Band 5+: How do most people find out about the news in your country?

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

The response addresses the core of the topic by identifying social media, radio, and television as news sources in Nigeria. However, the answer is somewhat brief and lacks the depth required for a higher score. To improve, try to expand on the 'how' and 'why' - for example, explain why social media is more popular than traditional media or provide a specific example of a news event that was widely shared online. Including more personal observations or specific details about how different age groups consume news would help in providing a more fully developed response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The speaker maintains a steady flow, but the coherence is somewhat limited by the repetitive use of the word 'Now' to start sentences. While the answer is direct, it is quite brief for a Part 2 task (which usually requires a 1-2 minute monologue). To improve, use a wider variety of discourse markers (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to this,' 'On the other hand') and expand on the 'why' or 'how' to extend your speaking time.

The vocabulary is appropriate and functional, using terms like 'developing country' and 'social media outlets.' However, the phrasing 'hooked up on' is slightly unnatural; 'hooked on' or 'addicted to' would be more precise. To reach higher bands, try to use more sophisticated collocations, such as 'the proliferation of digital platforms' or 'traditional media outlets like radio and television.'

The grammar is generally accurate, but the sentence structures are quite simple and repetitive (Subject + Verb + Object). There is a slight error in the phrase 'ways to which news develops,' which should be 'ways in which news is disseminated/spread.' To improve, try incorporating complex structures such as relative clauses, conditional sentences, or passive voice (e.g., 'News is predominantly consumed via social media...').
