Band 7+: Why did you choose your job?

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear, logical reason for the choice of profession. The connection between the field of study and the current job is well-established. To reach a higher level of development, you could expand on why being an English teacher was specifically your 'dream job' or mention what aspects of the profession you find most fulfilling. This would add more depth to the response.

You were able to answer the question directly and provide a logical reason. However, the self-correction ('Oh sorry, I mean...') disrupts the flow of speech. While self-correction is natural in real conversation, in an IELTS exam, you should aim to minimize it to maintain fluency. To improve, try to pause slightly before committing to a complex phrase to ensure accuracy the first time.

You used appropriate terminology related to your field, such as 'college major' and 'English language teacher education.' To reach a higher band, try to expand your vocabulary beyond simple cause-and-effect phrases like 'As a result.' You could use more sophisticated transitions like 'Consequently,' 'This naturally led me to...' or 'Given my academic background...'

Your grammar was largely accurate, and you correctly used the past tense to describe your studies. The sentence structures were relatively simple. To achieve a higher score, try to incorporate more complex sentence structures, such as relative clauses (e.g., 'I studied English language teacher education, which is a field I have always been passionate about').
