My favorite hobby is running. I have been running since 2024, and I run regularly every Saturday at the nearest park called Tabut Ecopark. I choose Tabut Ecopark because it has a running track, and it is quieter than other parks, so I can focus on my running and not be distracted by anything else.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a well-developed response. You have successfully expanded on your answer by including specific details such as the frequency of the activity, the location, and the reasons why you prefer that particular setting. To maintain this level of performance, continue to provide these types of supporting details to demonstrate fluency and coherence.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and follows a logical progression: identifying the hobby, stating the frequency/location, and explaining the reason. However, to reach a higher band, you could use more sophisticated discourse markers or connectors (e.g., 'What I love most about it is...' or 'The main reason I prefer this location is...') to make the flow feel more natural and less like a list of facts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and clear, but it is quite basic. You used words like 'regularly', 'focus', and 'distracted', which are good, but the overall range is limited. To improve, try using more topic-specific collocations or idiomatic expressions related to fitness, such as 'to clear my head', 'to stay in shape', or 'to get some fresh air'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors in the raw transcript that affect the score. Specifically: 'it over the running track' (missing the verb 'has'), 'it is quiet than' (missing the comparative form 'quieter'), and 'would not be distracted with' (incorrect preposition; 'distracted by' is more natural). While the meaning is clear, these errors in basic comparative structures and verb usage prevent a higher score. Focus on mastering comparative adjectives and subject-verb agreement.
