[QUOTE="CareerBoxer, post: 367181, member: 1"] I had a student who is an advanced speaker but needs help breaking down the grading metric for the IELTS speaking portion. One of the official proctors of the exam (British Council) has a rubric that explains in detail what makes a 7 band speaker different from a 9 band speaker. What I'm going to do for you is completely break this down word for word. Take a look at the few highlights I made at the bottom of the post. So on band 7, I explain what "connectives" are. I'm also planning to make a tutorial on how you can use AI to have conversations. Given that AI struggles with pauses (like when you pause, it will stop listening), it is best to work with a predefined transcript so you know when to pause, instead of pausing accidentally. If that doesn't make sense now, don't worry I will post here again with some samples. If you got this through your email notifications, please do me a favor and reply to this post! Any questions, tips, or comments are welcome ;) I'll be posting frequently with good advice and you may see posts from other people taking the exam, so please welcome others with open arms as I have for you!
