Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the context. Words like "convenient" are used effectively. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to demonstrate a wider range, such as replacing "spend a good time" with "enjoy quality time" or "spend time together". The phrase "happens to be" is slightly informal; a more formal alternative would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate with only minor issues. The sentence 'So we see each other and spend a good time with each other during the weekends because it's the most convenient time to spend with one another' is slightly repetitive. Consider combining the two clauses to improve conciseness and precision. Overall, the grammatical range is good, showing a variety of sentence structures.
