Band 4+: Describe a piece of advice you received that you didn't follow. You should say: - Who gave you the advice - What the advice was - Why you didn't follow it And explain the consequences of not following the advice.

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

The response addresses the topic by mentioning who gave the advice (a friend), what the advice was (to study a specific unit), and the result of not following it (scoring higher than the friend). However, it lacks a clear explanation of why the advice was not followed initially, and the details are vague and somewhat confusing. To improve, provide a more structured and detailed account, including specific reasons for your initial decision and a clearer narrative of the outcome. Expand on your personal experience with more concrete examples and ensure the response flows logically from the advice to the result. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer lacks clear organization and coherence. The speaker jumps between ideas without clear progression, and there is noticeable repetition and self-correction (e.g., 'so that it can be in the... So that it would be in the essence'). The response does not fully address all parts of the topic, particularly the reason for not following the advice and the result, which are vague. To improve, structure the answer with clear paragraphs: introduce the advice, explain why you didn't follow it, and describe the outcome. Use cohesive devices like 'however', 'as a result', and 'in the end' to link ideas.

Vocabulary is limited and imprecise. Phrases like 'in the essence' are unclear, and 'study efforts' is awkward. There is little flexibility in word choice, and some words are used incorrectly (e.g., 'sends family' instead of 'seems fine'). To improve, expand vocabulary related to advice, study, and outcomes. Use precise terms like 'follow the advice', 'focus on specific units', 'achieve a score', and 'in hindsight'. Avoid vague expressions and aim for more natural collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are frequent grammatical errors and limited range of structures. Errors include incorrect verb tense ('This happened in last year' should be 'This happened last year'), subject-verb agreement ('my friends said' but later 'she gave me advice'), and unclear pronoun reference ('I hadn't met him in this test'). The answer relies on simple sentences and lacks complex structures. To improve, practice using past tenses consistently, ensure subject-verb agreement, and incorporate a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences. For example, 'Although my friend advised me to focus on one unit, I decided to study everything, which turned out to be beneficial.'
