Band 5+: What role should governments play in regulating the use of facial recognition technology in public spaces?

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

The answer stays on topic and expresses a clear opinion, but it lacks development and specific reasoning. To improve, provide concrete examples of the problems (e.g., privacy invasion, misuse of data, lack of consent) and consider addressing potential counterarguments. Also, aim for a more general discussion rather than personal agreement, and expand on the 'why' with logical explanations.

The answer is coherent and directly addresses the question, but it is incomplete and lacks development. The response ends abruptly, which disrupts fluency. There is no clear organization of ideas, and the use of cohesive devices is minimal. To improve, the candidate should provide a full response with a clear structure, including reasons, examples, and a conclusion. Avoid trailing off and ensure the answer is complete.

The vocabulary used is adequate but limited. Phrases like 'create a lot of problems' and 'consider it a simple thing' are somewhat repetitive and lack precision. The candidate could use more specific and varied vocabulary, such as 'privacy infringement,' 'surveillance concerns,' 'ethical implications,' or 'data protection.' To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and flexible word choice.

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are minor errors, such as 'agree to this idea' (should be 'agree with this idea') and 'technologies in the public spaces' (should be 'technology in public spaces'). The sentence structure is simple and repetitive. To improve, use a wider range of grammatical structures, such as conditionals, passive voice, and complex sentences, while maintaining accuracy.
