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

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

The answer directly addresses the question and provides relevant context regarding why the speaker does not spend much time outdoors. To improve the score, consider elaborating more on the specific activities performed outdoors during the weekends. For example, mentioning whether you go for walks, play sports, or visit a park would provide a more complete and well-developed response.

The answer is direct and follows a logical progression (stating a limitation then providing an alternative). However, it is quite brief. To improve your score, try to extend your answers by explaining *why* you don't go outside often or *what* activities you do with your friends outdoors. This will demonstrate a better ability to maintain a flow of speech.

The vocabulary is basic and functional but lacks precision. In the raw transcript, the phrase 'go to all sides' is an incorrect usage of an idiom/expression; the refined version 'go outside' is much better. To reach higher bands, use more descriptive vocabulary related to the outdoors, such as 'fresh air,' 'recreational activities,' or 'nature.' Instead of just 'old friends,' you could use 'childhood friends' or 'long-time companions.'

The grammar is mostly accurate, but the sentence structures are quite simple (Subject + Verb + Object). You used 'so' and 'however' correctly as cohesive devices. To improve, try using more complex structures, such as conditional sentences ('If I had more free time, I would...') or relative clauses ('...friends who I have known for years'). Also, note the prepositional error in the raw transcript: we say 'on the weekends' rather than 'in the weekends'.
