Band 6+: Is there a hobby you would like to try in the future?

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 and provides a clear contrast between current interests and future goals. To improve the score, ensure that vocabulary is used accurately; for example, the word 'brand' appears to be a malapropism for 'brain' or 'intellect'. Additionally, elaborating slightly more on why you are interested in chess would help demonstrate a higher level of development.

The answer is relatively fluent, but the connection between the current hobby and the future hobby could be smoother. You used 'however' correctly to transition, but the overall structure is a bit abrupt. To improve, try to explain *why* you want to switch from a physical team sport to a mental game like chess to create a more cohesive narrative.

There is a significant lexical error in the raw transcript: 'cheese' instead of 'chess'. While the refined version corrects this, in a real exam, mispronouncing or misusing a key word like this can significantly impact your score. Additionally, 'requires to have a brand' is an unnatural collocation; you likely meant 'requires a brain' or 'is a mental game'. Aim to use more precise collocations like 'intellectual pursuit' or 'strategic game'.

You attempted a complex conditional structure ('if I do have a chance I'd love to'), which is good. However, there are minor errors in the raw version, such as 'particularly I am playing' (which should be 'particularly volleyball' or 'specifically, I play'). Work on subject-verb agreement and the natural use of gerunds versus simple present tense when discussing habits.
