Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidate
To be honest, making a list when shopping is not my hobby. Actually, I go shop shopping whenever I need a specific thing and I don't have to make a list to remember things.
Examiner
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Candidate
Yes, I usually make a list from my work to stay organised. However, sometimes it doesn't work well because I'm not disciplined enough to follow it strictly. How? However, I will plan to prioritize my tax better and stick to the list more carefully.
Examiner
Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidate
From my perspective, I think it is because people find it hard to follow the list strictly and they can find it sometimes time consuming, so they will find it better to do things spontaneously instead of making a list.
Examiner
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidate
Uh, in my opinion, making a list on my phone is probably better as you can have your paper lost while uh, you can bring your phone along with you anytime, anywhere, which is really convenient and you can see your list anytime you want to.

× To be honest, making a list when shopping is not my hobby.
✓ To be honest, making a list when shopping is not my habit.
The word 'hobby' refers to an activity done regularly for pleasure, while 'habit' refers to a regular practice or routine. Since the sentence talks about a regular practice rather than a leisure activity, 'habit' is more appropriate.
× Actually, I go shop shopping whenever I need a specific thing and I don't have to make a list to remember things.
✓ Actually, I go shopping whenever I need a specific thing and I don't have to make a list to remember things.
The phrase 'go shop shopping' is incorrect because 'shop' and 'shopping' are redundant here. The correct form is 'go shopping' to indicate the activity of shopping.
× Yes, I usually make a list from my work to stay organised.
✓ Yes, I usually make a list for my work to stay organised.
The preposition 'from' is incorrect in this context. 'Make a list for my work' correctly indicates the purpose of the list.
× However, sometimes it doesn't work well because I'm not disciplined enough to follow it strictly. How? However, I will plan to prioritize my tax better and stick to the list more carefully.
✓ However, sometimes it doesn't work well because I'm not disciplined enough to follow it strictly. Therefore, I plan to prioritize my tasks better and stick to the list more carefully.
The word 'How?' is out of place and confusing. Also, 'However' is repeated unnecessarily. 'Therefore' is a better conjunction to show consequence. Additionally, 'tax' should be 'tasks' to make sense in context.
× From my perspective, I think it is because people find it hard to follow the list strictly and they can find it sometimes time consuming, so they will find it better to do things spontaneously instead of making a list.
✓ From my perspective, I think it is because people find it hard to follow the list strictly and sometimes find it time-consuming, so they prefer to do things spontaneously instead of making a list.
The phrase 'they can find it sometimes time consuming' is awkward and redundant. 'Sometimes find it time-consuming' is clearer. Also, 'they will find it better' is better expressed as 'they prefer' for naturalness.
× Uh, in my opinion, making a list on my phone is probably better as you can have your paper lost while uh, you can bring your phone along with you anytime, anywhere, which is really convenient and you can see your list anytime you want to.
✓ Uh, in my opinion, making a list on my phone is probably better because you can lose your paper, but you can bring your phone along with you anytime, anywhere, which is really convenient and you can see your list anytime you want.
The phrase 'you can have your paper lost' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'you can lose your paper'. Also, 'while' is not appropriate here; 'but' is better to contrast the ideas.
