Band 4+: How often do you use social media?

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

The answer addresses the topic but does not directly answer the specific question regarding frequency (e.g., daily, occasionally, every few hours). While the mention of being on holiday provides some context, the response is quite brief. To improve, try to include frequency adverbs such as 'constantly,' 'once a day,' or 'every evening' to directly address the 'how often' aspect of the question. Elaborating on which platforms are used or what activities are performed during that time would also help in developing a more complete response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer is very brief and lacks development. While it directly addresses the question, it does not provide enough detail to demonstrate fluency. To improve, try to expand your answer by mentioning which platforms you use (e.g., Instagram, TikTok) or what you specifically do on them. Use cohesive devices like 'specifically' or 'for instance' to link your ideas.

The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive (using 'free time' twice). To reach a higher band, you should aim for more varied vocabulary. Instead of 'use social media,' you could say 'scroll through my feeds' or 'engage with content.' Instead of 'free time,' you could use 'leisure time' or 'spare moments.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are significant grammatical errors in the raw transcript, specifically missing prepositions ('use social media [in] my free time') and incorrect phrasing ('I'm holiday now' instead of 'I am on holiday'). To improve, focus on mastering prepositional phrases and sentence structures that allow you to express cause and effect more naturally.
