Band 7+: Do you generally try to fix things when they stop working?

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear, logical reason for the response. To reach a higher level of development, you could expand on the answer by providing a specific example of something that was recently broken or by mentioning whether you have ever attempted to fix something yourself in the past. This would demonstrate a greater ability to elaborate on personal experiences.

The answer is very fluent and flows naturally. You answered the question directly and provided a logical reason for your behavior. To reach a Band 9, you could extend your answer slightly more by providing a specific example (e.g., 'like a broken toaster or a leaking tap') to demonstrate more complex cohesive devices.

You used appropriate vocabulary such as 'repairing items' and 'broken'. However, the vocabulary is somewhat basic. To improve, try using more idiomatic expressions or precise synonyms. Instead of 'fix absolutely anything', you could say 'he is quite handy around the house' or 'he is a jack-of-all-trades'.

The grammar is accurate and the sentence structure is sound. You used a complex sentence structure with 'because' and 'when'. To hit a Band 9, try incorporating a wider variety of structures, such as a conditional sentence (e.g., 'If I were more mechanically inclined, I would try to fix them myself, but...') to show off your range.
