Grammar & Vocabulary Analysis
For the topic about the role of music in my life, I have to say for that the type of music that 
attractive to me that is attractive to me (‘Attractive’ is an adjective. You are using a relative clause 
so you cannot have the relative pronoun ‘that’ + adjective. It must be followed in this case by the 
verb ‘is’ which you have missed out) the most is pop music, and easy listening, and also jazz, but 
the type of music that I listen to the most is easy slow pop and easy listening types (Must be 
plural as you are talking about several types of music, not just one) of music.  
And I listen to the music (You are talking about music generally. We don’t use an article to talk 
about general things, so no article is used. e.g. ‘I like cars’ not ‘I like the cars’) everyday, to 
national radios radio stations and pop radio that and (You are just giving additional information so 
you should not be using ‘that’ to make a relative clause) the most famous one is called 
Greenwave, which is the radio station targeted to at (‘target’ collocates with the preposition ‘at’) 
working people and to at (as per the last comment) adults (You are not talking about one adult, 
but adults generally so it should be plural).
And to me music is quite important and it very have many useful it has many very useful (You are 
getting basic word order mixed up. It should be subject+verb+determiner+adverb+adjective)…I 
mean…ok...first is the first useful thing is that (You haven’t yet said what ‘first’ is referring to so 
you have to say i.e. ‘useful thing’) the music can bring up improve (‘mood’ collocates with 
‘improve’, not ‘bring up’) my mood when I'm feeling down or when I'm depressed and I choose to 
listen to the music that got has / has got (You are talking about ‘possessing’ something, in this 
case ‘rhythm’. For possession we use have / have got. ‘He has got rhythm’; ‘He has a car’, not ‘he 
got a car’. ) more rhythmic rhythm (It’s a noun not an adjective) and very active [unclear what you 
mean] or the happy type of music to listen on to (Faulty collection. We listen ‘to’ something. ) it 
which is (you should use a relative clause as you are giving extra information about the ‘happy 
type of music’ you listen to) very helpful to lift up my bad mood lift my mood (You don’t ‘lift up a 
mood’, people ‘lift their mood’ which means to improve it) when I'm feeling down.
Grammar: 
There is not a very wide range of complex sentences used, and those that are used, such as the 
relative clauses often have errors in. You have these particular problems that you should practice 
and work on:
•Relative clauses
•Prepositions & Collocations
•Basic Word Order
Band 5 
Vocabulary:
There is limited flexibility with your vocabulary and you have difficulty talking about things at 
length. And there are problems with paraphrasing i.e. finding other ways to explain things when 
you can’t find the word needed. 
Band 5 
Pronunciation
Your pronunciation is generally ok in that most individual words can be understood, though there 
are some problems such as sounding like you say "when I'm feeling douw" instead of “down". 
But there are frequent lapses in the delivery with lot’s of stuttering, which means a band 6 cannot 
be reached.  
Band 5 
Fluency and Cohesion
The major problem with your IELTS speaking response is the fluency and coherence. You keep 
hesitating and there are lots of 'erm' and 'er' all the way through which interrupt the flow of 
speech. There is a lot of self-correction and more difficult speech causes particular problems. 
Coherency is completely lost at one point when you seem to get very confused: 
“And...and...er...to me music is quite important and it's...erm...it very have many...er...useful...I 
mean...er...ok...first is the music can”.
