Band 5+: What do you want to do when you leave school?

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 by stating what the speaker wants to do after school (attend a prestigious university, join a volleyball team, make friends) and provides some reasons (make parents proud, maintain social life). However, the answer could be more directly focused on post-school plans and include clearer explanations for each choice. The mention of 'Let's start the question' is unnecessary and detracts from a natural response. To improve, consider structuring the answer to first directly state the main goal, then elaborate on why it is important, and avoid meta-commentary. Adding specific details about the university or the benefits of joining a sports team would enhance the response.

The answer is somewhat fluent but has noticeable repetition (e.g., 'However' used twice, 'I also' repeated) and self-correction ('I don't have my studies to affect my social life' corrected to 'I don't want my studies to affect my social life'). The response is coherent but lacks smooth transitions and could be better organized. To improve, practice using a variety of linking words and avoid repeating the same phrases. Also, ensure that ideas flow logically without unnecessary pauses or corrections.

Vocabulary is basic and repetitive (e.g., 'make', 'like', 'enter' used multiple times). There is some attempt at topic-specific words like 'prestigious university' and 'lifelong friendships', but overall range is limited. To improve, expand your vocabulary with synonyms and more precise expressions. For example, instead of 'make my parents proud', you could say 'bring pride to my parents' or 'fulfill my parents' expectations'. Also, avoid overusing 'like' and vary your word choice. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are several grammatical errors: 'I first make my parents proud' should be 'I want to make my parents proud' or 'I will make my parents proud'; 'I don't have my studies to affect' is incorrect and was corrected to 'I don't want my studies to affect'; 'I most likely like to enter' is awkward and should be 'I would most likely like to join'. Sentence structures are simple and repetitive. To improve, practice using a wider range of tenses and complex sentences. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and modal verbs. For example, use 'would like to' instead of 'like to' for polite intentions, and ensure verbs match their subjects.
