Band 6+: What's your plan for the next stage of your life?

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

The response addresses the topic directly and outlines several relevant goals, such as academic advancement, language improvement, and personal development. To achieve a higher score, the answer should be expanded with more specific details and personal anecdotes. For instance, instead of mentioning 'subjects that interest me,' naming specific subjects would add depth. Additionally, providing concrete examples of the 'life skills' mentioned or explaining how specific interactions with family and friends have shaped these plans would help in meeting the requirement for a fully developed response with specific details. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The response is coherent and follows a logical progression, but it is quite brief for a Part 2 task. In a real exam, you are expected to speak for 1-2 minutes. To improve, you should expand on your points using the 'PPF' method (Past, Present, Future) or by providing specific examples. For instance, instead of just saying 'a good university,' name a specific field of study or a specific type of institution to add depth and length to your speech.

The vocabulary used is functional but quite basic (e.g., 'good university', 'beautiful life skill', 'make me more perfect'). In the raw transcript, the phrase 'beautiful life skill' is an unnatural collocation; 'valuable' or 'essential' would be much better. To reach higher bands, try to use more precise academic or idiomatic language, such as 'pursue higher education,' 'cultivate interpersonal skills,' or 'attain academic excellence.'

There are several grammatical inaccuracies in the raw transcript that affect the score. Specifically, 'learn about my family' (should be 'learn from') and 'make me more perfect' (which is logically and grammatically awkward). There are also issues with singular/plural agreement (e.g., 'subject that interests me' vs 'subjects that interest me'). Work on using complex sentence structures, such as conditional sentences ('If I manage to get into my dream university, I will...') to demonstrate a wider range of control.
