Band 5+: How has the concept of 'privacy' evolved with the rise of social media algorithms?

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

The response addresses the topic of privacy and social media but fails to fully answer the specific question regarding how algorithms have caused the concept of privacy to evolve. While the answer mentions that people share more personal content online, it does not explain the relationship between algorithmic data collection and the changing perception of privacy. Furthermore, the final point regarding a specific security app is irrelevant to the general discussion and deviates from the required academic tone. To improve, focus on explaining the mechanism of algorithms - such as how they track user behavior to predict preferences - and how this constant surveillance changes what society considers 'private.' Ensure that all examples support the central argument rather than introducing unrelated specific brands or products.

The speaker attempts to use cohesive devices such as 'First of all', 'In other words', and 'For example', which helps the structure. However, the coherence suffers because the ideas do not always follow a logical progression. The final point regarding the 'KB Security app' feels disconnected from the core argument about the evolution of privacy. To improve, ensure that every sentence directly supports your central thesis and avoid jumping to specific, unrelated examples at the end of an answer.

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'a lot of' multiple times). There are also instances of word form errors, such as 'users were more privacy' instead of 'users were more private'. To reach a higher band, you need to use more precise academic or topical vocabulary. Instead of 'a significant change', try 'a paradigm shift'; instead of 'immense role', try 'pivotal role' or 'profound impact'.

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede meaning. Issues include missing articles ('definition of privacy' should be 'the definition of privacy'), incorrect verb forms ('social media influence has an immense role' should be 'plays'), and awkward phrasing ('in last years'). You are mostly using simple sentence structures. To improve, practice using complex sentences with subordinate clauses (e.g., 'While privacy was once a fundamental right, the advent of social media has blurred these boundaries...') to demonstrate range.
