Band 7+: How does the fast fashion industry impact the economic stability of developing countries?

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

The response addresses the question directly and provides several relevant economic points, such as inflation, resource diversion, and the distinction between short-term growth and long-term stability. The answer maintains a general, academic perspective rather than relying on personal anecdotes, which is appropriate for Part 3. To reach a higher level of development, the response could benefit from more specific examples or a more detailed explanation of the causal link between fast fashion production/consumption and the specific economic mechanisms mentioned (for instance, explaining how the reliance on low-wage manufacturing might affect a nation's economic structure).

The answer is logically structured and follows a clear progression of ideas (cause $rightarrow$ effect $rightarrow$ conclusion). You used cohesive devices like 'Additionally', 'So', and 'Thus' effectively. However, to reach a higher band, you should aim for more complex transitions and avoid the slight hesitation/repetition seen in the raw transcript. The flow is good, but the connection between fast fashion and the diversion of resources from education/infrastructure is a bit of a logical leap that could be explained more smoothly.

You used some good academic collocations such as 'significantly impact', 'economic stability', 'drives up prices', 'contributing to inflation', and 'economic volatility'. There was a minor error in the raw transcript ('researchers' instead of 'resources'), which I assume was a slip of the tongue. To improve, try to incorporate more specific terminology related to economics, such as 'labor exploitation', 'resource allocation', or 'macroeconomic fluctuations'.

The grammatical structures are generally accurate and you successfully used complex sentences (e.g., the 'while...' clause at the end). The raw transcript had a slight error in the final clause ('it will reach undermining'), which was corrected in the refined version to 'it will ultimately undermine'. To achieve a band 8 or 9, ensure that your use of subordinate clauses and conditional structures is seamless and error-free even when discussing complex abstract concepts.
