I have to say that it has transformed. When I was younger, I had a lot of time to listen to music, draw pictures, watch television. But now I have a lot of things to do, such as I must do homework, prepare for my passion which is learning English. Besides that, I have a part-time job. So, my routine is not the same as when I was a child.

The response addresses the question by comparing the student's routine as a child to their current routine. It provides specific details about the activities they used to do and the new responsibilities they have now. To improve, try to directly answer the question at the beginning of the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is mostly coherent and organized, with a clear progression of ideas. However, there are some hesitations and repetitions ('um', 'a lot of things to do'). Try to reduce these to improve fluency. Additionally, work on using more varied cohesive devices to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

There is a good range of vocabulary used, such as 'transformed', 'passion', and 'part-time job'. However, there are some inaccuracies ('transblocked', 'routing') that affect the overall lexical resource score. Try to focus on using precise vocabulary and avoiding errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates a mix of simple and complex structures, such as 'I must do homework' and 'prepare for my passion which is learning English'. However, there are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasings ('when I will try'). Work on improving accuracy by paying attention to verb tenses and sentence structures.
