Band 6+: are you reading habits different than in the past

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

The answer is relevant to the question and demonstrates a comparison between past and present reading habits. However, the answer could be improved by providing more detail and explanation about the reasons for the change in reading habits. Elaborating on the types of books read in the past and present, and the specific benefits derived from reading travel books would strengthen the response.

The answer is understandable and coherent, but there are some minor issues with fluency. The phrasing 'in this time' is slightly awkward and repetitive. A more natural flow could be achieved by removing unnecessary phrases and connecting ideas more smoothly. For example, instead of 'in this time because in this time,' a more concise phrasing would be more effective. The structure is simple but effective.

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the speaker uses words like 'beneficial,' more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. The term 'kathong' might need further explanation for clarity, unless it's a commonly understood term in the context of the conversation. More descriptive language would improve the lexical range.

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are a few minor errors. For example, 'I don't like to read in books' is slightly unnatural; 'I didn't like reading books' would be better. The tense usage is inconsistent in places. While the answer is understandable, improving grammatical accuracy and range would significantly improve the score. More complex sentence structures would demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
