Band 7+: Do you think most people prefer to have a holiday abroad rather than in their own country?

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

The response addresses the question directly and provides a balanced perspective by considering different variables such as budget and infrastructure. The answer moves away from personal preference to discuss general human behavior, which is appropriate for Part 3. To reach a higher score, the response could be further developed by expanding on the 'abroad' aspect - for example, mentioning the cultural or experiential motivations that drive people to travel to other countries, rather than focusing primarily on why they might stay home. Additionally, ensuring the distinction between domestic and international travel remains the central focus throughout the explanation would strengthen the coherence.

You demonstrated a good ability to develop your answer by presenting two contrasting sides of the argument. You used cohesive devices like 'So', 'But in contrast', and 'honestly' to guide the listener. However, there was some repetition of ideas and a slight lack of logical flow in the transition between the conditional 'if' clause and the result. To reach a higher band, avoid starting sentences with 'So' too frequently and work on using more sophisticated linking words such as 'consequently', 'on the other hand', or 'provided that'.

Your vocabulary is functional and allows you to convey your meaning clearly, but it is somewhat repetitive and lacks precision. You used the phrase 'qualified rest' and 'qualified staff' multiple times; in English, 'qualified' usually refers to professional certifications (like a doctor or lawyer). For tourism, it would be more natural to use terms like 'high-quality service', 'premium amenities', or 'top-tier facilities'. Instead of 'nice rest' or 'nice vacation', try 'relaxing getaway', 'leisurely break', or 'rejuvenating holiday'.

You successfully used conditional structures ('If... then...'), which is essential for Part 3. Your grammar is generally accurate, but there were some minor issues with sentence structure in the raw transcript (e.g., the fragment starting with 'So if the country...'). In the refined version, the logic is clearer. To improve, try to incorporate more complex structures such as passive voice ('...is offered by the country') or perfect tenses to add variety to your speech.
