Band 7+: Do you prefer to save or spend money

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

This is an excellent response. You've clearly addressed the question, providing a balanced perspective on saving and spending. The explanation of your reasoning is well-developed and natural. Consider adding a brief example to further illustrate your point about spending on things that bring you happiness.

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speaker expresses their preference clearly and provides justification. Minor repetition ('and' at the beginning of a few clauses) could be avoided for improved fluency. The slight stumble in the middle section ('And if I spend money to earn too much in one go') could be rephrased for better clarity and flow.

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'security,' 'prepare for the future,' and 'budget' demonstrate a good range. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to enhance the response. For example, instead of 'things that make me happy,' the speaker could use 'experiences that enrich my life' or 'pursuits that bring me joy'.

The grammar is mostly accurate with a good range of structures. The sentence 'And if I spend money to earn too much in one go' is grammatically incorrect and needs rephrasing. Minor improvements in sentence structure could enhance the overall grammatical accuracy. The use of subordinate clauses ('because it gives me a sense of security') demonstrates good grammatical range.
