Band 4+: Do you like using Social media ?

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

The answer directly addresses the question and provides specific examples of platforms used and the purposes for using them. To improve the score and reach a higher band, aim to expand more on the 'why' behind your preferences. For instance, you could explain why Instagram is more useful for your work or homework compared to other platforms, or elaborate on how watching a film while browsing enhances your experience. Additionally, ensure that the connection between activities is logical; explaining how social media assists with homework would add more depth to your response.

The response lacks coherence and logical progression. There is significant repetition (mentioning Instagram multiple times in a circular way) and the connection between using social media and 'watching a film in the background' is not clearly explained. To improve, use cohesive devices (e.g., 'In addition to that,' or 'Specifically,') to link your ideas, and avoid repeating the same word within a single sentence.

The vocabulary is very basic and repetitive. You used the word 'Instagram' and 'social media platform' multiple times without variation. To reach a higher band, try to use synonyms or related terms, such as 'digital networking sites,' 'social networking apps,' or 'content consumption.' Also, 'city fun' is an unnatural collocation; 'leisure activities' or 'entertainment' would be more appropriate.

The answer consists of a long, run-on sentence with poor structure. There is a lack of complex sentence structures, and the phrasing 'I typically use social media platform messages on Instagram, Instagram too' is grammatically incorrect and confusing. Work on using subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'because,' 'although,' 'while') to create complex sentences and ensure your subject-verb agreement is consistent.
