I did a survey about young people and their free time. I asked some young people what they like to do. Most young people often use their phones, usually for social media and watching videos. Some of them sometimes play free-to-play games and surf the internet, and those are common habits.

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and provides relevant information about common hobbies among young people in the country. However, it is somewhat limited in scope, focusing only on young people and digital activities, and does not fully address the question in a general manner for the whole country. To improve, consider mentioning a wider range of hobbies across different age groups, such as traditional activities, sports, or outdoor pursuits, and avoid framing the response as a personal survey. Additionally, using more varied vocabulary and providing more detailed examples would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and logically organized, presenting a survey-based response. However, there is some repetition ('young people' used three times) and a minor self-correction ('serve the internet' to 'surf the internet' in the refined version, but in the raw answer it's 'serve the internet' which is a lexical error, not a fluency issue). The response could be more developed with additional examples or a broader perspective beyond just young people. To improve, try to extend your answers with more detail and use a wider range of cohesive devices.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. For example, 'serve the internet' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'surf the internet'. 'F2P games' is an abbreviation that may not be clear to the examiner; it's better to say 'free-to-play games'. The range of vocabulary is limited, with common words like 'use', 'like', 'common'. To improve, learn and use more specific and varied vocabulary related to hobbies and free-time activities, such as 'browsing', 'streaming', 'engaging with', 'pastimes', 'leisure activities'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with simple and compound sentences. There are no major errors, but the range of structures is limited. The answer uses present simple tense consistently, which is appropriate. However, there is a minor issue: 'serve the internet' is a lexical error, not grammatical. To achieve a higher score, try to incorporate more complex structures, such as relative clauses, conditionals, or passive voice, and ensure all collocations are correct.
