Band 6+: (2) Is technology a good or a bad thing?

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

The student provides a good response to the question, acknowledging that technology is neither inherently good nor bad, and that its impact depends on how it is used. They provide personal examples of how technology has been beneficial to them, and also acknowledge the potential negative aspects. However, the response could be more nuanced and explore the complexities of technology's impact in more detail. For example, the student could discuss specific examples of how technology can be misused, or how it can have both positive and negative effects on different aspects of life.

The student's speech is generally fluent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions, particularly at the beginning of the response. The student also uses some fillers, such as "um" and "so." The response is organized coherently, with a clear introduction, examples, and conclusion. However, the student could improve the flow of their speech by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases.

The student uses a range of vocabulary, including some more complex words such as "inherently," "detrimental," and "double-edged sword." However, there are some instances of less precise language, such as "doing my homeworks" and "look for at things." The student could also expand their vocabulary by using more specific and descriptive words to express their ideas.

The student demonstrates a good understanding of grammar, but there are some errors, such as "it is not all probacity" and "it's not always used responsibly." The student also uses some incorrect verb tenses, such as "helped me to doing my homeworks." The student could improve their grammatical accuracy by paying more attention to verb tenses and subject-verb agreement.
