Band 4+: Describe a skill you would like to learn that is completely different from your current job or studies. You should say: - What the skill is - How you would learn it - How much time you would spend on it And explain why you find this skill interesting.

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

The response addresses all parts of the prompt, but the development of each point is quite limited. While the skill (drawing) and the reason for interest are mentioned, the explanation lacks depth and specific detail. To improve, try to expand on the 'how' and 'how much time' aspects. For example, instead of saying you would spend 'as much time as it takes,' you could specify a weekly schedule or mention specific platforms or techniques you would use. Additionally, providing more concrete examples of what you would like to draw or how it specifically contrasts with programming would help create a more cohesive and fully developed answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The speaker struggles to maintain a flow of speech, evidenced by significant hesitation, self-correction, and fragmented sentences in the raw transcript. The connection between ideas is weak; for example, the transition from 'programming' to 'drawing' is confusing in the raw version. To improve, work on using cohesive devices (e.g., 'On the other hand,' 'Furthermore,' 'The reason why I am drawn to this is...') to link your ideas more logically. Practice speaking in longer, continuous chunks rather than short, disconnected bursts.

The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive (e.g., 'draw,' 'something,' 'good,' 'things'). There is a lack of precision; for instance, instead of saying 'it can help me to draw like comics,' you could say 'it would enable me to illustrate graphic novels' or 'develop my digital illustration skills.' To reach higher bands, try to use topic-specific vocabulary related to art (e.g., sketching, composition, medium, creative outlet) and avoid overusing vague words like 'things'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The grammatical structures are limited to simple sentences, and there are several errors in the raw transcript regarding sentence construction and word choice (e.g., 'I feel like I learned that there is completely different'). There is a lack of complex structures such as conditional sentences (e.g., 'If I had more time, I would...') or relative clauses. Focus on mastering basic tense consistency and practicing complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range to the examiner.
