This is a misconception that they will just check your English.

Can you ask the examiner to change the question?

Okay, so I will ask both of you the same questions for the IELTS exam.

And after you have given your answers, I'll give you a little bit of feedback and let you know who's doing a better job and why.

It's a beautiful city on the west coast of Canada.

It has mountains, beaches, colored lakes, forest, I don't know, whatever you want, it's there.

I live in this city called Vancouver, also known as Raincouver because it rains a lot there.

But we get 200 plus days of sunshine and whenever it's sunny outside, people are all out and about and you can explore mountains, rivers, lakes, parks, restaurants, cafes, and

Let me give you a little bit of feedback.

So the better answer, although they're very similar, would be Al Saba.

And I'll explain why her answer was more accurate to the question.

So the IELTS is looking for accuracy and we as humans, we tend to overspeak and go off topic.

I wasn't really asking about the climate and I wasn't asking about so much the natural beauty of Angkor, but

And one of the best ways to describe that is location.

So I think, you know, Yashi would probably get about a 7.5 for that and Al Saba, you would get an 8 for that.

Simply what made Al Sabas better is she said it's on the west coast of Canada and just that positioning of, you know, what city do you live in?

I live in Vancouver, which is a city on the west coast of Canada, the largest city in British Columbia.

So you don't want to over speak and you want to just tell what the city is.

I like the temperature of the city the most, the weather of the city.

Although like I said in my previous answers, in my previous answer, that it rains a lot.

But because of that, we don't get a really cold weather in the city, so it's never in negative temperature.

It would be around 6 degrees, which is not bad for harsh Canadian winters.

Al Saba, what do you like most about your city?

What I love the most about my city is that it has the best of both worlds.

What I love the most about my city is it has best of both worlds.

It's a big city with the heart of a small town.

So you can find all the amenities of a big city, but

you're close to nature and a quick getaway any time of the year.

So in this case, again, so concise answers are important.

Al Saba, you had some really good vocabulary for sure, and it was a great answer.

I think Yash realized that examiners like to hear a clear, accurate answer, so he immediately said, okay, I like the weather the most because it's rainy.

It also is not as cold as other parts of Canada.

I can now go and tell my friend I know exactly why Yash loves Vancouver.

If my friend asked me, why does Al Saba like it?

I'd have to be like, I think she likes a few parts of it.

So that's kind of one way that you can test how well you're answering is like, if I had to report this answer to someone, would I be able to clearly tell them their response?

And in this case, I think Yash had it better, even though he didn't have quite as much vocabulary in this case.

So he would have still scored, like, in that 7, 5, 8 range, as where for Yael Saba, it would have been close to the seven just because were not so clear anymore on what was the response.

So what I love most about Vancouver is that it's friendly even though it's a big city, and

Once you started saying like, it's easy to, like, have a quick getaway.

That's like a second thing that you like about it.

So I would just keep it to that one point saying like, yeah, even though it's a big city, it's very friendly.

So this is a misconception that they will just the examiner will just check your English.

They also check the content of your answer, right?

Especially when you get into the high band scores.

So when you get into those band 75859, the English is expected for those band scores.

It's expected that you're able to use good grammar, good vocabulary, accurate grammar, accurate vocabulary.

At those band scores, they're really also looking at your accuracy, like how well, how coherent.

It really comes down to coherence at that level.
