thank you so much help you and wish you luck thank you [Music] all right i have some tips for you well you speak fluently and confidently which is really good and that's a positive point i like your ideas and you can speak in a good way you use both complex and simple structures but you should work on your complex structures in terms of grammar you use a good range of vocabulary and your self-correction is okay but you should control it because self-correction is not a bad or negative point but it should be less not a lot your pronunciation features were good enough but not excellent you know you should work on it especially related to those vocabulary that you may use it in your mother thunk for example social media not social media it's not correct pay attention to using a correct form of prepositions for example once in a month not once on a month is not correct or on instagram not in instagram it's important okay to memorize them okay by the way i'll give you 6.5 and that's a good one thank you thank you so much [Music] hi there i have some tips for you candidates who gain band score 6 or 6.5 may have a good coherence and they may talk fluently but they have a lot of selfcorrections which is not a good idea they use a good range of connectives and discourse marks but not always appropriately so you should pay attention to this point it's very important in terms of grammar they use both complex and simple structures but not very flexible they may have mistakes and self-corrections so if you want to gain more score you should pay attention to this point too in terms of vocabulary and lexical resource they have a good knowledge of expressions and idioms but they may have some errors and mistakes they use them not confident enough well last but not the least in term of pronunciation they use a range of pronunciation features with mixed control they may have some self-correction they don't pay attention to a stress syllable but they can correct themselves time to time well if you want to gain more score you should pay attention to all these points and try to improve yourself in terms of grammar use complex structures in terms of lexical resources you
