Band 6+: How often do you use social media

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear, logical explanation for the frequency of social media use. The response is well-developed, moving beyond a simple frequency adverb to explain the underlying reasons, such as academic requirements and social networking. To maintain this level of performance, continue to use cohesive devices to link your reasons to your main point, as seen in this response.

The answer is coherent and follows a logical progression, but it suffers from repetitive sentence structures and over-reliance on the conjunction 'and' to link ideas. To improve, try using a wider variety of cohesive devices such as 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to this,' or 'Consequently' to avoid a 'run-on' sentence feel. You also repeat the phrase 'during the day' and 'that's why' multiple times, which affects your fluency score.

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the topic (e.g., 'networking,' 'tasks,' 'social media') but remains quite basic. To reach a higher band, you should aim for more precise or idiomatic language. Instead of saying 'use more than normal hours,' you could say 'I spend a significant amount of time scrolling through my feeds' or 'I am constantly glued to my phone due to academic requirements.'

There are several grammatical inaccuracies in the raw transcript. For example, 'I have always a lot of tasks' should be 'I always have a lot of tasks' (adverb placement). Additionally, 'the chatting or speak' is ungrammatical; it should be 'chatting or speaking' to maintain parallel structure. You rely heavily on simple sentence structures; try incorporating complex sentences using relative clauses (e.g., 'Social media, which is essential for my studies, allows me to...') to demonstrate a higher range.
