Not at all. This might be because when I was a child, I used to celebrate the festival without any stress. I could do whatever I wanted. But now things have changed. I am older, so I have to take the responsibility of my family. I handle all the household tasks, including cooking. So I can't celebrate the festival like before. Although I still enjoy the festival, it's not like before.

Task Response

The answer is coherent and addresses all parts of the question. Consider expanding on the changes and responsibilities you now have as an adult, providing more specific examples to enrich your response. Adding a concluding sentence summarizing your feelings about the festival's significance in your life now versus when you were a child would enhance the overall structure.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speaker's ideas flow logically. Minor improvements could be made by pausing slightly more between sentences for better pacing and emphasis. The occasional omission of 'the' before 'festival' is minor and doesn't significantly impact understanding.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. The speaker uses phrases like "take the responsibility" and "household tasks" effectively. More sophisticated vocabulary could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'things have changed,' a more nuanced phrase could be used, such as 'my priorities have shifted'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The speaker uses a range of tenses appropriately. The sentence 'Although I still enjoy festival not like before' could be improved to 'Although I still enjoy the festival, it's not the same as before' for better grammatical accuracy and clarity. The occasional omission of articles is a minor issue.
