Part 1
Examiner
Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidate
Usually I don't make a shopping list when I'm in clothing stores, but if I'm in a supermarket I would like to have some things written down, especially if my mother has asked me for them. Although I prefer to search for things that I see at the moment rather than just looking at online stores and checking for that.
Examiner
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Candidate
I don't make a list of my work because for me it depends on how I'm feeling and if I am likely to do something right now. I will do this thing first and then the other ones. So I don't like having plans, although on some occasions they are the better way of achieving my accomplishments.
Examiner
Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidate
I firmly believe that not all people are capable of following their lists, so that's why they are not making them. Moreover, they prefer to do spontaneous decisions and not plan everything that they should do for their days.
Examiner
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidate
I personally prefer to make a list on my phone because it is environmentally friendly as well. It is easier to rewrite something if I have forgotten to mention something in the list and I am able to correct as many mistakes as I want without making huge mess, while on the paper this is impossible.

Example: I usually don't make a list when shopping for clothes because I like to choose items spontaneously. However, when I go to the supermarket, I prefer to have a list, especially if my mother asks me to buy specific things. This helps me stay organized and not forget anything.

× Although I prefer to search for things that I see at the moment rather than just looking at online stores and checking for that.
✓ Although I prefer to search for things that I see at the moment rather than just look at online stores and check for them.
The verbs 'looking' and 'checking' should be in the base form 'look' and 'check' after 'rather than' to maintain parallel structure and correct verb form usage.
× I would like to have some things written down, especially if my mother has asked me for them.
✓ I like to have some things written down, especially if my mother has asked me for them.
The use of 'would like' implies a conditional or polite request, but here a simple present 'like' fits better to express habitual preference.
× I will do this thing first and then the other ones.
✓ I will do this thing first and then the others.
The phrase 'the other ones' is less concise; 'the others' is the correct quantifier to refer to the remaining items.
× although on some occasions they are the better way of achieving my accomplishments.
✓ although on some occasions they are the best way of achieving my accomplishments.
The comparative adjective 'better' is incorrect here because there is no comparison; the superlative 'best' is appropriate to indicate the highest degree.
× Moreover, they prefer to do spontaneous decisions and not plan everything that they should do for their days.
✓ Moreover, they prefer to make spontaneous decisions and not plan everything that they should do during their days.
The verb 'do' is incorrect with 'decisions'; the correct collocation is 'make decisions'. Also, 'for their days' is better expressed as 'during their days'.
× It is easier to rewrite something if I have forgotten to mention something in the list and I am able to correct as many mistakes as I want without making huge mess, while on the paper this is impossible.
✓ It is easier to rewrite something if I have forgotten to mention something in the list and I am able to correct as many mistakes as I want without making a huge mess, while on paper this is impossible.
The phrase 'making huge mess' lacks the article 'a'. Also, 'on the paper' should be 'on paper' as the idiomatic expression.
