Band 5+: which do you prefer reading books or watching movies

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear preference. However, the response relies on repetitive vocabulary and somewhat circular reasoning (e.g., stating 'I feel happy' and 'I feel glad' without explaining why). To improve, try to expand on the 'why' by connecting your points more logically. For instance, instead of repeating that you use subtitles, you could explain how subtitles help you improve your language skills or how visual storytelling appeals to you more than written text. Aim to vary your adjectives and use cohesive devices to link your ideas more smoothly.

The speaker demonstrates a limited ability to maintain flow. There is significant repetition (e.g., 'to watch, to watch, to watch' and 'subtitle, subtitle') which disrupts the coherence of the response. While the answer is direct, the ideas are not logically connected with cohesive devices, and the conclusion 'That's it' is a common sign of a lack of linguistic resources to extend the topic. To improve, try to use linking words like 'Furthermore,' 'Moreover,' or 'As a result' to connect your reasons.

The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive (e.g., 'happy,' 'glad,' 'watch movies'). There is an attempt to use more descriptive terms like 'visual person' and 'passion,' which is good, but the overall range is insufficient for higher bands. The phrase 'I'm a training about subtitle' is also an incorrect use of the word 'training.' Instead of repeating 'watch movies,' try synonyms like 'cinema,' 'films,' or 'motion pictures.' Instead of 'happy/glad,' try 'entertained,' 'captivated,' or 'relaxed.'

There are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I found that help I feel happy' and 'I'm a training about subtitle' are grammatically incorrect. The speaker struggles with verb tenses and sentence structure. To reach a higher band, you need to practice complex sentence structures (e.g., 'Not only do I enjoy the visual aspect, but I also use subtitles to improve my language skills'). Focus on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of gerunds and infinitives.
