I would definitely say no, it is not easy because when people get old, their minds undergo a lot of changes, and it impacts them significantly. This can affect their traits and mindset, and because of this, they struggle with change, especially when it comes to changing their house. My father, for example, is truly in this situation. I remember that when we wanted to change our house, we had to struggle with my father.

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 relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it relies too much on personal experience. Consider broadening the response by discussing the psychological and social factors that might make it difficult for older people to adapt to change, rather than focusing solely on a personal anecdote.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some fluency issues. The speaker uses fillers like "actually" and repeats words and phrases. The structure could be improved by using more concise phrasing and clearer transitions between ideas. For example, instead of 'it can be it might in very impact', a more concise and accurate phrase would be 'it significantly impacts them'. More precise language would improve fluency and coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "struggle" are used repeatedly. More precise vocabulary could be used to describe the challenges faced by older people in adapting to change. For example, instead of 'a lot of change', consider using 'significant cognitive shifts' or 'substantial mental adjustments'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ("getting old" instead of "get old"), incorrect word order ("it very impacts"), and the omission of articles. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. Improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures would significantly improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage.
