Band 7+: Topic 1: Text messages (September -December 2025) Do you reply to messages as soon as you receive them?

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 directly and provides a clear answer with supporting details. The explanation is relevant and offers context. To further enhance the response, consider varying sentence structures and vocabulary to demonstrate a wider range of language skills.

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ('messages. messages.'). Using discourse markers like 'furthermore' is good, but the overall flow could be smoother. Try to avoid repeating words and phrases unnecessarily. Practice speaking more continuously without pausing or repeating words.

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like 'immediately' and 'obliged' are used correctly. To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to communication and time management. For example, instead of 'answer messages immediately,' you could say 'respond promptly' or 'address messages without delay.'

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors ('when I saw them' should be 'when I see them'). The sentence structure is relatively simple. To improve, aim for more complex sentence structures and ensure consistent tense usage. For example, you could combine sentences using relative clauses or participial phrases.
