Band 6 and Band 7 model answers

Record your answer first. Then compare how the stronger model develops the same question with clearer detail, linking and control.

Do you like science?

Band 6 model

Yes, I do. I think science is useful and interesting. I like how it explains things in the world, like why the sky is blue or how plants grow. I don’t follow every new discovery, but I enjoy basic science topics.

Speaking criteria note: The Band 7 answer gives more personalised reasons and examples, uses a wider range of vocabulary and adds nuance compared with the simpler Band 6 reply.
One useful move
