Band 6+: Why is English important today?

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides relevant supporting details, such as its importance in the professional world and academia. To reach a higher level of development, you could expand further on the social or cultural aspects of the language, such as its role in travel or entertainment. Additionally, varying your sentence structures and using more sophisticated cohesive devices would enhance the natural flow of the response.

You answered the question directly and used cohesive devices like 'For instance' and 'Additionally' to structure your thoughts. However, the response is quite brief. To reach a higher band, try to expand your ideas further - for example, by mentioning specific benefits like travel, internet access, or cultural exchange. This will demonstrate a greater ability to sustain a conversation.

The vocabulary used is functional but very basic (e.g., 'important things', 'many fields', 'global language'). You repeated the word 'English' many times in a short span. To improve, try using synonyms or more sophisticated collocations. Instead of 'important things', you could say 'essential skills' or 'crucial assets'. Instead of repeating 'English', you could use terms like 'the language', 'this lingua franca', or 'linguistic proficiency'.

There were significant grammatical errors in the raw transcript that affected clarity, specifically the phrase 'English requires because working language is English'. This lacks a passive structure ('is required') and a definite article ('the working language'). While the refined version corrects these, the original performance shows a reliance on simple sentence structures. Aim to use more complex structures, such as conditional sentences (e.g., 'If one wishes to work in a multinational corporation, English becomes indispensable') or relative clauses.
