Part 1
Examiner
Are you a patient person?
Candidate
Yes, I think I am a patient person because I always listen to others before I talk and I don't get angry or mad easily. I have a really stable emotion which makes my friend likes me a lot.
Examiner
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Candidate
The thing that makes me feel impatient is lining up in queue because I really hate lining up in queues during hot summer and cold winters. In hot summer we are sweating and then the sun is burning hot and in winter it is very cold wind.
Examiner
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Candidate
If the thing I need to do for a long time is the things that I like, I'll feel happy and enjoy. But if the things I'm going to do for a long time is the things that I don't like, I would feel tiring and bored.
Examiner
Does your job require you to be patient?
Candidate
Yes, my job requires me to be patient because especially in math homeworks, we need to be very patient in solving algebras and equations. I really need to be patient or else we can't finish the homework.
Examiner
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Candidate
Yes, I am more patient now because I entered secondary school, which marks a very different turning point. You make friends and then you need to cooperate and share some duties with them, which makes you more patient. And yes.

What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but a bit repetitive and could be more concise. Try to avoid repeating the same phrase and use linking words to make your answer more coherent. Also, be careful with plural forms and article usage, e.g., "lining up in queues" instead of "lining up in queue."
Example: What makes me feel impatient is waiting in queues, especially during hot summers and cold winters. For instance, in summer, the sun is scorching and we sweat a lot, while in winter, the cold wind makes waiting uncomfortable.
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?

Does your job require you to be patient?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but could be more concise and natural. Avoid repeating "patient" too often and improve sentence flow. Also, use plural forms correctly, e.g., "math homework" (uncountable) instead of "math homeworks."
Example: Yes, my job requires patience, especially when solving algebra and equations in math homework. Without patience, it would be difficult to complete the tasks successfully.
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but somewhat informal and ends abruptly. Try to avoid phrases like "And yes" at the end. Also, use more precise linking words and expand your explanation slightly for clarity.

× I have a really stable emotion which makes my friend likes me a lot.
✓ I have a really stable emotion which makes my friends like me a lot.
The word 'friend' should be plural 'friends' because the verb 'like' is plural form and refers to multiple people. Also, 'likes' should be 'like' to agree with the plural subject 'friends'. This is a singular and plural agreement issue.
× The thing that makes me feel impatient is lining up in queue because I really hate lining up in queues during hot summer and cold winters.
✓ The thing that makes me feel impatient is lining up in a queue because I really hate lining up in queues during hot summers and cold winters.
The phrase 'in queue' should be 'in a queue' to be grammatically correct. Also, 'hot summer' and 'cold winters' should be plural 'hot summers' and 'cold winters' to refer to general seasons. This is a singular and plural issue.
× In hot summer we are sweating and then the sun is burning hot and in winter it is very cold wind.
✓ In hot summer we are sweating and then the sun is burning hot and in winter there is very cold wind.
The sentence lacks the verb 'there is' before 'very cold wind' to indicate existence. This is a 'there be' issue and preposition usage issue.
× If the thing I need to do for a long time is the things that I like, I'll feel happy and enjoy.
✓ If the things I need to do for a long time are the things that I like, I'll feel happy and enjoy.
The subject 'thing' should be plural 'things' to agree with 'are' and 'things that I like'. This is a singular and plural agreement issue.
× But if the things I'm going to do for a long time is the things that I don't like, I would feel tiring and bored.
✓ But if the things I'm going to do for a long time are the things that I don't like, I would feel tired and bored.
The verb 'is' should be 'are' to agree with plural subject 'things'. Also, 'tiring' should be 'tired' to correctly describe the feeling. This is a singular and plural issue and incorrect use of adjectives.
× I would feel tiring and bored.
✓ I would feel tired and bored.
'Tiring' is an adjective describing something that causes tiredness, while 'tired' describes the feeling of a person. Here, the student should use 'tired' to express their feeling. This is an incorrect use of adjectives.
× Yes, my job requires me to be patient because especially in math homeworks, we need to be very patient in solving algebras and equations.
✓ Yes, my job requires me to be patient because especially in math homework, we need to be very patient in solving algebra and equations.
'Homeworks' is incorrect; 'homework' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized. Also, 'algebras' should be 'algebra' as it is uncountable. This is a singular and plural issue.
