Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is quite repetitive and lacks detail. Consider providing specific examples of trips you've taken and what you enjoyed about them. Elaborating on the impact travel has had on your life would also strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. There is a natural flow to the response. Minor repetition ('I like to travel new place and explore them') could be improved by combining these into one concise phrase. The occasional slight hesitation doesn't detract significantly from the overall fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'variety,' 'source of enjoyment,' and 'explore' demonstrate a good range. More precise vocabulary could be used in places; for example, instead of 'adds something new,' a phrase like 'broadens my horizons' or 'enriches my life' would be more sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. 'I like to travel new place' should be 'I like to travel to new places.' 'historical place' should be 'historical places.' The sentence 'When I travel to a new place it adds something new in my lifestyle' has a preposition error ('in' should be 'to'). While these are minor errors, consistent accuracy at this level is expected for a band 9.
