Well, I think this is because some people share the same interests with friends, so it's easy for them to relate. Moreover, friends allow each other to be themselves, which feels natural, and they have a chance to enjoy spending time together. This lets them enjoy celebrations to the fullest, and I think it's always fun to mess around with people. You are all on the same page, and this sets friends apart and makes young people prioritize their friends. This is why they prefer celebrating festivals with friends.

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 well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question with relevant explanations. Consider exploring the contrasting viewpoint - why some young people *do* prefer family celebrations - to enrich the response and demonstrate a more nuanced understanding of the topic.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of repetition and unclear phrasing. Try to plan your response beforehand to improve the flow and coherence. For example, the phrase 'as a result feels as is, and as without a chance while spending time together' is confusing and needs rewording.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but there's room for improvement in precision. Words like "mess around" are informal and less precise than alternatives like "have fun" or "relax". Using more sophisticated vocabulary will enhance your score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and word order. The sentence 'You are all on the same opinions, and this was set to set friends apart from friends and make the young people priorities' is grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand. Focus on improving sentence structure and grammatical accuracy. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
