Band 5+: Do you think the pursuit of scientific advancement should always take precedence over environmental conservation?

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

The response addresses the core of the question and provides a clear position. The use of a specific example (nuclear power) helps to illustrate the potential conflict between scientific progress and environmental safety. However, to achieve a higher score, the answer should move away from a specific case study and instead discuss the topic in more general, abstract terms. For instance, instead of focusing solely on nuclear energy, the response could discuss the broader tension between industrial innovation and ecological preservation. Additionally, expanding on the 'why' - such as the long-term consequences for biodiversity or the ethical responsibility of scientists - would provide the depth required for a top-band response.

The speaker manages to convey a basic argument, but the coherence is hindered by repetitive structures and a lack of sophisticated cohesive devices. The connection between the example (nuclear power) and the final conclusion is somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more varied linking words such as 'consequently,' 'on the other hand,' or 'as a result' to guide the listener through your logic.

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive (e.g., repeating 'nuclear' and 'radiation' multiple times). There is also an attempt at higher-level vocabulary that fails, such as 'specimen,' which was used incorrectly in place of 'caution' or 'careful approach.' Aim to use synonyms; instead of repeating 'big radiation,' you could use 'hazardous radiation' or 'radioactive fallout.'

There are significant grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include 'should be came first' (incorrect modal usage), 'it can be harmed the environmental' (incorrect verb form and word class), and 'it can be make' (redundant auxiliary verb). You should focus on mastering subject-verb agreement and the correct use of modal verbs (e.g., 'it can harm' instead of 'it can be harmed').
