Band 6+: Why do people become toxic online?

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

The answer addresses the core of the question by identifying anonymity and a lack of consequences as drivers for toxic behavior. However, the response relies heavily on personal perspective ('For me personally'), whereas Part 3 questions require a more generalized, societal analysis. To improve, avoid using personal pronouns and instead focus on broader trends or psychological phenomena. For example, instead of saying 'I think people feel safe,' you could say, 'One primary reason is the sense of anonymity provided by the internet, which leads individuals to believe they can act without accountability.'

The answer is relevant and addresses the question directly. However, the coherence is slightly hindered by the repetitive structure ('they can... and they can...') and a lack of sophisticated cohesive devices. To improve, try using subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'due to the fact that', 'consequently') to link ideas rather than relying on 'and' to string clauses together.

The vocabulary used is functional but quite basic (e.g., 'feel some safety', 'text whatever they want', 'avoid punishment'). To reach a higher band, you should use more precise academic or topical terminology. Instead of 'feel some safety', you could use 'anonymity' or 'sense of impunity'. Instead of 'text whatever they want', you could use 'post inflammatory content' or 'engage in vitriolic discourse'.

The grammar is mostly accurate in terms of meaning, but the sentence structure is quite repetitive and lacks complexity. There was a slight error in the raw transcript ('won't feel face'), which was corrected in the refined version. To improve, practice using complex sentence structures such as relative clauses (e.g., 'which allows them to...') or conditional sentences to demonstrate a wider range of control.
