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 relevant to the question and provides some information about the hobby. However, it could be improved by elaborating more on the details of skiing, such as the types of skiing, the frequency of skiing, and the feelings or experiences associated with it. Adding more descriptive language would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There's a slight stumble in the middle where the speaker mentions tourists and visitors coming to their *house*, which is slightly unnatural. Minor repetition of 'So as I told you...' could be avoided. Improving the flow by using more sophisticated linking words would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like 'tourist' and 'visitor' are simple and could be replaced with more precise or nuanced vocabulary. Using synonyms or more descriptive language would improve the lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'many tourist and visitor comes to my house...' shows a subject-verb agreement issue. While understandable, using more complex grammatical structures would improve the score. Consider using passive voice or relative clauses to demonstrate a wider range.
