This is a great response. You have successfully answered the question and provided sufficient detail and explanation. Your answer is natural and fluent. Consider exploring other aspects of housework in future responses to demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary and experiences.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The ideas flow logically. Minor improvements could be made by slightly smoothing out the transitions between sentences. For example, instead of 'and also when I start cooking...' you could use a more sophisticated transition like 'Furthermore, when I start cooking...'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The idiom "not my cup of tea" is well-used. More sophisticated vocabulary could be incorporated to enhance the response. For example, instead of 'distorts me,' consider using 'distracts me' or 'bothers me.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor flaws. The sentence 'everywhere smells food' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'everywhere smells of food' or 'the food smells up the place'. Using more complex sentence structures would improve the score.
