Band 5+: what do you do in the weekends

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

The answer addresses the topic but lacks specific details regarding what activities are actually performed. While the mention of 'helping people' and 'learning new things' provides a starting point, the response is somewhat vague. To improve, try to specify the nature of these activities - for example, mention if you volunteer online, participate in international forums, or take online courses. Providing concrete examples will make the response more natural and fully address the question.

The response is quite brief and lacks development. While the ideas are connected, the flow is interrupted by an incomplete thought in the raw transcript ('I am big fan of.'). To improve, you should use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'In addition to that') and expand on your answers by providing specific examples of *how* you help people or *what* new things you learn.

The vocabulary used is very basic (e.g., 'changed a lot', 'helping people', 'new things'). To reach a higher band, you need to use more precise and less common lexical items. Instead of 'helping people', you could say 'volunteering for international causes' or 'contributing to global communities'. Instead of 'new things', try 'acquiring new skills' or 'broadening my horizons'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are grammatical issues regarding article usage ('I am big fan of' should be 'I am **a** big fan of') and tense consistency. You started with 'My routine changed' (past tense), but the rest of the answer is in the present tense. Since the question asks about your current habits, you should use the present simple: 'My routine **has changed**' or 'My routine **is** different now'. Aim to use a mix of complex sentence structures to increase your score.
