Band 5+: Do you collect anything?

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear reason for the interest, which shows good task response. To improve the score and reach a higher band, consider expanding on the answer. For example, you could mention how long you have been collecting coins, what kind of coins you have, or how you acquire them. Additionally, the phrase 'Yes, exactly' is slightly unnatural in this context; 'Yes, I do' or 'Actually, yes' would be more appropriate for a direct question of this type. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer is very brief. While you answered the question directly, a Band 7+ candidate would expand on this by mentioning how long you have been collecting or what specific types of coins you look for. The use of 'exactly' at the beginning is slightly unnatural in this context; 'Yes, definitely' or 'Yes, absolutely' would be more appropriate cohesive devices.

You attempted to use higher-level concepts like 'historical moments' and 'achievements,' which is good. However, the phrase 'give emotions' is quite basic and imprecise. To improve, use more sophisticated collocations such as 'evoke a sense of nostalgia,' 'connect me to the past,' or 'hold significant historical value.'

There are several grammatical errors that affect the quality of the response. You said 'I really into it to collect,' which lacks the auxiliary verb 'am' (I am really into...) and uses an incorrect infinitive structure. Additionally, 'it really give' should be 'they really give' (to agree with 'coins') or 'it really gives' (if referring to the hobby). Work on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of the verb 'to be' with adjective phrases.
