Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides specific examples of changes made to the room, such as adding photos, decorations, and plants. Furthermore, the response goes beyond a simple list by explaining the reasoning behind keeping the room tidy, which demonstrates a good ability to elaborate naturally. To maintain this level, continue to provide brief justifications or reasons for your statements.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is very coherent and flows naturally. You used a logical structure: first addressing the aesthetic aspect (personalization) and then the functional aspect (tidiness). The use of 'because' provides a clear reason for your actions, which is essential for a high score in Part 1.

Lexical Resource

You used appropriate vocabulary such as 'personal,' 'decorations,' and 'environment.' To reach a Band 9, you could incorporate more idiomatic expressions or more sophisticated synonyms. For example, instead of 'make it feel more personal,' you could say 'infuse the space with my personality,' or instead of 'keep it tidy,' you could say 'maintain an organized space.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is flawless. You correctly used the present perfect tense ('I've tried') to describe actions that have an effect on the present, and the present simple ('I also keep') for habitual actions. The sentence structures are varied and error-free.
