Do you enjoy cooking? · Band 5.5

Examiner: Hey there! Do you enjoy cooking? What can you make?

Examiner: You could

Examiner: You could tell me about a dish you like to prepare.

You: Listen, I can't speak English well. Because I'm our Arabic. Can you speak Arabic?

Examiner: I understand, but let's try to keep practicing in English for now. How about telling me about your favorite food to eat?

You: my favourite food it's meat.

Examiner: Ah, meat! How do you usually like to cook it? Grilled, fried, or something else?

You: some else

Examiner: Oh? What other ways do you like? Maybe stewed or roasted?

You: with the sauce hot sauce

Examiner: Hot sauce! That sounds tasty. Is there any particular type of hot sauce you prefer?

You: So so with that a tomato smile uh uh

Examiner: Ah, like

You: like to my hand hot

Examiner: Ah, like a spicy tomato sauce! That sounds delicious. Do you make the sauce yourself?

You: Yeah.

Examiner: So, do you usually cook for yourself, or do you cook for other people too?

You: All my family loved it.

Examiner: That's wonderful! It's always nice when you can make something everyone enjoys. What's your favorite thing to have on the side with your meat?

You: Just meat and some whiskey and wine.

Examiner: Whiskey and wine! That makes for quite a meal! Now, just to wrap up, I want to give you a little feedback on your English. Your fluency is pretty steady, though you do pause to think at times, so let's call that a 6.0. Your vocabulary is okay, but more precise words would help—a 5.5. Grammar has some hiccups, maybe around a 5.0. Pronunciation is quite clear, about a 6.5. Overall, let's call that about a 6.0, and like I mentioned, it's just an estimate. My biggest suggestion is to practice talking more often, try to build longer sentences without pausing as much. You have a good foundation to build on!

You: Yeah. I won.

Examiner: That's the spirit! Keep going and you'll be surprised how much you improve. Is there anything else you'd like to practice talking about today?
