Part 1

Examiner

Do you often go to the library?

Candidate

I do not visit libraries very often. I remember going to the libraries back in 2010 when I was in school at you. We used to have a mandatory library period where our teacher used to take us to the library to read any kind of books that we prefer. I would usually go for non fictional books.

Examiner

What do you usually do in the library?

Candidate

I just told you I do not pay a visit to the library very often, but if I had to go to the library I would just read a book which would be about plans. These days I'm very much into gardening and I would love to see how to grow plants which we usually do not find, like tulips or perhaps sunflower. That would be great.

Examiner

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Candidate

Yes, I used to go to the library every Monday when I was a kid. It was a mandatory library period in my school. My teacher would come and she would take us to the library where often where she used to give us books based on our interest and I would most likely go for nonfictional book in some of the classes. She made us read the dictionaries as well, that kind of picture dictionaries. So it was very engaging and I loved her.

Examiner

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Candidate

I feel that's very subjective because I'm not a Chinese or I've never been friends with someone who belongs to that region so. But I guess yes they are very much like Asians based on what I have seen so I believe yes. They usually go for reading books in the library as well.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× I remember going to the libraries back in 2010 when I was in school at you.

I remember going to the library back in 2010 when I was in school at you.

The word 'libraries' should be singular 'library' because it refers to a specific place the student attended, not multiple libraries. Using singular form is appropriate here.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I would usually go for non fictional books.

I would usually go for nonfiction books.

The term 'non fictional' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'nonfiction' as one word to describe books that are factual.

Singular and plural issue

× I would just read a book which would be about plans.

I would just read a book which would be about plants.

The word 'plans' is a typo or incorrect word here; the intended word is 'plants' which fits the context of gardening.

Singular and plural issue

× I would love to see how to grow plants which we usually do not find, like tulips or perhaps sunflower.

I would love to see how to grow plants which we usually do not find, like tulips or perhaps sunflowers.

The word 'sunflower' should be plural 'sunflowers' to match the plural 'tulips' and the context of multiple types of plants.

Singular and plural issue

× I would most likely go for nonfictional book in some of the classes.

I would most likely go for nonfiction books in some of the classes.

The word 'book' should be plural 'books' because it refers to multiple books in classes, and 'nonfictional' is incorrect; 'nonfiction' is the correct adjective.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I would most likely go for nonfictional book in some of the classes.

I would most likely go for nonfiction books in some of the classes.

The adjective 'nonfictional' is incorrect; the correct term is 'nonfiction' to describe factual books.

Sentence structure errors

× My teacher would come and she would take us to the library where often where she used to give us books based on our interest and I would most likely go for nonfictional book in some of the classes.

My teacher would come and take us to the library where she often gave us books based on our interests, and I would most likely go for nonfiction books in some of the classes.

The sentence has redundant 'where often where' and awkward structure. Correcting to 'where she often gave us books based on our interests' improves clarity and grammar.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I feel that's very subjective because I'm not a Chinese or I've never been friends with someone who belongs to that region so.

I feel that's very subjective because I'm not Chinese, nor have I ever been friends with someone who belongs to that region.

The phrase 'I'm not a Chinese' is incorrect; 'Chinese' is a nationality adjective and does not take an article. Also, the conjunction 'or' is better replaced with 'nor' for negative statements. The sentence is restructured for clarity.
