Band 7+: Do you like animal

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

The answer is highly effective as it directly addresses the question and provides relevant supporting details. The response goes beyond a simple 'yes' by explaining the reasons for the preference, such as the interest in observing them and the emotional benefits they provide. To maintain this level of performance, continue to use personal anecdotes or specific examples to expand your answers naturally.

The speaker provides a direct and relevant answer with a good flow. There is a natural progression from a general statement to a specific reason. To reach a higher band, work on using more sophisticated cohesive devices and avoid minor hesitations or fillers that might occur in spontaneous speech. The connection between 'stress' and 'mood' is clear, which helps coherence.

The vocabulary used is appropriate and functional (e.g., 'uplifts my mood', 'interesting to watch'). However, it is somewhat basic. To improve, try to use more precise or idiomatic language. Instead of 'really interesting', you could use 'fascinating' or 'captivating'. Instead of 'funny video', you could use 'hilarious clips'.

There are several grammatical errors in the raw transcript that affect the score. Specifically, the use of 'when I was a kid' instead of 'since I was a kid' (tense/aspect error), 'fell stressed' instead of 'feel stressed', and 'video cat' instead of 'cat video'. While the meaning is clear, these errors prevent a higher score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of prepositions and word order.
