Band 6+: Do you ever use a dictionary?

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

The response is relevant to the question and provides a clear answer. However, expanding on the types of dictionaries used or how looking up words impacts the reading process would strengthen the response and demonstrate a more sophisticated command of the language.

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor issues with phrasing ('heavy-chated' instead of 'dedicated') and a slight stumble in the second sentence. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions and more natural sentence structures. Consider pausing briefly between sentences for better pacing.

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. The phrase 'heavy-chated' shows a lexical gap. While the answer conveys the meaning, using more precise and varied vocabulary would improve the score. Consider synonyms for 'very often' and 'dedicated'.

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors. 'I use dictionary very often' should be 'I use a dictionary very often'. The sentence 'Whenever I encountered new word...' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'Whenever I encountered a new word...' or 'Whenever I encounter a new word...'. Improving grammatical accuracy will significantly enhance the score.
