Band 6+: What role do you believe social media plays in shaping public opinion on complex political issues?

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

The response addresses the question but could benefit from more depth and specific examples. To improve, consider elaborating on how social media shapes opinions, discussing the impact of algorithms, echo chambers, or the spread of misinformation. Providing concrete examples of political issues and how social media has influenced public perception would also strengthen the answer.

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly. To improve, try using transition words and phrases to connect your thoughts more logically. For example, you could use 'furthermore,' 'in addition,' or 'on the other hand' to introduce new points or contrasting ideas.

The vocabulary is adequate but somewhat limited. The response relies on common words and phrases without demonstrating a wide range. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to politics and social media. For example, instead of 'major differences,' you could say 'ideological divergences' or 'policy contrasts.'

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors that affect clarity. For example, 'Social Media plays a major role in public opinion of political issues because we can see how political issues are going' could be improved to 'Social media plays a major role in shaping public opinion on political issues because we can see how these issues are evolving.' Pay attention to verb tense consistency and sentence structure to improve grammatical accuracy.
