Band 6+: how easy is it to find a place to leave in your country

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 well-structured comparison between urban and rural living environments. The explanation regarding the causes of housing difficulty, such as rising costs, is relevant and well-developed. To reach a higher band, avoid concluding with phrases like 'That's all,' as this is more suited to a presentation than a natural conversation. Additionally, while the mention of students is a good way to illustrate a general trend, ensure the focus remains on broad societal patterns rather than shifting too closely into personal anecdotes to maintain the required level of abstraction for Part 3.

The speaker demonstrates a logical progression of ideas, moving from a general statement to specific reasons and examples. However, the coherence is hindered by some repetitive phrasing ('cities cities') and a somewhat abrupt ending ('That's all'). In Part 3, you should aim to extend your answers more deeply rather than concluding with a summary phrase. Try using more sophisticated linking words like 'consequently,' 'furthermore,' or 'on the other hand' to connect your ideas more smoothly.

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the topic (e.g., 'housing prices,' 'living expenses,' 'significantly'), but it remains somewhat basic. There were also some word choice errors in the raw transcript, such as 'find recommendation to leave' instead of 'find a place to live.' To reach a higher band, try to use more precise collocations and less common lexical items, such as 'soaring property prices,' 'exorbitant rents,' or 'urban sprawl.'

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the flow. For instance, 'find place to live' (missing article), 'prices in the rent' (incorrect preposition), and 'struggle to afford their own homes to live' (redundant). The sentence 'We help them save money while studying or studying their own current' is grammatically fractured and unclear. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, the correct use of articles, and practicing complex sentence structures like relative clauses (e.g., 'which allows them to...') to avoid simple, repetitive sentence patterns.
