Pronunciation

7.5

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it lacks detail and depth. Consider providing specific examples of common hobbies and expanding on their popularity. Focus on describing hobbies rather than discussing social policy.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are several instances of repetition and self-correction. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve coherence and reduce hesitations. The structure is a bit rambling; a clearer introduction and conclusion would help.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "different kinds of snacks" are a bit vague. Try to use more specific and descriptive vocabulary to enhance your response. The word 'iterate' is misused; consider replacing it with a more appropriate synonym like 'interact' or 'spend time with'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in subject-verb agreement ("hobbies that is popular") and tense consistency. Work on improving accuracy in basic sentence structures. The use of 'have to' is slightly overused. More varied grammatical structures would improve the score.
