Band 7+: do you think adverts have a big impact on what people buy

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

The answer stays on topic and addresses the question directly, providing a clear opinion with relevant examples about online advertisements and influencer impact. To improve, consider developing the response further by discussing the general impact on consumer behavior, contrasting different types of adverts, or exploring potential limitations. Additionally, avoid focusing solely on personal or anecdotal observations; aim for a more balanced, general analysis.

The answer is coherent and directly addresses the question. The ideas flow logically from a general statement to a specific example. However, the response is quite short and could benefit from a more developed structure, such as an introduction, a main point with elaboration, and a conclusion. To improve, consider adding a sentence to explain why adverts are impactful (e.g., psychological triggers) or a contrasting view to show balance.

The vocabulary is appropriate but limited. Words like 'attractive' and 'recommended' are simple. To achieve a higher score, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'persuasive,' 'targeted,' 'influential,' or 'impulsive purchases.' The phrase 'even if they didn't plan to' is good but could be enhanced with terms like 'unplanned or impulse buys.'

The grammar is accurate with no errors. The answer uses a mix of simple and complex structures (e.g., 'If an advert is attractive... people are more likely to buy'). However, the range is narrow. To improve, incorporate more varied sentence structures, such as conditional sentences (e.g., 'Had the advert been less appealing, they might not have purchased it') or relative clauses (e.g., 'Adverts, which are often tailored to individual preferences, can significantly influence buying decisions').
