Band 4+: Do you enjoy traveling to new places or staying in familiar surroundings?

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

The answer addresses both parts of the question, which shows a good attempt to provide a balanced response. However, the response is somewhat contradictory and lacks clarity in the final sentence. The connection between 'familiar places' and 'the new city' is confusing, which affects the coherence of the argument. To improve, try to clearly distinguish between the excitement of new experiences and the comfort of familiarity, ensuring that your concluding thoughts logically support your preference.

The response is quite fragmented and lacks logical flow. There is significant hesitation and repetition of ideas. To improve, you should use cohesive devices (like 'On the other hand' or 'However') to connect your preference for new cities with your preference for familiar places. Aim to expand your answer by explaining *why* you like both, rather than just stating them.

The vocabulary is very limited and repetitive. The raw transcript shows significant errors in word choice (e.g., 'new bless' instead of 'new places' and 'family bless' instead of 'familiar places'). To reach a higher band, try to use synonyms for 'place' (such as 'destinations', 'locations', or 'spots') and 'love' (such as 'I am passionate about' or 'I am fond of').

There are several grammatical inaccuracies, particularly in sentence structure and preposition usage (e.g., 'reminds me the memory' should be 'reminds me of the memories'). The sentence construction is simple and lacks the complexity required for higher bands. Work on using relative clauses (e.g., 'places that hold special meaning for me') to increase your grammatical range.
