Band 6+: Why do you think some people prefer not to go abroad on holiday?

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

The response addresses the question directly and provides several relevant reasons, such as financial concerns, language barriers, and cultural anxiety. The answer moves away from personal experience and discusses people in general, which is appropriate for Part 3. To improve, try to expand on each point with more depth or complexity. For example, instead of listing multiple reasons briefly, you could select one or two and explain the underlying psychological or social mechanisms in more detail. Additionally, using a wider range of cohesive devices and more sophisticated vocabulary (e.g., 'cultural shock' or 'financial constraints') would enhance the quality of the response.

The speaker provides a relevant answer and follows a logical progression (money -> language -> culture -> conclusion). However, the coherence is somewhat limited by the repetitive use of 'and' and 'some people' to connect ideas. To reach a higher band, use a wider variety of cohesive devices such as 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to this,' or 'Consequently' to link your points more smoothly.

The vocabulary is functional but quite basic and repetitive. There were errors in word formation in the raw transcript (e.g., 'waste money' instead of 'wasting money' and 'financial expands' instead of 'expenses'). To improve, try to use more precise collocations and synonyms. Instead of saying 'different kinds of people,' you could say 'diverse populations' or 'cultural differences.' Instead of 'don't like,' you could use 'are reluctant to' or 'hesitant about.'

The grammatical structures are mostly simple sentences. There are noticeable errors in the raw transcript, such as 'waste money for their financial expands' and 'the country has another kind of people.' While the meaning is clear, the lack of complex sentence structures (subordinate clauses, relative clauses) prevents a higher score. Work on using relative clauses (e.g., 'People who are concerned about finances...') to increase your grammatical range.
