Band 8+: What kind of places do you like to visit?

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

The answer is well-developed and directly addresses the question. It provides specific examples (Lake Louise, Alberta) and explains personal reasons for visiting such places, which demonstrates a natural and elaborated response. To achieve a perfect score, you could add a brief contrast or mention other types of places you enjoy, but the current response is already strong and natural.

The answer is well-organized and coherent, with a clear introduction of preferences followed by a specific example. The flow is natural, and there is no noticeable repetition or self-correction. To achieve a band 9, you could add a brief concluding sentence or a slight expansion to round off the response more fully.

You used a good range of vocabulary, including 'connect with nature,' 'feel relaxed and refreshed,' and 'routine schedule.' However, there is a minor error: 'different kind of places' should be 'different kinds of places.' Also, 'Lake Lewis' should be 'Lake Louise' (a proper noun). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'scenic spots' or 'natural landscapes,' and ensure accuracy with proper nouns.

The grammar is largely accurate, with correct use of past tense ('went,' 'helped') and a complex sentence structure. The only minor issue is the singular/plural agreement in 'different kind of places.' Overall, the range of structures is good, but you could enhance it by using more varied sentence openings or conditional structures to demonstrate greater flexibility.
