Band 6+: How has communication changed in recent years?

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

The answer is well-developed, directly addresses the question, and provides a balanced view by discussing both the benefits and drawbacks of recent changes in communication. It stays on topic and uses a general perspective rather than personal anecdotes. To achieve a higher score, consider adding more specific examples or elaborating on the impact of these changes on society or different aspects of life, such as business or personal relationships. Additionally, ensure that the language is precise and varied, and that the response fully explores the question's scope.

The answer is generally coherent and well-organized, with a clear introduction of the positive aspects followed by a contrasting point. However, there are some issues with fluency, including a few hesitations and self-corrections (e.g., 'People cannot create interactions' should be 'can now create'). The use of cohesive devices like 'Nevertheless' is appropriate, but the flow could be smoother with more varied linking phrases. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and use a wider range of discourse markers to connect ideas.

The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the intended meaning, with some good choices such as 'geographical distance', 'maintain relationships', and 'collaborate internationally'. However, there are some inaccuracies and limited flexibility. For example, 'People cannot create interactions' is incorrect; it should be 'can now create'. Also, 'written message, black, both language and tone' is unclear and misused. To improve, expand your range of vocabulary related to communication and ensure precise word choice. Practice using synonyms and more sophisticated terms.

The answer demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and a contrastive connector. However, there are several grammatical errors that affect accuracy. For instance, 'This made it easier' should be 'This has made it easier' to maintain tense consistency. Also, 'people can rely too heavily' is missing a modal verb like 'may' or 'can' in the correct context, and 'written message, black, both language and tone' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. To improve, focus on tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and clarity in complex sentences. Practice using a variety of structures accurately.
