Band 4+: Describe a time when you had to solve a difficult problem at work or school. You should say: what the problem was how you discovered it what you did to solve it and explain how you felt after solving it You will have 1 minute to prepare and should speak for 1-2 minutes.

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

The response addresses the initial part of the prompt by identifying a problem, but it fails to meet the requirements for a full development of the topic. The answer is significantly underdeveloped and does not cover all the bullet points provided in the prompt, specifically the method used to solve the problem and the feelings experienced after the resolution. To improve, ensure that each part of the prompt is addressed in detail. Providing specific examples of the 'issues being raised' and describing the step-by-step process of how the clarification was achieved would help in providing a more complete response. Additionally, aim to speak for a longer duration by expanding on the personal impact and the outcome of the situation. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The response is extremely short and incomplete. You failed to address the majority of the prompts (how you discovered it, how you solved it, and how you felt). To improve, you must aim to speak for at least 1.5 to 2 minutes. Use cohesive devices like 'First of all,' 'Consequently,' and 'In the end' to link your ideas. Currently, the flow is interrupted by an abrupt ending.

You attempted to use some work-related vocabulary (e.g., 'misunderstanding', 'client', 'coworker'), but the vocabulary is very limited. The raw transcript shows significant phonetic errors (e.g., 'cluck into' instead of 'clocked into', 'micolings' which is unintelligible). To reach a higher band, try to use more precise collocations such as 'resolved a conflict,' 'mitigated the situation,' or 'rectified the error.'

The grammatical structures are very basic and contain errors in tense consistency. You shifted between past and present tense (e.g., 'I cluck... and then I receive'). Since you are describing a past event, you must maintain the past tense throughout (e.g., 'I clocked in and received'). Work on using complex sentences, such as relative clauses ('The emails, which were sent early in the morning, claimed that...').
