Band 6+: How much time do you spend outdoors every day?

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

The answer is relevant and directly addresses the question by comparing current habits with past behavior. The response is well-developed, providing context about why the speaker's habits have changed and under what circumstances they do go outside. To reach a higher level of precision, ensure that the transition between childhood habits and current preferences is slightly more concise to keep the focus on the 'every day' aspect of the question. Additionally, using more specific time descriptors (e.g., 'a few hours' or 'hardly any time') would provide a more direct answer to the 'how much' part of the prompt.

The answer is somewhat coherent but suffers from a lack of logical structure and cohesive devices. The speaker uses 'but' and 'so' repeatedly to connect ideas, which creates a run-on sentence effect. To improve, use a wider variety of discourse markers (e.g., 'However,' 'On the other hand,' 'Consequently') and ensure you pause between distinct ideas rather than stringing them together into one long thought.

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'go outside' and 'spend time' multiple times). There were also some word choice errors in the raw transcript, such as 'as going off' (likely meaning 'as I grew up') and 'those movement' (instead of 'those moments'). To reach a higher band, try to use synonyms like 'leisurely strolls,' 'fresh air,' 'outdoor pursuits,' or 'recreational activities.'

The speaker relies heavily on simple sentence structures and struggles with complex sentence construction. There are issues with tense consistency and subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'family members called me and asked me' when speaking about a general habit). Work on using relative clauses (e.g., 'which is why...') and ensuring that when you describe a current habit, you consistently use the present simple tense.
