What speaking ability does a score of IELTS Band 75 represent
Watch this Speaking test sample where Aashish from Nepal talks about Work friends food and cooking Heres why this performance was given a Band 75
This test taker speaks fluently and he engages with the questions without any obvious effort There is only occasional hesitation repetition and self-correction which is mostly content-related and only rarely to search for language His relaxed delivery is supported by his flexible use of markers I am both basically as well as every now and then that would be French
His vocabulary is sufficient for him to engage with a variety of topics and he demonstrates an ability to use idioms and collocations with some sense of style and skill However he makes a number of inappropriate vocabulary choices all over the place that’s not just my cup of tea someone to confront and talk to I haven’t got a chance which restrict his rating on this criterion
He has a wide range of grammatical structures at his disposal and the majority of sentences are error-free Even when errors do very occasionally occur I work part-time as well as a student it just does not come into me they do not detract at all from meaning
He uses a wide range of pronunciation features and is able to use stress and intonation effectively There are just a few lapses and very occasionally sounds are poorly formed bot for ‘both’ vent for ‘went’ but overall his accent has only minimal effect on intelligibility
