Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

Task Response

The answer is understandable but drifts slightly from the question's focus. It mentions a friend's TV habits and family time, which are indirectly related but don't directly address how often the speaker watches TV. Focusing more directly on personal viewing habits and frequency would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks a clear structure. The connection between the friend's TV habits and the speaker's own is unclear. Focus on directly answering the question first, then adding details. Practice speaking more smoothly and connecting your ideas with transition words.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The phrase "make a nice match" is not quite right; consider using more precise language like "have a nice time" or "spend quality time". Expand your vocabulary related to leisure activities and frequency adverbs.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly correct, but there are some minor errors ("on weekend" should be "on weekends", "make a nice match" is inaccurate). Work on using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as perfect tenses to describe past habits, and ensure consistent subject-verb agreement.
