Band 6+: What kinds of home are most popular in your country?

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

The answer addresses the question by categorizing housing types based on location (rural vs. urban), which is a good way to provide a structured response. However, there is a slight logical inconsistency in the first example: terrace houses are typically characterized by shared walls and limited outdoor space, which may contradict the claim that they are chosen for 'freedom and privacy' compared to other housing types. To improve, ensure that the justifications provided for each housing type align logically with the characteristics of those homes. Additionally, while the answer is good, expanding on the 'why' behind the popularity of rural housing or mentioning other types like detached houses could lead to a more comprehensive response.

The answer is logically organized and uses basic cohesive devices like 'For example', 'In contrast', and 'For some reason'. However, the flow is slightly interrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. To improve, try to use more sophisticated linking phrases (e.g., 'This is largely due to...' or 'From a practical standpoint...') to connect your ideas more smoothly.

There is a significant error in word choice: 'square leaf' instead of 'square footage'. This is a major lexical slip that affects clarity. While you used appropriate terms like 'terrace houses' and 'affordable', the vocabulary is somewhat repetitive (using 'want to live' and 'apartment' multiple times). Aim to use synonyms, such as 'residential complexes', 'dwellings', or 'proximity to amenities' to demonstrate a wider range.

There are several errors in noun number and article usage (e.g., 'in rural area' should be 'in rural areas', 'apartment is a popular house' should be 'apartments are popular', and 'nearby their workplace' should be 'near their workplace'). You rely mostly on simple sentence structures. To reach a higher band, practice using complex structures such as relative clauses (e.g., 'Apartments, which are often located in central hubs, are preferred by...') and conditional sentences.
