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 a clear comparison between the two places. However, it could be improved by elaborating on the differences with more specific details and examples. Consider adding more descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of each location and further highlight the contrasts.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There is some repetition and hesitation ("So now where I live so that"). More sophisticated linking words and phrases would enhance coherence. For example, instead of simply stating contrasts, use phrases like "In contrast," "On the other hand," or "Conversely."

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "opportunities" are good, but more precise language would improve the score. For example, instead of "a lot of opportunities," describe specific opportunities. The phrase "other sports" is a little vague; specify the types of sports facilities. Avoid repetition of words like "too much".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. The sentence "So now where I live so that this is very too much quiet" is grammatically incorrect. The use of "as well as" is slightly awkward in this context. The structure of the comparison could be improved by using more parallel sentence structures. More complex grammatical structures would improve the score.
