Band 6+: 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 specific details regarding the duration and the platforms used. To reach a higher level of development, you could elaborate on why you spend that much time on these apps or how you feel about your daily usage. Additionally, ensuring a clear distinction between 'surfing the internet' and 'social media' would make the response even more precise, as the question specifically asks about social media.

The answer is direct and answers the question immediately. However, it is quite brief for an IELTS Part 1 response. To improve your score, try to extend your answer by explaining *why* you spend so much time on these platforms or how you feel about it. Use cohesive devices like 'In addition to that' or 'On the other hand' to link your ideas more smoothly.

You used appropriate vocabulary related to the topic (surfing the internet, social media platforms). However, the vocabulary is quite basic. To reach a higher band, try using more idiomatic expressions or precise collocations, such as 'scrolling through my feed,' 'mindlessly browsing,' or 'staying connected with my peers.'

There are a few grammatical errors in the raw transcript. Specifically, 'spend... for surfing' should be 'spend... surfing' (spend + time + -ing), and 'the TikTok' is incorrect as we do not use articles before most proper names of apps. Additionally, 'check my works' should be 'check my work' (work is uncountable in this context). Aim to use a mix of complex sentence structures to demonstrate higher proficiency.
