Your band at a glance
Text-based practice estimate
From 3 of the 4 criteria (FC, LR, GRA). Pronunciation is not assessed from typed answers.
Band 6.0–8.0 diagnostic evidence range. No single centre is shown because the range is wider than one band.
AWhy no single figure: your evidence spans more than one band, so this report shows the range only. A centre is shown only when the range is one band wide or less.
BRange widened to ±1.0: this text-based estimate uses typed answers only, so pronunciation is not assessed.
Profile against your target
Your bands (solid) · Band 8.0 target (dashed) · Pronunciation is not plotted: it is not rateable from typed text.
This report is based on typed answers. We can analyse vocabulary, grammar, response structure and idea development, but pronunciation and full spoken fluency require a recording.
Your clearest next priority: Fluency & Coherence
Fluency & Coherence and Grammatical Range & Accuracy are within half a band of each other in this sample; Fluency & Coherence is the most likely next priority (lowest band first, then the stronger evidence).
Evidence: “What I like most is there are a lot of restaurants and cafes near my home, so it is very convenient.”
Confidence: Medium
What you already do well: Lexical Resource
Lexical Resource is your strongest assessed area in this sample, as your own words show.
Evidence: “I think it is a good place for young people because they can find many activities, but sometimes it is quite noisy at night.”
Use that strength: Your vocabulary can carry the ideas: use the same precise words as anchors while you practise linking each point to a reason and an example.
Your next practice action
Take your sentence “What I like most is there are a lot of restaurants and cafes near my home, so it is very convenient.” and say it again as three linked sentences: your point, a reason (because…) and an example (for example…).
How you will know it improved: In your next mock, more of your answers link a point to a reason and an example, without stopping mid-idea.
Also watch: Grammar Range & Accuracy. Grammatical Range & Accuracy is also close to the lowest band in this sample; return to it once the first priority improves.
Built by code from your scored evidence, using the same rules for every learner.

Task and sample analysis
Familiar topics
Task demandAnswer 3 short questions about familiar, personal topics.
- Let's talk about where you live. Do you live in a house or an apartment?
- What do you like most about your neighbourhood?
- Is it a good place for young people to live? Why?
You answered the Part 1 task directly and gave reasons.
Observed development3 sentence(s), 3 different linking word(s), no example; 2 sentence(s) ran past 15 words.
From your answer: “What I like most is there are a lot of restaurants and cafes near my home, so it is very convenient”
Limit on interpretationPart 1 asks about familiar, personal topics, so it shows little of your range on abstract ideas.
Long turn
Task demandTalk on your own about the task card for up to 2 minutes, after 1 minute of preparation.
- Describe a place you enjoy visiting.
- where it is
- how often you go there
- what you do there
- and explain why you enjoy visiting this place.
You answered the Part 2 task directly and gave reasons.
Observed development5 sentence(s), 2 different linking word(s), no example; 2 sentence(s) ran past 15 words.
From your answer: “I would like to describe West Lake, which is in Hanoi”
Limit on interpretationOne long turn on one topic shows how you sustain a description, not how you handle follow-up questions.
Discussion
Task demandDiscuss 3 more abstract questions linked to the Part 2 topic, with reasons and examples.
- Why do you think people need places they can go to relax?
- Do you think cities provide enough public spaces? Why or why not?
- How might the places people visit change in the future?
You answered the Part 3 task directly and gave reasons.
Observed development4 sentence(s), 3 different linking word(s), no example; 2 sentence(s) ran past 15 words.
From your answer: “I think people need places to relax because modern life is very busy and stressful”
Limit on interpretationA few discussion questions give limited evidence of how you argue and compare ideas at length.

Fluency & Coherence
High
“What I like most is there are a lot of restaurants and cafes near my home, so it is very convenient.”
7 discourse markers, 2 fillers across 202 words.
Band 7: Speaks at length without noticeable effort; some hesitation is about ideas, not language; uses a range of connectives flexibly.
Check whether linking stays varied when the learner answers without preparation.
Lexical Resource
Medium
“I think it is a good place for young people because they can find many activities, but sometimes it is quite noisy at night.”
Type-token ratio 0.63 over 202 words.
Not enough evidence to identify a reliable higher-band gap.
Check whether the learner can paraphrase the question in other words.
Grammar Range & Accuracy
Medium
“I enjoy this place because the air is more fresh than other places in the city, and the view in the evening is very beautiful.”
9 complex sentence(s) detected.
Band 7: Uses a range of complex structures with some flexibility; frequently produces error-free sentences, though some mistakes persist.
Check agreement and comparative forms in a fresh spoken answer.
Pronunciation
not rateable from typed text
No audio was analysed for this sitting.
Not assessed: pronunciation cannot be judged from typed answers. Record your answers for a pronunciation estimate.
Listen to the learner answer aloud before rating pronunciation; typed text carries no sound.
Reading the profile
Fluency & Coherence (6.5) sets the ceiling. Your diagnostic range is 6.0–8.0; the checks in Section J matter most where confidence is lower.
Fidelity excerpts and error map
C · Selected fidelity excerpts
“the government build too” [the government builds too]
A singular subject needs a verb ending in -s in the present simple.
“more fresh than” [fresher than]
Short adjectives form comparatives with -er.

Success check 2
No subject–verb agreement error like "the government build too" in your next recorded answer.
Success check 3
No word form error like "more fresh than" in your next recorded answer.
Three priority interventions
Point, reason and example in every answer
FCNo verbatim quote was kept for this priority.
Verb endings after singular subjects
GRAEvidence: Part 3: “the government build too”. Breakdown: A singular subject needs a verb ending in -s in the present simple.

Why this order. The priorities run from the most band-limiting first. Every priority uses the same loop: explain, drill, re-answer, homework, success check.
Model answers, vocabulary and your 4-week plan
Corrected example answer (demo)
Demo rewrite: the example answer with the logged corrections applied by rule. Not written by AI and not a model answer for any band.
I live in an apartment in Cau Giay district with my parents. What I like most is there are a lot of restaurants and cafes near my home, so it is very convenient. I think it is a good place for young people because they can find many activities, but sometimes it is quite noisy at night.
I would like to describe West Lake, which is in Hanoi. I usually go there about twice a month, normally at the weekend. When I go there, I often ride my bike around the lake with my friends and then we drink coffee and talk. I enjoy this place because the air is fresher than other places in the city, and the view in the evening is very beautiful. It helps me to forget my stress after a long week of study.
- "more fresh than" → "fresher than"
I think people need places to relax because modern life is very busy and stressful. If they don't relax, they will be tired and they cannot work well. In my opinion cities don't provide enough public spaces, because the government builds too many buildings. In the future, I think people will visit more green places, because they want to protect their health.
- "the government build too" → "the government builds too"
Vocabulary upgrades from your answer
| You used | Try | Example |
|---|---|---|
| good | worthwhile, ideal | It's an ideal spot for a quiet weekend. |
| very | remarkably, genuinely | The view is genuinely spectacular. |
