Band 6+: How do you usually celebrate your birthday?

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear explanation of how the speaker celebrates their birthday, including a contrast between past and present celebrations. The answer is well-organized and easy to follow. To further enhance the response, consider adding more descriptive details about the charity work or the specific reasons for choosing that form of celebration.

The response is generally understandable, but there are some pauses and hesitations that affect the flow. The ideas are presented, but the connection between them could be smoother. Try to use more cohesive devices to link your ideas together more effectively. For example, use words like 'therefore,' 'however,' or 'in addition' to create a clearer flow.

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it could be more varied and precise. The phrase 'give charity' is slightly unnatural; consider using 'donate to charity' instead. To improve, try to incorporate more specific and descriptive words related to celebrations and charitable activities.

There are some grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the response. For example, 'I used to celebrate about 8 or 9 years old' should be 'I used to celebrate when I was about 8 or 9 years old.' Also, 'give charity to the poor children and people' could be improved to 'donate to charity for poor children and people.' Focus on using correct prepositions and verb tenses to enhance accuracy.
