Band 7+: What are you doing in your free time

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a well-developed response. You have successfully expanded on your hobbies by explaining the purpose behind them and how they relate to your current environment. The use of vocabulary such as 'squander' is effective. To maintain this level, continue to provide reasons or implications for your answers as you did here, as it demonstrates fluency and the ability to elaborate naturally.

You are able to maintain a flow of speech, but there is noticeable repetition and some hesitation (e.g., 'I mean from a laptop'). The connection between your ideas is somewhat loose. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'Not only that, but...') instead of repeating 'And' to start sentences. Try to link your hobby directly to the benefit without restarting the thought process.

You used a very good high-level word: 'squander.' This shows an attempt to use less common vocabulary. However, there were some collocations errors in the raw transcript, such as 'spending time on nature' (should be 'in nature'). To reach a Band 8 or 9, aim for more precise idiomatic expressions and avoid repetitive phrasing like 'other people... from other countries'.

This is your weakest area. There were significant grammatical errors in the raw transcript, particularly with relative clauses: 'the best hobby who is in the location' is grammatically incorrect because 'who' can only refer to people, not hobbies. You also struggled with prepositional usage. Focus on mastering relative pronouns (which/that/who) and ensuring your subject-verb agreement is consistent when describing complex ideas.
