I actually prefer going to beach destinations. I really like the sound of waves and watching the sunset and sunrise by the beach. I believe there are a lot of activities to do on holiday that include going to the sea. For example, I could simply sit and get a suntan by the sea, or I can swim with the dolphins. I think it is more interesting and adventurous than any other kind of destination.

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speaker expresses their preference clearly and provides relevant examples.

The slight hesitation before 'or I can swim with the dolphins' is barely noticeable and doesn't significantly impact fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'suntan' and 'adventurous' show a good range. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the beach experience, for example, instead of 'the sound of waves,' the speaker could use 'the rhythmic crashing of waves' or 'the mesmerizing sound of the ocean.'

The sentence 'I believe there are a lot of activities to do on holiday that includes going to the sea' could be improved to 'I believe there are many activities to do on holiday that include going to the sea' or 'I believe there are a lot of activities to do on a beach holiday.' The overall grammatical range is good, showing a variety of sentence structures.
