Band 7+: Do you use social media? If so, how much time do you spend on it each day?

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a specific timeframe, which is essential for this type of inquiry. The response is well-developed, as it goes beyond a simple duration by explaining the purpose of the social media usage (staying updated on politics and communicating with family). To maintain this level of performance, continue to provide specific details or examples to support your initial statements.

The answer is coherent and directly addresses the question. You provided a clear duration and specific reasons for using social media. However, there is some slight repetition of the phrase 'I usually spend'. To improve, try using cohesive devices or varying your sentence starters (e.g., 'On a typical day...' or 'Most of my time is spent...').

You used appropriate vocabulary such as 'recent updates' and 'politics in the nation'. To reach a higher band, avoid vague phrases like 'some kind of news' and replace them with more precise terms like 'current affairs' or 'breaking news'. Using more idiomatic expressions related to technology (e.g., 'mindlessly scrolling' or 'staying in the loop') would also boost your score.

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are structural errors in the raw transcript. Specifically, 'to scroll some kind of news' should be 'scrolling through news', and 'spending some time with chatting' is redundant. You should aim for more complex sentence structures, such as using relative clauses or participial phrases, to demonstrate a wider range of control.
