Band 6+: Do you think technology has improved our lives?

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a balanced perspective by mentioning both positive and negative aspects. To reach a higher level of development, you could provide a more personal connection to the question. Since the question asks if technology has changed 'your' life, incorporating a brief personal anecdote or a specific way it has altered your own daily routine would make the response more direct and engaging.

The answer is relatively coherent and follows a logical structure (stating a dual perspective and providing examples). However, the flow is slightly interrupted by the grammatical struggle in the middle of the sentence ('why the spread expansion...'). To improve, work on using cohesive devices more naturally to link contrasting ideas, such as 'On one hand... on the other hand' or 'While it has drawbacks, it also offers benefits.'

You used some good topic-specific vocabulary like 'sedentary' and 'AI platforms.' However, there were errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'spread expansion' (redundant) and 'make more wise decisions' (should be 'make wiser decisions'). Aim to use more precise collocations and avoid redundancy to reach higher bands.

There is a significant grammatical error in the raw transcript: 'why the spread expansion... make our lifestyle'. The use of 'why' here is ungrammatical in this context, and there is a subject-verb agreement issue ('expansion... make' should be 'expansion... makes'). While you attempted a complex sentence structure, the errors impede clarity. Focus on mastering complex sentence structures (subordinate clauses) to ensure they are grammatically sound.
