Band 5+: To what extent do you believe digital literacy should be integrated into primary school curriculums?

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 by providing reasons why digital literacy is beneficial, such as accessing materials and preparing for exams. However, the answer tends to focus on the practical benefits of using digital tools rather than fully addressing the 'extent' to which it should be integrated into the curriculum. To improve, try to expand on the necessity of this integration in a broader societal context - for example, discussing how it prepares children for a digital future or the potential risks that need to be managed. Additionally, ensure that the arguments remain general; while mentioning parents is acceptable, the focus should remain on the curriculum and the educational system rather than individual family support. Aim to develop your ideas more deeply by using more complex logical connections between your points.

The speaker attempts to use cohesive devices such as 'Also', 'In addition', and 'So'. However, the logical flow is interrupted by a significant error in the final sentence. The use of 'prohibit' (which means to forbid) completely contradicts the intended meaning of the argument, which confuses the coherence of the entire response. To improve, ensure that your concluding thought logically follows your premises. Work on using more sophisticated linking phrases like 'Furthermore' or 'Consequently' to connect complex ideas.

There are several instances of word misuse and 'word salad' where the intended meaning is lost. For example, 'the utility' was used instead of 'digital literacy', and 'Digitalists' literacy' is not a standard term. Most critically, the word 'prohibit' was used when 'support' or 'facilitate' was clearly intended. This significantly impacts the precision of your message. To improve, focus on learning collocations (words that naturally go together) and ensure you understand the exact definition of a word before using it in a formal context.

The speaker uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors. Examples include 'can be helped them' (incorrect passive/active usage), 'access to a wide range' (redundant preposition), and 'parents can to prohibit' (incorrect infinitive usage). While the meaning is mostly recoverable, the density of errors prevents a higher score. To improve, practice subject-verb agreement and the correct use of modal verbs (e.g., 'can help' instead of 'can be helped').
