the introduction is too long. it takes around 40 seconds. More contents should be put on arguments.
Try this time pattern for Q5:
part 1. Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. //about 15 seconds.
part 2. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. //about 15 seconds. Like: there are possibly two solutions: The first one is: blabla....the second one is: blabla...If I were the woman/man, I would choose the first/second solution.
part 3. Explain the reason for your recommendation. because reason 1, blabla ...reason 2, blabla(about 30 seconds)...
