Patience— Part 1 Report
Conversation
Part 1
Examiner
Are you a patient person?
Candidate
I believe I am a patient person because I always try to listen carefully to others without interrupting them. For example, when someone is explaining a problem to me, I make an effort to understand their feelings instead of rushing to give advice. This helps me stay calm.
Examiner
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Candidate
Feel impatient. What makes me feel impatient is when I lose track of my thoughts during a conversation. For instance, sometimes when I'm talking to someone, interesting ideas suddenly come to my mind, but I quickly forget them, which frustrates me. Because of this, I sometimes interrupt others to try to remember or express my ideas.
Examiner
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Candidate
I usually feel quite exhausted when I have to do something for an extended period, especially turning the IELTS exam. For instance, the fourth section lasts a long time and I often find myself losing concentration, which leads to mental fatigue. As a result, my performance can decline, so I try to take deep breath.
Examiner
Does your job require you to be patient?
Candidate
My job requires me to be very patient because I work with university students who often ask many questions. Although they expect accurate answers, I try to encourage them to think independently and make their own decisions. This process takes time and careful guidance, so I always make sure to show patients and understanding to support their learning effectively.
Examiner
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Candidate
I think I was more patient when I was a child because I used to be calmer and less emotional. Recently I find myself getting frustrated more easily which makes it harder to stay patient. For example, when things don't go as planned, I tend to react emotionally unlike before.

Grammar
× I usually feel quite exhausted when I have to do something for an extended period, especially turning the IELTS exam.
✓ I usually feel quite exhausted when I have to do something for an extended period, especially during the IELTS exam.
The preposition 'turning' is incorrect in this context. The correct preposition to indicate the time during which the IELTS exam takes place is 'during'. Using 'during' properly connects the time frame to the activity, making the sentence grammatically correct.
× so I try to take deep breath.
✓ so I try to take a deep breath.
The phrase 'deep breath' requires an article 'a' because 'breath' is a countable noun in this context. Omitting the article leads to incorrect quantification. Adding 'a' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× so I always make sure to show patients and understanding to support their learning effectively.
✓ so I always make sure to show patience and understanding to support their learning effectively.
The word 'patients' is a plural noun meaning sick people, which is incorrect here. The intended word is 'patience', an uncountable noun meaning the ability to wait calmly. Using 'patience' correctly conveys the intended meaning.
