I mostly like to read biographies. I'm not sure if it's interesting to read about people's real lives, especially when they have interesting lives and deal with many problems. I do read fiction as well, but I often think it's difficult to get something good out of a book that I read. I also like reading books that have a curious effect.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some information about the types of books the speaker likes to read. However, the answer could be improved by providing more specific examples of the types of biographies or fiction books that the speaker enjoys. The phrase 'curious effect' is vague and could be elaborated upon for greater clarity. Focusing on providing more detailed examples and explanations would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the structure could be improved. There's some repetition and slightly unclear phrasing. Try to organize your thoughts into a more logical sequence before speaking. For example, you could structure your answer by stating your preferences and then elaborating on each one separately.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. Phrases like "get good off a book" are not quite right. Work on expanding your vocabulary and using more precise words to express your ideas. Consider using synonyms for frequently used words.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and word choice. Focus on improving sentence structure and accuracy. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
