Band 7+: How do you think the increasing reliance on online communication affects interpersonal relationships in the long term?

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

The response addresses the question directly and provides a balanced perspective on the effects of online communication on interpersonal relationships. The points are relevant, but could benefit from further elaboration to fully explore the long-term implications. Consider expanding on the potential social and emotional consequences of reduced face-to-face interaction.

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow. The use of 'Well, I guess it has its ups and downs' is a good way to introduce the topic. However, the response could benefit from more developed ideas and examples to support the points made. Consider expanding on the 'ups and downs' mentioned to provide a more comprehensive answer. Also, try to avoid starting sentences with 'I think' too often; vary your sentence structure.

The vocabulary used is adequate for the topic, with terms like 'intonations,' 'meaning in communication,' 'face-to-face communication,' 'intentions,' and 'body language.' However, the lexical range could be broader and more precise. Try to incorporate more sophisticated vocabulary related to communication and interpersonal relationships. For example, instead of 'reduces the actual meaning,' you could say 'diminishes the nuances of communication.'

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'It also prevents us to hear the actual intonations' should be 'It also prevents us from hearing the actual intonations.' The use of 'a person's intentions' is better than 'the person intentions.' Overall, the grammatical structures are relatively simple. Try to incorporate more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
