Band 4+: Is it more important for a country to invest in space exploration or in solving immediate environmental issues on Earth?

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

The response addresses the core of the question but lacks the depth and complexity required for a higher band score in Part 3. While the candidate provides a clear opinion, the argument is somewhat one-dimensional, focusing solely on the necessity of migration rather than exploring the 'extent' or the tension between the two competing priorities. To improve, the candidate should attempt to discuss both sides of the argument - for example, acknowledging the urgency of environmental issues while explaining why space research might be a long-term solution. Additionally, the response should move away from a simple 'yes/no' structure and instead use more nuanced language to discuss societal implications. Aim to expand on the 'why' and 'how' to provide a more well-rounded, general analysis rather than a singular prediction.

The response is quite short and lacks the depth required for a Part 3 answer, which demands extended discourse. There is significant repetition of ideas and a lack of sophisticated cohesive devices. To improve, you should use more complex linking words (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'Consequently', 'On the other hand') and expand your arguments by providing specific examples or considering the opposing view to show a balanced perspective.

The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive (e.g., 'live in space', 'live earth'). There are also errors in word choice, such as 'make any politics' and 'make any measures', which are not natural collocations in English. Instead of 'make measures', use 'implement measures' or 'take action'. To reach higher bands, try to use topic-specific vocabulary like 'colonization', 'sustainability', 'mitigation', or 'extraterrestrial habitats'.

The grammatical structures are limited to simple sentences, and there are several errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the people feel difficult to live in us' is grammatically incorrect and confusing. You also struggle with prepositions (e.g., 'in us' instead of 'on Earth'). You need to practice using complex sentence structures, such as conditional sentences ('If global warming continues to accelerate, then...') and relative clauses, to demonstrate a higher level of proficiency.
