Yuko, Japan (overall band 6.5)
| Fluency and Coherence - band 7 | Lexical Resource - band 7 |
| Is able to speak at length about most topics. some hesitation and self-correction causes some fluency problems. Speech is generally well-developed and uses a range of linking devices. | Uses a range of lexis fairly flexibly and shows understanding of style and collocation. There are also several examples of less common and more idiomatic language such as 'volunteer basis', 'you can be mobile' and 'miscommunication'. |
| Grammatical Range / Accuracy - band 6 | Pronunciation - band 7 |
| Utilises a range of complex structures with generally good accuracy ('you choose, depending on what..', 'to help brands to..is to combine...'). However, errors persist, such as, 'makes feel like having garden', 'If I went to see them it couldn’t be...' | Uses some varied stress and intonation to convey precise meaning but it is not sustained. Chunking is generally appropriate. Phonemes such as L and R sometimes makes individual sounds and words unclear. |
