Band 6+: What do you think of people using their mobile phones during a meal?

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

The answer addresses the core of the question and provides relevant reasons for the opinion expressed. However, the response relies heavily on personal perspective ('Personally, I do not think...') rather than discussing the phenomenon in a general or societal context, which is a key requirement for Part 3. To improve, try to move away from 'I' and instead use more objective language, such as 'Many people believe...' or 'It is often observed that...'. Additionally, expanding on the broader implications of this behavior on social etiquette or modern culture would help achieve a higher level of development.

The answer is coherent and follows a logical progression. You state your opinion clearly and provide two distinct reasons to support it. However, to reach a higher band, you should use more sophisticated cohesive devices. Instead of starting sentences with 'Also,' try using 'Furthermore,' 'Moreover,' or 'In addition to this.' You could also expand on your points with more detailed examples to increase the length and flow of your response.

The vocabulary used is accurate and appropriate for the topic, but it is quite basic (e.g., 'good habit,' 'reduce communication,' 'focus on'). To improve, aim for more precise or idiomatic language. For example, instead of 'good habit,' you could say 'socially acceptable practice' or 'etiquette.' Instead of 'reduce communication,' you could use 'hinder meaningful interaction' or 'create a sense of detachment.' The repetition of 'food' in the raw transcript also suggests a need for more varied synonyms.

Your grammar is accurate, and your sentences are clear. You used a mix of simple and complex structures (e.g., 'I think meals should be a time to...'). To move toward a Band 8 or 9, you need to demonstrate a wider range of complex structures, such as conditional sentences ('If people were to put their phones away, they would...') or relative clauses ('...the food, which is often prepared with great care').
