Band 4+: What are the differences between learning skills on your own and from others?

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 but relies heavily on personal experience ('I already have...', 'for me...') rather than discussing the topic in a general or abstract sense, which is a requirement for Part 3. To improve, avoid using 'I' and instead use general subjects such as 'individuals,' 'learners,' or 'people.' Additionally, the answer could be more fully developed by expanding on the advantages of self-study (such as flexibility or pace) to provide a more balanced comparison with learning from others.

The response lacks logical flow and coherence. The speaker struggles to connect ideas, leading to a fragmented delivery. The use of cohesive devices is minimal or incorrect (e.g., 'It is because for me and everyone'). To improve, use more sophisticated linking words such as 'On the one hand,' 'In contrast,' or 'Furthermore' to structure the comparison between self-learning and learning from others.

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. There are significant errors in word choice and usage that impede meaning, such as 'find out my eras' (likely meaning 'errors') and 'free pair them' (likely meaning 'improve them'). To reach a higher band, you need to use more precise academic or topical vocabulary, such as 'self-taught,' 'mentorship,' 'guidance,' 'trial and error,' or 'expert feedback.'

The grammatical structures are basic and contain frequent errors that make the meaning difficult to follow. There are issues with sentence construction, verb tense, and word order (e.g., 'this skill I make decisions for learning are suitable for me'). You should focus on mastering complex sentence structures, such as conditional sentences ('If I learn on my own, I might...') and relative clauses ('Skills that are taught by experts...').
