more varied and precise vocabulary related to time management and family activities. For instance, instead of 'have a lot to do,' you could use 'have numerous commitments' or 'face a demanding workload.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'Back in 10 years ago that I had more time' and 'how hectic schedule do I have.' These errors impact the clarity of the response. Focus on using correct verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and word order. For example, 'Back 10 years ago, when I had more time...' and 'no matter how hectic my schedule is...'
