Band 7+: 1. Have you ever sent a thank you card to others?

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

The response is relevant and coherent. Consider elaborating on the cultural aspect of verbal thank yous, perhaps by providing an example or explaining the nuances of verbal expressions of gratitude in your culture. Exploring the reasons behind your preference for digital communication over cards would also enrich your answer.

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. The pacing is good. Minor improvements could be made by slightly expanding on the cultural aspect. Perhaps adding a sentence or two about the preference for verbal thanks in your culture would enhance the response.

Vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. Words like "typically" could replace "usually" to show a wider range of vocabulary. More descriptive language could be used to paint a clearer picture of cultural norms.

Grammar is mostly accurate. The contraction "it's" in the refined answer is a small improvement. Using more complex sentence structures would improve the score. For example, instead of two separate sentences, combining them into one would demonstrate a wider range of grammatical structures.
