Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is relevant and provides sufficient detail about the types of accommodation prevalent in the speaker's city. To improve, consider expanding on the reasons behind the shift towards apartments, perhaps mentioning factors like population density, cost of living, or urban planning. Adding a brief comparison to other housing types would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slight unnatural phrasing ('some rented a flat to live') are present but do not significantly detract from the overall fluency. Consider pausing slightly more between sentences for better pacing and clarity.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. The use of 'flats' and 'apartments' interchangeably is slightly imprecise. More precise vocabulary could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'apartment builders,' you could use 'property developers' or a similar term.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. 'Now, which they were houses...' is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure could be improved for clarity and accuracy. Consider using more varied sentence structures to demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
