Band 7+: Why have people's attitudes towards recycling changed over the last several years?

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

The answer stays on topic and directly addresses the question by explaining the shift in attitudes due to increased awareness and external encouragement. It is appropriately general, avoiding personal anecdotes. However, it could be more fully developed by providing specific examples or elaborating on how awareness has been raised (e.g., through media campaigns, education, or visible environmental impacts). Adding a contrast with past attitudes or mentioning practical factors like improved recycling infrastructure would also strengthen the response.

The answer is coherent and logically organized, with clear progression from awareness to action. However, it is quite brief and lacks elaboration or examples, which limits the demonstration of full fluency. To improve, expand on each point with specific examples or further explanation, and use a wider range of cohesive devices beyond 'as a result' and 'in addition'.

The vocabulary is appropriate and precise (e.g., 'environmental problems', 'sustainable habits'), but it is somewhat limited in range. To achieve a higher score, incorporate more varied and sophisticated terms, such as 'environmental consciousness', 'waste management', 'eco-friendly practices', or 'legislative measures'. Avoid repetition of 'more' and 'people'.

The grammar is accurate with correct use of present perfect ('have become', 'have been encouraging') and a conditional structure ('As a result, more people understand'). However, the range of structures is limited, and the answer is short. To improve, use a mix of complex sentences, such as relative clauses or passive voice, and ensure the answer is more developed to showcase a full range of grammatical structures.
