Band 4+: how often do you go to the cinema or watch movies

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

The response addresses the topic but lacks coherence and logical progression. The answer contains several disconnected sentences that do not form a unified response to the specific question. To improve, focus on connecting your ideas using cohesive devices (e.g., 'However,' 'On the other hand,' 'For instance'). Instead of jumping between different thoughts like being tired, going to the cinema, and describing a specific film, try to structure your answer by first stating your frequency and then providing a reason or a specific example to support it. Avoid meta-talk, such as asking if the answer fits the question, as this is not part of a natural speaking response.

The response lacks logical flow and coherence. You spent the first few seconds questioning if the answer 'fits,' which is unnecessary in a real exam and wastes time. There is significant hesitation and a lack of cohesive devices to link your ideas. To improve, try to answer the question directly and use connectors like 'Actually,' 'For instance,' or 'On the other hand' to bridge your thoughts.

The vocabulary is very basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'interesting' twice). In the raw transcript, there was also a breakdown in word choice ('I really move with...'). To reach a higher band, you should use more descriptive adjectives and collocations. Instead of 'interesting,' try 'captivating,' 'gripping,' or 'thought-provoking.' Instead of 'watch movies,' try 'binge-watch a series' or 'catch a blockbuster at the cinema.'

There are several grammatical errors that impede communication. You struggled with verb tenses (e.g., 'If I tired' instead of 'If I am tired' and 'I am watching' instead of 'I watch'). There is also a lack of subject-verb agreement and proper sentence structure. Focus on mastering the present simple for habits and the present continuous for actions happening right now. Aim to use complex sentences (using 'because,' 'although,' or 'when') rather than just short, simple sentences.
