Part 1
Examiner
What is your favourite machine in your home?
Candidate
Definitely the air conditioner. Summer in my city are unbearable so I used to spend most of the day in my room and turn on the air conditioner to stay cool and comfortable.
Examiner
Do you think washing machines and sweeping machines are important?
Candidate
Definitely yes. Washing machines and the sweeping machines are very convenient because they save time and can clean areas that are hard to search by hand, such as under furnitures. These make the household choice much more efficient.
Examiner
Do you read the instructions before using a machine?
Candidate
Yes, especially in recent years, such machines are usually linked with Internet or some high technological equipment. So I need to read the instructions to learn how to use it correctly instead of use it directly.
Examiner
Do you think it is important to read the instructions?
Candidate
Definitely yes, because I can learn all the functions and usage by reading instructions in order to use it correctly. And on the other hand it is important to keep us safety because some machines are very dangerous if you work wrong.
What is your favourite machine in your home?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Make the response grammatically accurate, concise, and add one specific supporting detail. Correct tense and agreement errors and avoid redundancy. Use a linking phrase to connect reason and example.
Example: My favourite machine at home is the air conditioner. Summers in my city are unbearable, so I spend most of the day in my room to stay cool; for example, I set it to 24°C and it helps me sleep and work comfortably.
Do you think washing machines and sweeping machines are important?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Improve grammar (articles, plural forms) and clarity. Give one concise reason with a linking word and a specific example of benefit. Avoid vague phrases like 'household choice'.
Example: Yes, I think they are important because they save a lot of time and do a better job than hand-cleaning. For instance, a robot sweeper can reach under furniture and a washing machine handles heavy laundry loads quickly.
Do you read the instructions before using a machine?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: Fix word choice and phrasing for naturalness (e.g., 'Internet-connected' and 'high-tech'). Use one linking word and a brief specific example of what you learn from instructions.
Example: Yes. Nowadays many machines are Internet-connected or high-tech, so I read the instructions to learn settings and safety steps; for example, I check how to connect the device to Wi‑Fi and what maintenance is required.
Do you think it is important to read the instructions?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Combine ideas into a clear, grammatical answer with linking words and specific safety example. Correct awkward phrases ('keep us safety', 'work wrong').
Example: Yes, it is important because instructions explain functions and correct usage, and they prevent accidents; for example, following safety warnings can stop you from injuring yourself when using power tools.
× Summer in my city are unbearable so I used to spend most of the day in my room and turn on the air conditioner to stay cool and comfortable.
✓ Summer in my city is unbearable, so I used to spend most of the day in my room and turn on the air conditioner to stay cool and comfortable.
Subject 'Summer' is singular and requires the singular verb 'is' rather than 'are'. Add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses. Suggestion: match singular subjects with singular verbs and punctuate compound sentences with a comma before coordinating conjunctions.
× Definitely yes. Washing machines and the sweeping machines are very convenient because they save time and can clean areas that are hard to search by hand, such as under furnitures.
✓ Definitely yes. Washing machines and sweeping machines are very convenient because they save time and can clean areas that are hard to reach by hand, such as under furniture.
Use no definite article before a general plural noun: 'sweeping machines' not 'the sweeping machines' (article errors). 'Furnitures' is uncountable and should be 'furniture' (singular/plural misuse category 1 applied to uncountable). 'Search by hand' is unnatural; use 'reach by hand'. Suggestion: avoid 'the' when speaking generally about a class, use 'furniture' without -s, and prefer 'reach' for accessing hard-to-get places.
× These make the household choice much more efficient.
✓ These make household chores much more efficient.
Preposition/word choice error: 'household choice' is incorrect; the intended meaning is 'household chores'. 'Choice' is the wrong noun. Suggestion: use 'chores' for tasks around the home and omit 'the' when speaking generally.
× Yes, especially in recent years, such machines are usually linked with Internet or some high technological equipment.
✓ Yes, especially in recent years, such machines are usually linked to the Internet or to some high-tech equipment.
Pronoun/phrase and preposition errors: use 'linked to' rather than 'linked with'. 'Internet' normally takes the definite article 'the Internet'. 'High technological equipment' is awkward; use 'high-tech equipment'. Suggestion: use common collocations 'linked to the Internet' and 'high-tech' as a compound adjective.
× So I need to read the instructions to learn how to use it correctly instead of use it directly.
✓ So I need to read the instructions to learn how to use it correctly instead of using it directly.
After 'instead of' a gerund (-ing) is required, not the base form. Suggestion: follow 'instead of' with 'using' when contrasting actions.
× Definitely yes, because I can learn all the functions and usage by reading instructions in order to use it correctly.
✓ Definitely yes, because I can learn all the functions and how to use them by reading the instructions in order to use the machine correctly.
Pronoun reference and article errors: 'usage' is awkward here; better 'how to use them' referring to functions, and 'the instructions' needs 'the'. Also clarify 'it' to 'the machine' for clarity. Suggestion: make pronoun references explicit and use 'the instructions' when referring to specific documentation.
× And on the other hand it is important to keep us safety because some machines are very dangerous if you work wrong.
✓ On the other hand, it is important to keep us safe because some machines are very dangerous if you use them incorrectly.
Adverb/adjective and word choice errors: 'keep us safety' is incorrect; use adjective 'safe'. 'Work wrong' is incorrect phrasing; use 'use them incorrectly'. Also add a comma after introductory phrase 'On the other hand'. Suggestion: use 'safe' for condition and 'incorrectly' as the adverb modifying 'use'.
