Band 4+: What do you think of people using their mobile phones during a meal?

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

The response addresses the question and provides several reasons why using mobile phones during meals is viewed negatively. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited. To improve, try to expand on the social implications more deeply - for example, by discussing how it affects social cohesion or the quality of interpersonal relationships. Additionally, the point regarding the effect on the stomach or the taste of food is mentioned but not explained; providing a brief logical link (such as the lack of mindfulness or distraction from sensory experiences) would strengthen the argument. Aim to use more varied vocabulary to avoid repeating phrases like 'not good' and instead use terms such as 'detrimental,' 'distracting,' or 'counterproductive.'

The fluency is significantly hindered by frequent repetitions ('not good, not good'), hesitations, and self-corrections. The coherence is weak because the ideas are fragmented, making it difficult for the listener to follow the logical progression of your argument. To improve, practice using cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'In addition', 'Consequently') and try to complete a full thought before moving to the next one. Avoid repeating the same phrase multiple times while you are thinking.

The vocabulary used is very limited and often inaccurate, which leads to a breakdown in communication (e.g., 'the air not so very lighted', 'tusks in the food', 'sold not for wood'). While the refined answer clarifies the intent, the raw performance shows a struggle to find the right words to express complex ideas like 'atmosphere' or 'social interaction'. You should focus on learning collocations related to social behavior and dining, such as 'social etiquette', 'distraction', and 'meaningful conversation'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are significant grammatical errors throughout the response. Sentence structures are often incomplete or broken, and there is a lack of control over subject-verb agreement and word order. For example, 'the mobile phone is not for good in the meal' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, work on basic sentence structures (Subject + Verb + Object) and practice using complex sentences with subordinating conjunctions like 'because', 'although', and 'since' to connect your ideas more accurately.
