Band 4+: Do you like reading?

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, which is good. However, the response is quite brief. To improve, consider elaborating on why you prefer movies over reading or mentioning what kind of movies you enjoy. Expanding your answer with a reason or a specific example would make the response more well-developed and natural for an IELTS interview. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer is very brief and lacks development. In IELTS Speaking Part 1, while you don't need to give a lecture, a single sentence is often insufficient to demonstrate fluency. To improve, try to explain *why* you don't like reading or *why* you prefer movies. Use cohesive devices like 'instead' or 'because' to extend your response.

The vocabulary used is basic and functional ('like', 'prefer', 'watching', 'movies'). To reach a higher band, you should use more descriptive language or idiomatic expressions. For example, instead of 'I don't like reading,' you could say, 'I've never been much of a bookworm' or 'Reading isn't really my cup of tea.'

The sentence structure is quite simple. There is also a slight awkwardness in the word order of the raw answer ('regularly I don't like reading'). While the meaning is clear, a higher-scoring candidate would use more complex structures, such as: 'Although I occasionally pick up a book, I generally find myself gravitating towards documentaries instead.'
