Band 6+: How do you keep in touch with your friends?

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

The answer is somewhat off-topic as it focuses more on past negative experiences with friends rather than directly addressing how you keep in touch. It does eventually mention one friend but lacks specific methods of communication (e.g., phone calls, messaging, meeting in person). To improve, directly answer the question by describing the ways you maintain contact, and then you can briefly mention your past experiences as context. Also, the phrase 'gossip sisters' may be informal; consider using more neutral language.

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow, with a clear structure: an initial reaction, a brief background, and a current situation. However, there are some hesitations and self-corrections (e.g., 'if I talk about myself, I never really had very much great experiences' and 'when I grow up' instead of 'as I've grown up'). The response could be more concise and directly address the question of 'how' you keep in touch, rather than spending most of the time on background. To improve, focus on providing specific methods (e.g., 'we call each other weekly' or 'we use social media') and reduce unnecessary fillers.

The vocabulary is adequate and includes some informal, idiomatic expressions like 'call homie' and 'gossip sisters,' which add a personal touch. However, there is some imprecision (e.g., 'very much great experiences' should be 'very great experiences') and repetition (e.g., 'share everything' used twice). To achieve a higher score, use more varied and precise vocabulary, such as 'maintain a close bond,' 'stay connected,' or 'confide in each other.'

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a mix of past and present tenses used appropriately. However, there are a few errors: 'I never really had very much great experiences' (incorrect quantifier) and 'when I grow up' (should be 'as I've grown up' or 'now that I'm older'). The sentence 'every friend I had, was never a real friend' is slightly awkward but understandable. To improve, work on using a wider range of structures, such as conditional sentences or relative clauses, and ensure consistent tense usage.
