Here's why this performance was given a Band : This candidate can maintain
the flow of speech without noticeable effort and there is no loss of coherence. He uses a variety of
linking words and markers (I would say; that’s a good question; as I said; as long as), but he
overuses the filler (yeah) and sometimes referencing is inaccurate (for the one or the other reasons).
He uses a
wide range of vocabulary, including some less common and idiomatic items and effective collocation (easy to blame; global warming; financial crisis; he stands for something; can’t stand the pressure). However, sometimes he
lacks precision in his choice of words and expressions (Greek instead of ‘Greece’; on the other side of the lake; environmentally people/things; a big branch).
His grammar displays a good range of both simple and complex structures. Many of his sentences are error-free but he makes
some mistakes in
subject/verb agreement (people who wants; the people who admires him), articles (the normal person) and relative pronouns (everything what happens).
His pronunciation is clear and easy to follow. He uses both sentence stress and intonation effectively to convey meaning (you can’t blame a soccer player but it’s easy to blame the politicians).
He does have a
noticeable accent, however, and his
mispronunciation of a few words results in occasional loss of clarity (wole model for ‘role model’; wong for ‘wrong’; serf the planet for ‘serve the planet’).
