Band 4+: How has your hometown changed over the years

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

The answer is brief and somewhat unclear. Consider expanding on the types of shops, the impact of the new buildings on the town's character, and perhaps mentioning other changes beyond the increase in shops. More detail and descriptive language would improve the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer is quite short and lacks detail. Try to expand on your answer by providing specific examples of changes and explaining how these changes have impacted the town. Work on connecting your ideas more smoothly using cohesive devices like 'however,' 'in addition,' or 'furthermore'.

The vocabulary is basic. Try to use more precise and descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of the changes in your hometown. Instead of 'many shops,' you could say 'a proliferation of boutiques' or 'an influx of chain stores,' for example.

There is a grammatical error ('There are many shops and to come out here'). Focus on constructing grammatically correct sentences. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences and passive voice, to enhance your response.
