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

Task Response

The response is satisfactory, but it could benefit from more detailed elaboration on the time spent on each hobby. Quantifying the time spent (e.g., 'I spend about an hour reading most nights') would significantly improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the phrasing is slightly unnatural. The connection between reading and playing football isn't clearly expressed. Improving the flow and adding a quantifier to the time spent on football would enhance fluency and coherence. For example, you could say 'I play football with my friends for about two hours a week'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Instead of 'quite a lot,' specify the amount of time. The word 'spent' is repeated unnecessarily. Using more precise vocabulary will improve the score. For example, instead of 'spent time with my friends,' you could say 'socialize with my friends' or 'spend quality time with my friends'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors. The sentence 'I spent quite a lot on it' is incorrect. It should be 'I spend quite a lot of time on it.' The sentence structure is simple and repetitive. Using more complex sentence structures and ensuring correct grammar will improve the score. Consider combining the two sentences about football and friends into one more complex sentence.
