Part 1
Examiner
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidate
Oh absolutely. I was a very active child so I loved going to the park to run around and play on the screens with my friends. It was my favorite play to leg up some steam and just have fun after school.
Examiner
Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidate
I definitely do. Nowadays I visit sports primarily primarily for realization rather than for playing. It's a rare spark to escape the city noise, take a lazily walk, or just sit on a bench, uh, and read a book to clear my hand.
Examiner
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidate
Yes, I really would. My city is quite heavily urbanized with a lot of high rates, high rise buildings so having more green spaces is essential. More parks would definitely improve the air quality and provide a much needed space for residents to exercise.
Examiner
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidate
I have heard a lot about Central Park in New York, and I'd love to visit it one day. It's famous for being a massive green, uh, Oasis right in the middle of a bustling city, and I'm curious to see how people actually see, uh, use that space.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Avoid hesitations and incorrect words; be concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct vocabulary (e.g., “playground” not “screens”), and one or two supporting details. Keep to 2–3 sentences and remove redundant phrases.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks, but now I visit them mainly to relax rather than to play. For example, I often take a leisurely walk or sit on a bench to read and escape the city's noise.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Good content and clear reasons. Improve accuracy of phrases and use precise vocabulary (e.g., “high-rises” or “tall buildings”). Combine sentences smoothly with linking words and avoid small grammar slips.
Example: Yes, I would. My city is heavily urbanized with many high-rises, so more green spaces are essential. More parks would improve air quality and give residents convenient places to exercise.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and minor pronunciation fillers. Keep answer concise: name the park, say why you want to visit, and add one specific detail. Avoid repeating or unclear verbs like “see how people actually see use.”
Example: I'd love to visit Central Park in New York because it's a huge green oasis in the middle of the city. I'm especially interested in seeing how people relax and exercise there throughout the year.
× I was a very active child so I loved going to the park to run around and play on the screens with my friends.
✓ I was a very active child, so I loved going to the park to run around and play on the swings with my friends.
The word 'screens' is incorrect in context; the correct word is 'swings'. This is a vocabulary choice rather than a verb-form error, but it affects meaning. Also add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses. Suggestion: use the correct noun 'swings' and punctuate compound sentence with a comma.
× It was my favorite play to leg up some steam and just have fun after school.
✓ It was my favorite place to let off some steam and just have fun after school.
Several errors: 'play' should be 'place' (wrong word), 'leg' should be 'let' (wrong verb), and 'let off some steam' is the correct idiom. The original has incorrect word choices causing a sentence structure and meaning error. Suggestion: use the idiom 'let off some steam' and correct noun 'place'.
× Nowadays I visit sports primarily primarily for realization rather than for playing.
✓ Nowadays I visit parks primarily for relaxation rather than for playing.
Multiple issues: 'sports' is wrong noun (should be 'parks'), 'primarily' is duplicated, and 'realization' should be 'relaxation'. These are vocabulary and redundancy errors that affect tense/meaning. Suggestion: remove duplication, use 'parks' and 'relaxation'.
× It's a rare spark to escape the city noise, take a lazily walk, or just sit on a bench, uh, and read a book to clear my hand.
✓ It's a rare space to escape the city noise, take a lazy walk, or just sit on a bench and read a book to clear my head.
Multiple word choice and adverb errors: 'rare spark' should be 'rare space' or 'rare respite'; 'lazily walk' should be 'lazy walk' (adjective before noun); 'clear my hand' should be 'clear my head'. Also remove filler 'uh' and extra comma. Suggestion: use correct collocations 'rare space/respite', 'lazy walk', and 'clear my head'.
× My city is quite heavily urbanized with a lot of high rates, high rise buildings so having more green spaces is essential.
✓ My city is quite heavily urbanized with a lot of high-rise buildings, so having more green spaces is essential.
'High rates' is incorrect; intended 'high-rises' or 'high-rise buildings'. Hyphenate 'high-rise' when used as adjective. Add a comma before 'so'. Remove redundant phrase. Suggestion: use 'high-rise buildings' or 'high-rises'.
× More parks would definitely improve the air quality and provide a much needed space for residents to exercise.
✓ More parks would definitely improve the air quality and provide much-needed space for residents to exercise.
'A much needed space' is awkward; 'much-needed space' (no article) is more natural because 'space' is uncountable here. Hyphenate 'much-needed'. Suggestion: treat 'space' as uncountable and use 'much-needed space'.
× It's famous for being a massive green, uh, Oasis right in the middle of a bustling city, and I'm curious to see how people actually see, uh, use that space.
✓ It's famous for being a massive green oasis right in the middle of a bustling city, and I'm curious to see how people actually use that space.
Remove filler 'uh' and redundant comma; 'see, uh, use' is disfluent and 'see' is unnecessary. 'Oasis' should not be capitalized. Suggestion: streamline to 'actually use that space'.
