Band 6+: Talk about favourite actor

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

The response addresses the topic directly and provides relevant details regarding why the actor is admired. To improve the score, avoid using introductory phrases like 'Today I would like to talk about...', as this is more suitable for a Part 2 long turn rather than a Part 1 short answer. In Part 1, it is better to dive straight into the answer to maintain a natural conversational flow. Additionally, expanding on his filmography or specific acting styles could provide more depth to the response.

The speaker is able to maintain a flow of speech and the ideas are logically sequenced. However, the coherence is somewhat limited by the use of very short, repetitive sentence structures (e.g., 'He is... He is... He is...'). To improve, try using more complex cohesive devices and subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'Not only is he a famous actor, but he is also...') to link your ideas more smoothly.

The vocabulary is functional but quite basic and repetitive. There are some errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'well-famous' (which is incorrect; 'very famous' or 'renowned' is better) and 'I influence him' (the correct term is 'I am influenced by him' or 'I admire him'). To reach a higher band, aim for more precise adjectives and idiomatic expressions. Instead of 'poor people,' you could use 'underprivileged communities' or 'those in need'.

The speaker relies heavily on simple sentence structures. There are several grammatical errors that affect the precision of the message, such as subject-verb agreement ('who always try' should be 'who always tries') and preposition usage ('different among others' should be 'different from others'). Work on using a variety of complex structures, such as relative clauses and conditional sentences, to demonstrate a higher level of grammatical control.
