Male Female

I want to describe a new law I'd like to introduce in my country, which is to ban looking at smartphones on the street. When I commute to university, I often see people walking while staring at their phones, and I think it is a very dangerous situation because it can cause many accidents due to a lack of caution. Under this law, people can't use their smartphones on the road. If they want to use their phone, they have to stop and do whatever they want to do. However, I think it is totally fine to listen to music because it doesn't require watching the screen. As for me, I always commute with music, so this exception is very important for me. If this law is passed, it will help make people much safer than before, and I think it can decrease the probability of accidents caused by using smartphones. I believe this law is very effective for people in modern society.

I want to describe a new law I’d like to introduce in my country which is that we should ban looking at smartphones on the street. When I commit to university, I can easily see people who walk while staring at their phones and I think it is a very dangerous situation because it can cause many accidents due to a lack of caution. So under this law, people can’t use their small phones on the road. If they want to use their phone, they have to stop and do whatever they want to do. However, I think it is totally fine to listen to music because it doesn’t require watching the screen. And as for me, I always commute with music so this exception is very for me. So like I mean if this law will, if this law is passed it will help make people much safer than before and I think it can decrease the probability of accidents that happen by using smartphones. So yeah I believe this law is very effective for people in modern society.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses most of the prompts provided in the topic. The speaker clearly identifies the law, explains the intended changes, and discusses the reasoning behind it. To improve the score, the response should aim to address all bullet points more comprehensively. Specifically, the speaker should explicitly state whether the law would be popular among the general public and provide more detail on the specific moment or thought process that led to the idea (how they came up with it). Additionally, expanding on the emotional aspect - how the speaker feels about the law beyond just its effectiveness - would help in providing a more fully developed answer. Including more specific personal anecdotes or hypothetical scenarios could also help in meeting the requirement for depth and length.

Fluency & Coherence

You maintained a steady flow and were able to address all parts of the prompt. However, there was some repetition of ideas and a few hesitations/self-corrections (e.g., 'if this law will, if this law is passed'). To improve, work on using a wider variety of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'Consequently,' 'From my perspective') to link your ideas more smoothly rather than relying on 'So' and 'And'.

Lexical Resource

Your vocabulary is sufficient to convey your meaning, but it is somewhat basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'use their phone' and 'accidents' multiple times). You used some good phrases like 'lack of caution' and 'decrease the probability,' but to reach a higher band, you should incorporate more sophisticated collocations and synonyms. For example, instead of 'small phones,' use 'handheld devices,' or instead of 'dangerous situation,' use 'hazardous practice' or 'perilous behavior'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

You demonstrated a mix of simple and complex structures, but there were noticeable errors. For instance, 'When I commit to university' should be 'When I commute to university,' and 'this exception is very for me' was an incomplete thought (missing the adjective 'important'). You also struggled slightly with conditional structures ('if this law will... if this law is passed'). Focus on mastering first and second conditional structures and ensuring that your adjectives are used correctly in complete phrases.
