Even though my childhood was full of great memories, I want to speak about one that I have never forgotten. It was my first trip with my family to Mashhad, and we stayed there for a week. I spent that time with joy and pleasure, and it became a wonderful trip for me at the age of 7.

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 a good start, but it could be improved by elaborating on the specific details that made the trip so memorable. Adding descriptions of activities, people, or emotions would make the response more engaging and demonstrate a higher level of fluency and coherence.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. There is some repetition ('joy and pleasure and time'), but it doesn't significantly hinder understanding. Minor improvements in phrasing would enhance fluency. For example, instead of 'Even though my childhood was full of best memories, but I want to speak about one of them...' a more concise and natural phrasing would be 'One of my most cherished childhood memories is...'

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like 'joy and pleasure' are simple and could be replaced with more descriptive and evocative language. Consider using more specific vocabulary to describe the trip and your feelings. For example, instead of 'wonderful trip,' you could describe specific activities or sights that made it memorable.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor issues. The sentence 'And I spent those times with joy and pleasure and time' is slightly awkward. The phrase 'for 7 years' is also slightly unclear; it would be better to say 'when I was 7 years old' or 'at the age of 7'. While the grammar is understandable, using more varied sentence structures would improve the score.
