Band 5+: How much walking do you do in your daily life?

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

The answer directly addresses the question, but the content is highly unrealistic, which affects the naturalness of the response. In an IELTS Speaking exam, while you are not tested on truthfulness, the information provided should be plausible to maintain a natural flow of conversation. To improve, aim to provide realistic figures and elaborate on the context, such as whether you walk to work, for exercise, or if you rely more on public transport.

The answer is direct and answers the question, but it lacks development. To improve your score, you should expand on your answers using connectors (e.g., 'Actually,' 'To be honest,' 'On top of that') and provide more context. The response is too brief for a high-band score.

The vocabulary used is very basic ('walk', 'go', 'other city'). Additionally, there is a significant issue with 'lexical precision' regarding the content: walking 100km or 1500km daily is physically impossible for a human, which makes the response sound illogical to an examiner. Even if you meant 'steps,' using the wrong unit of measurement affects your ability to convey precise meaning. Try to use more descriptive words like 'commute,' 'stroll,' 'pedestrian,' or 'distance'.

The sentence structure is a simple compound sentence. While it is grammatically understandable, it lacks the complexity required for higher bands. You should attempt to use complex structures, such as relative clauses (e.g., 'which is quite a lot') or conditional sentences (e.g., 'If I have time, I tend to walk more'). Also, note the pluralization error in the raw transcript ('other city' should be 'other cities').
