Band 6+: What are advantages of tourism?

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

The response addresses the question directly and provides two distinct advantages: economic stimulation and the improvement of local infrastructure/living standards. The ideas are well-developed with logical explanations. To reach a higher level of response, avoid repetition; the final sentence repeats the point about living standards without adding new information. Instead, the conclusion could be used to summarize the points or offer a broader perspective on the impact of tourism. Additionally, ensuring a wider range of vocabulary to describe economic benefits would enhance the depth of the answer.

The speaker demonstrates a ability to maintain a flow of speech and uses basic cohesive devices like 'one of them', 'as a result', and 'on top of that'. However, there is significant repetition of certain phrases (e.g., 'I believe that', 'boost the economy/economic growth', 'improve the living standards'). To reach a higher band, the speaker should avoid repeating the same sentence structures and instead use a wider variety of linking words and more concise ways to introduce ideas.

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the topic (e.g., 'boosts the economy', 'demand', 'local activities', 'living standards', 'facilities') but it is quite repetitive and lacks precision. The speaker relies heavily on common words. To improve, try using more sophisticated synonyms. For example, instead of 'boost the economy', you could say 'stimulate economic activity' or 'generate revenue'. Instead of 'a lot of people', try 'a surge of visitors' or 'a high volume of tourists'.

The speaker uses some complex structures (relative clauses), but there are noticeable grammatical errors that affect the precision of the message. For example, 'when there are a lot of people come to one place' is grammatically incorrect (it should be 'when a lot of people come' or 'when there are a lot of people coming'). There is also a fragmented structure in the second half: 'because when a place that is invested more and more...'. The speaker needs to work on subject-verb agreement and ensuring that subordinate clauses are completed correctly to form full, coherent sentences.
