Uh, now I'm a student in high school. It's my senior year in my country. It's a small business. I'm studying in a program in my country. It's similar to social studies, but I will learn about, uh, many subjects. Like with, uh, the success related to social, social media, digital marketing. Thanks days.
The answer moves from your high-school status to your program and then gives examples of subjects, so it has a relevant basic sequence. However, short repeated openings such as “It's my senior year” and the unfinished “Like with” make the explanation feel fragmented in the text. Practise giving this same answer in 20 seconds: state your course, explain what it covers, then give two examples, using one complete sentence for each step.
You use relevant study vocabulary, including “senior year,” “social studies” and “digital marketing,” which helps identify your school level and subject area. The range is limited, though, and “It's a small business” does not clearly show whether you mean a course or a business. Replace broad wording with precise study phrases, such as “I’m studying small business” and “the program covers…,” while retaining the subject examples you gave.
Several short sentences are understandable, for example, “I'm a student in high school,” but the answer also contains an incomplete construction: “Like with, uh, the success related to social…” Repetition in “social, social media” further interrupts the sentence structure. Practise joining your ideas with a clear subject and verb—for example, “The program covers several subjects, including…”—and check that each example belongs grammatically to a complete sentence.
This is a text-only response, so pronunciation cannot be assessed and no claims are made about how you sounded. For practice, mark the main stress in “senior year,” “social studies” and “digital marketing,” then group the answer into thought units: your school year / your program / examples of subjects. Record yourself reading it, listen back, and check whether each phrase is easy to understand. This practice guide is not an assessment of a recording.
