Since I was a child, I have engaged in my favorite hobby, which is dancing. I try to be careful to continue doing this hobby because I am interested in dancing. This is my most favorite hobby. I like to feel more comfortable, more relaxed, and more refreshed. It is not about what we like or dislike. For me, it is interesting to enjoy the experience. It is wonderful to dance all the time. I try to find enough time to practice this hobby because I feel that my soul, body, and brain are very comfortable. I aim to feel refreshed and gain enough energy, unlike anything else. I hope that my hobby is great and acceptable for me.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

Task Response

The answer is quite repetitive and lacks specific details. Consider providing more concrete examples of your dance experiences, the types of dance you enjoy, and how it has impacted your life. Elaborating on the benefits you mentioned (feeling refreshed, comfortable, etc.) with specific examples would strengthen your response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There is some repetition and slightly unnatural phrasing. Focus on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary repetition, such as 'I try to be more comfortable, more relaxed, more refreshed' appearing twice. Practice speaking more naturally and spontaneously.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and range. While the speaker conveys the meaning, more sophisticated vocabulary could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'interesting for me to enjoy a bell,' a more precise phrase would be needed. Consider using more descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of the experience of dancing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies. For example, 'Since I was a child, I do a lot of my favorite hobby' should be 'Since I was a child, I have engaged in my favorite hobby' or 'Since childhood, my favorite hobby has been dancing'. The sentence 'It is not about what we like or dislike' is grammatically correct but doesn't quite fit the context. Work on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure for a higher score. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
