Band 5+: Describe a person who encouraged you to achieve your goal.

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

The response identifies a person (the mother) but fails to address the core requirement of the topic, which is to describe a specific goal that was achieved through encouragement. The answer remains at a very general level, discussing the importance of support systems rather than providing a narrative about a particular instance or achievement. To improve, the response should focus on one specific goal (e.g., passing an exam, learning a skill, or a fitness milestone) and detail how the person specifically helped in that process. Including specific anecdotes and describing the challenges faced during that particular goal would help in meeting the requirements for a higher score. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The speaker demonstrates a willingness to speak but lacks the structural depth required for a Part 2 long turn. The response is quite short and lacks a logical progression or a specific anecdote about a particular goal. To improve, use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'In addition to this', 'Looking back') and follow the 'PPF' method (Past, Present, Future) to extend your answer. Instead of just listing people, tell a story about a specific time someone encouraged you.

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'important' and 'person' multiple times). There were also some word choice errors in the raw transcript, such as 'circular round of people' instead of 'social circle' and 'risk the mountain' which was likely a mistranslation or misuse of an idiom. Aim to use more idiomatic expressions and precise collocations, such as 'unwavering support,' 'motivate me to strive for excellence,' or 'a pillar of strength.'

The grammar is limited to simple sentence structures. There are several errors in the raw transcript regarding verb forms and preposition usage (e.g., 'to supporting you' instead of 'to support you', and 'the people who run me' instead of 'encourage me'). To reach higher bands, you must attempt complex sentences using relative clauses (who/which/that) and conditional structures (If it hadn't been for my mother, I wouldn't have...). Ensure subject-verb agreement is consistent.
