Band 6+: how old were you when you started school

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

The answer is relevant and coherent. Consider focusing more directly on the question by starting with your own experience and then expanding on the broader context of school starting ages in your country. This would make the response more concise and impactful.

The answer is understandable, but there are some minor issues with fluency. The phrasing 'When I was 6 years old, I went to school in the first time' is slightly awkward and could be improved to 'When I was 6, I went to school for the first time.' The shift to discussing other children's ages disrupts the flow slightly. Focus on a more linear and concise narrative.

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like 'formal education' are appropriate, but more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. Consider using synonyms for 'school' or 'started' to demonstrate a wider range.

There are grammatical errors, such as 'in the first time' and the slightly unclear pronoun reference in 'They were 6 or 5 years old because their parents wanted their children to start formal education.' The sentence structure is also somewhat simple. Improving grammatical accuracy and using more complex sentence structures would significantly improve the score.
