Band 7+: have you ever had a pet?

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

The response directly answers the question and provides a clear explanation for not having a pet. The reasons are well-articulated and relevant, demonstrating a good command of English.

The answer is generally coherent, but there are several pauses and hesitations ('uh') that disrupt the flow. Try to minimize filler words and speak more smoothly. Practice speaking on common topics to improve fluency.

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. The phrase 'domestic animals' is appropriate. Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to pets and responsibilities. For example, instead of 'big responsibility,' you could say 'significant commitment' or 'considerable undertaking.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'my parents are saying to me' (better: 'my parents have told me') and 'by theirselves' (better: 'themselves'). The sentence structure is relatively simple. Work on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in verb tenses and pronoun usage.
