Band 6+: Did you walk more when you were at school?

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear comparison between past and present walking habits. It includes relevant details about the distance to school and university, which supports the response. However, the phrasing is somewhat repetitive and could be more concise. To improve, consider varying sentence structures and avoiding redundancy, such as restating the main point multiple times. Additionally, using more natural linking phrases and a slightly more sophisticated vocabulary would enhance the response.

The answer is coherent and logically organized, with a clear comparison between past and present. However, there are some hesitations and repetitions (e.g., 'that's why' used twice, 'walk more' repeated) and a minor self-correction ('honestly say' instead of 'honestly'). To improve, reduce repetition and use more varied linking words (e.g., 'therefore', 'as a result').

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic, with words like 'far from', 'beside', and 'reason'. However, there is limited range and some imprecise phrasing (e.g., 'I work more than now' instead of 'I walked more than now'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'a considerable distance', 'in close proximity', 'commute'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The grammar is mostly accurate, with correct use of past tense ('was', 'had to') and present tense ('is', 'don't walk'). However, there are a few errors: 'when I was kid' (missing article), 'I have to go' (should be 'had to' for past), and 'I didn't walk more' (should be 'don't walk as much'). To improve, ensure consistent tense usage and correct article usage.
