Band 5+: Describe a time when you read or heard something that you thought was not true. You should say: where you read/heard this what you read/heard why you thought it was not true and explain how you felt about reading/hearing this thing that you thought was not true.

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

The answer addresses the topic by describing a time when the candidate heard something they thought was not true (a lecturer's claim that God does not exist). It includes where and what was heard, and explains why the candidate thought it was not true, referencing the Bible and creation. However, the response lacks depth and specific details. The candidate does not clearly explain how they felt about hearing the claim, which is a key part of the topic. Additionally, the answer is somewhat repetitive and could be more fully developed with personal experience and elaboration. To improve, the candidate should provide more specific examples or reasons for their disbelief, and explicitly describe their emotional reaction and any subsequent actions or reflections. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer is somewhat coherent and addresses the topic, but it lacks a clear structure. The response jumps between ideas without clear progression, and there is noticeable repetition and self-correction (e.g., 'to me that was not it was not through saying'). To improve, organize your answer with clear points: introduce the situation, describe the claim, explain why you doubted it, and conclude with your feelings. Use cohesive devices like 'firstly', 'moreover', 'as a result' to link ideas smoothly.

The vocabulary is adequate but limited. You use some good phrases like 'came with an argument' and 'it was evident', but there is repetition (e.g., 'God did not exist' and 'it was not the rule'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary. For example, instead of 'not the rule', say 'unconvincing' or 'lacked credibility'. Also, expand your range by using words like 'compelling evidence', 'philosophical argument', 'personal conviction', etc.

The grammar is mostly accurate but with some errors and awkward phrasing. For example, 'when I was in my third year at University of Florida, Kenya' should be 'at the University of Florida, Kenya' (missing article). Also, 'how the marvelous and the miracle things' is awkward; it should be 'how marvelous and miraculous the things were'. There is also a run-on sentence at the end. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use articles correctly. Also, avoid run-on sentences by breaking them into shorter, clearer ones.
