Band 7+: Are you the kind of person who sticks to dreams?

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, consistent position. The response is well-developed, moving beyond a simple 'yes' to explain the psychological mechanisms used to maintain motivation, such as reflecting on past progress and purpose. To maintain this level of performance, continue using cohesive devices and varied vocabulary to link personal experiences with general attitudes.

The answer is coherent and follows a logical progression. You move from a direct answer to an explanation of your mindset. However, there is a slight lack of cohesive devices to link the sentences more smoothly. To reach a higher band, try using more sophisticated discourse markers such as 'Moreover,' 'This is because,' or 'In doing so' to connect your thoughts.

You used some good idiomatic expressions like 'set my mind to something.' However, there was a significant lexical error in the raw transcript: 'that might reach me to keep going even when I get sucked.' Based on the context, you likely meant 'motivate me' and 'get stuck.' Using 'sucked' in this context is incorrect and changes the meaning entirely. Aim for more precision in your word choices to avoid such misunderstandings.

You demonstrated a good use of conditional structures ('if I set my mind... I won't...') and present perfect tense ('I have made,' 'I have overcome'). The sentence structure is generally good, but the error in the final clause ('that might reach me to keep going') shows a breakdown in grammatical accuracy regarding verb patterns. Focus on mastering verb + infinitive vs. verb + object patterns.
