Part 1 · Band 7
Source-reported band score · 55 words
Most of my free time, I read books, especially novels and some documentary books. Reading makes me feel like I'm in a different world, and I can think as much as I want. It makes me feel relaxed and peaceful. Sometimes I watch anime; it's entertaining for my mind. Watching anime really makes me happy.
The answer moves in a clear sequence: reading is introduced, its personal benefits are explained, and anime is added as a second activity with a reason. The final sentence reinforces the positive feeling, though the anime point is less developed than the reading point. For practice, speak for 30 seconds using this same sequence, adding one brief detail about what you enjoy reading or watching. This is an analysis of the text, not a recorded-speaking fluency assessment.
The answer uses relevant, accessible vocabulary, including “different world” and “relaxed and peaceful,” to explain how reading feels. Some wording is less natural or precise: “documentary books” and “entertaining for my mind.” There is also repetition of “makes me feel.” For a stronger version, keep the personal tone but vary the wording—for example, use “non-fiction books” and “I find it entertaining.”
You use present simple consistently and link ideas with structures such as “Reading makes me feel like I’m in a different world, and I can think as much as I want.” The sentences are generally clear, but most follow straightforward patterns, and “Most of my free time, I read books” has an awkward opening. Practise varying the opening with a natural “I spend most of my free time…” structure while keeping your other sentences clear.
A pronunciation band cannot be estimated from text alone; this practice guide is not an assessment of a recording. Practise the phrases “different world,” “relaxed and peaceful,” and “watch anime”: stress “different,” “relaxed,” “peaceful,” and “anime” clearly. Group the first phrase into one thought unit and pause briefly between complete ideas. Record yourself reading the answer, then check whether each key word is easy to hear.
