Band 5+: Do you prefer getting information from websites or books?

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

The answer addresses the topic of websites but fails to directly address the comparison requested in the question (websites vs. books). The response focuses heavily on specific examples of information types without explicitly stating a preference or contrasting websites with books. To improve, ensure that you directly answer the 'either/or' aspect of the question and provide a brief reason why one medium is preferred over the other before moving into specific examples.

The response lacks a clear direct answer to the question. The examiner asked for a preference between websites and books, but you immediately jumped into describing the content of websites without explicitly stating 'I prefer websites because...' There is also some repetition of ideas. To improve, use a clear opening statement to answer the question directly, then use your examples to support that preference. Work on using cohesive devices to link your preference to your examples more smoothly.

You used some interesting terms like 'acquire' and 'occupational competition,' which is good. However, the phrase 'colorful information' is slightly unnatural in this context; 'diverse,' 'engaging,' or 'vibrant' might be better, or perhaps you meant 'up-to-date.' The term 'Nautical Mobile Games' is quite specific and might need more context to be understood by a listener. Try to use a wider range of adjectives to describe why one medium is better than the other (e.g., 'instantaneous,' 'comprehensive,' or 'tangible').

The raw transcript shows significant grammatical fragmentation (e.g., 'websites and still do have...'). While the refined version corrects some of this, the original structure shows a struggle with sentence construction. There were issues with subject-verb agreement and relative clauses (e.g., 'a Japanese competitor joined' instead of 'who joined'). To reach a higher band, practice using complex sentence structures, such as conditional sentences ('If I want to find something quickly, I turn to websites...') and relative clauses to combine ideas.
