Band 4+: Should governments prioritize the preservation of traditional local dialects over the promotion of a global lingua franca?

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

The response addresses the question by choosing one side of the argument; however, the development of the ideas is limited. The answer relies heavily on vague reasoning, such as 'being more flexible' or 'focusing on new things,' without explaining how these concepts relate to the specific tension between preserving ancient languages and promoting global ones. To improve, avoid using personal or overly general justifications and instead provide concrete societal or economic reasons. For example, you could discuss how a global language facilitates international trade or how the loss of an ancient language results in the loss of cultural heritage. Additionally, ensure that the argument directly addresses both parts of the prompt to show a more nuanced understanding of the debate.

The speaker struggles with coherence due to significant repetition and self-correction (e.g., 'now generation and now generation'). There is a lack of logical progression and cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly. To improve, work on using transition words like 'Furthermore,' 'Consequently,' or 'On the other hand' to connect your arguments, and try to avoid repeating the same phrase multiple times while thinking of the next point.

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive (e.g., using 'new things' and 'global communication language' repeatedly). There is also an attempt to use words like 'flexible' and 'confidence,' which is good, but the phrasing is often inaccurate (e.g., 'make feel them confidence'). To reach a higher band, try to use more precise academic vocabulary such as 'linguistic diversity,' 'globalization,' 'intercultural communication,' or 'socio-economic integration.'

The grammatical structures are very basic and contain frequent errors that impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('government should be focused'), sentence fragments, and word order ('make feel them confidence'). You should focus on mastering basic sentence structures first, specifically how to use modal verbs (should, could, might) and how to correctly form object pronouns with verbs (e.g., 'make them feel confident' instead of 'make feel them confidence').
