Band 6+: Are you good at remembering names?

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear, logical response. You have successfully expanded on your initial answer by explaining the contrast between your ability to remember names versus faces, and you added a practical consequence of this trait. To maintain this level of performance, continue to use cohesive devices like 'instead' and 'thus' to link your ideas smoothly.

You answered the question directly and used cohesive devices like 'Thus' and 'Instead' to link your ideas. However, the flow was slightly interrupted by awkward phrasing in the final sentence. To improve, work on the natural transition between your weakness (forgetting names) and your solution (asking again). Avoid overusing formal connectors like 'Thus' in a casual Part 1 setting; 'So' or 'Because of that' often sounds more natural.

You attempted to use idiomatic expressions like 'slip my mind,' which is excellent. However, there were significant errors in word choice and collocation: 'memory of recording people's names' is unnatural (should be 'memory for names'), and 'ask politely a vote and your name' is nonsensical in this context. Focus on learning collocations - words that naturally go together - to avoid these confusing phrases.

You demonstrated some complex structures, but there were several grammatical errors that hindered clarity. For example, 'faces appearance' is redundant and grammatically incorrect (it should be 'facial appearance' or just 'faces'), and 'ask politely a vote and your name' is a broken structure. To reach a higher band, ensure that your sentence endings are grammatically complete and that your use of prepositions (e.g., 'ask for') is accurate.
