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

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear, specific timeframe. The response is well-developed, as it goes beyond a simple numerical answer by explaining the purpose of social media use, the platforms used, and the student's personal attitude toward time management. To maintain this level, continue to provide these types of extensions - such as reasons, consequences, or examples - to ensure the response feels natural and complete.

You maintained a steady flow and answered the question directly. However, there was some repetition (e.g., 'to chat with my friends, to keep in catch with my friends') which slightly affects the coherence. To improve, try to use more varied cohesive devices and avoid repeating the same idea in the same sentence. Instead of repeating 'friends', you could say 'to stay connected with my social circle'.

Your vocabulary is functional but quite basic. You used common words like 'useful', 'relax', and 'damage'. There were also some errors in word choice/collocation in the raw transcript, such as 'starting time' (likely meaning study time) and 'keep in catch' (instead of 'keep in touch'). To reach a higher band, aim for more idiomatic expressions or precise vocabulary, such as 'scrolling through feeds', 'digital distraction', or 'maintaining social connections'.

You used a mix of simple and compound sentences, which is good. However, there were grammatical inaccuracies in the raw version, such as 'I mostly use the social media is...' and 'I'm trying to not spend...'. While the meaning was clear, these errors prevent a higher score. Work on sentence structure, specifically how you introduce lists and how you use infinitive phrases.
