Firstly, I used to watch television every day, a few years ago, for a couple of hours, but now I don't watch TV because I don't have the time. Also, I use my smartphone for social media instead of television. Besides that, watching TV can be a good way to relax, but there are a lot of negative effects on health.

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question. Consider expanding on the "negative effects on health" to provide more specific examples and strengthen your response. Adding a concluding sentence summarizing your current TV habits would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized. The speaker uses cohesive devices like 'Firstly,' 'Also,' and 'Besides that' effectively. There is a slight hesitation and minor grammatical error ('use to' instead of 'used to'), but overall fluency is good.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'couple of hours,' 'social media,' and 'negative effects' are used accurately. The phrase 'a lot of bad things for health' could be improved to 'a lot of negative effects on health' for better precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there is one noticeable error ('use to' instead of 'used to'). Sentence structures are simple but effective. More complex grammatical structures would enhance the score.
