Band 5+: Why do some people wear expensive watches?

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

The answer addresses the question and provides two distinct reasons: status/attention and personal confidence. However, the response is somewhat brief and could benefit from further development. To improve, try to expand on your points with examples or more detailed explanations. For instance, you could explain how a luxury item might boost a person's self-esteem in a professional setting. Additionally, avoid using 'So that's why' as a concluding phrase, as it can sound slightly unnatural in a formal speaking assessment; instead, try to let your explanation conclude naturally or use a more sophisticated transition.

The answer is quite short and lacks development. While you used cohesive devices like 'In my opinion', 'On top of that', and 'So that's why', the overall flow is interrupted by grammatical confusion. To improve, try to expand your answers by providing examples or explaining the 'why' behind your points more deeply. Avoid ending with 'So that's why', as it is a very weak way to conclude a spoken response; instead, try to summarize your point more naturally.

You attempted to use some good phrases like 'firmly believe' and 'attract attention'. However, there was a significant error in word choice/usage: 'watch this to show her other status' is confusing and does not convey the intended meaning clearly. You should focus on collocations related to luxury, such as 'status symbol', 'conspicuous consumption', or 'prestige'. Also, ensure you use the correct noun ('watches') rather than the verb ('watch').

There are several grammatical issues that hinder communication. You used 'her' (singular feminine) when referring to 'people' (plural), and 'proud themselves' instead of the correct prepositional phrase 'proud of themselves'. The sentence structure 'people normally would not necessarily watch this to show...' is convoluted. Work on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of prepositions to reach a higher band.
