Band 4+: Describe an unconventional hobby or activity that you would like to try in the future. You should say: - What the activity is - Why it is considered unconventional - What equipment or skills you would need And explain why you are interested in trying it.

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 activity is identified and the reasons for interest are mentioned, the explanation lacks depth and detail. To improve, try to expand on your ideas. For example, when discussing skills, you could mention hand coordination or reading sheet music. When discussing time, you could explain why you believe six to seven months is a realistic timeframe. Additionally, instead of repeating that you watched anime, you could describe the specific feeling or atmosphere of the music that inspired you to provide a more comprehensive answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The response is very short and lacks the development required for a Part 2 long turn. In the actual exam, you are expected to speak for 1-2 minutes. The coherence is limited because the ideas are presented in very brief, disconnected sentences. To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to this,' 'As a result') and expand on each bullet point with more detail. For example, instead of just saying how much time it takes, explain why you think that specific timeframe is sufficient.

The vocabulary is very basic and repetitive. There are also significant word choice errors in the raw transcript (e.g., 'planted' instead of 'planned', 'spirit' instead of 'inspired', and 'enemies' instead of 'anime'). While the refined version corrects these, the original range is insufficient for a higher band. To improve, try to use topic-specific vocabulary related to music, such as 'melodies,' 'composing,' 'dexterity,' or 'musical proficiency.' 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 subject-verb agreement and article usage (e.g., 'What skills are needed is to have a fingers'). There is a lack of complex sentence structures (subordinate clauses, relative clauses). To reach a higher band, you must attempt to use a variety of tenses and complex structures, such as: 'If I had more free time, I would dedicate it to practicing the piano daily.'
