Part 1
Examiner
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidate
Yes, I definitely loved going to park as a child because when I was younger my parents always take me to picnics and will buy a lot of fruits and sandwiches. Then we can chill at some grassland. So it was a very beautiful memory for me. That's why I love the parks.
Examiner
Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidate
Yeah, I absolutely still love going to parks now because it's just very different from busy city life. When I was take university in Shanghai. Every weekend I will go out and especially like having park dates with my boyfriend because we can chill at the park and just take a walk besides the lake.
Examiner
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidate
Yeah, of course, because every park has its own special point. I'd love to see some parks with sea, sea view because I never been to 1 like this. I always just go to that one with lakes.
Examiner
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidate
Well, I'd love to try some parks in Switzerland because I've been heard that Switzerland is just so beautiful and wonderful in natural views and sceneries. So I always wanted to go hiking in these parks and I really wanna visit one day.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Make your answer more grammatically correct, concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms and articles (e.g., 'the park' → 'parks' or 'the park'), and avoid redundancy. Use one linking word to add a detail or reason. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. My parents often took me on picnics where we brought fruit and sandwiches, and we would relax on the grass. Those peaceful afternoons are one of my happiest childhood memories.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Fix grammar and sentence structure: use correct tense and combine short fragments into coherent sentences with linking words. Avoid repetition ('go out' and 'go to parks') and correct prepositions ('at university', 'by the lake'). Limit to 2–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks because they offer a calm contrast to busy city life. When I was at university in Shanghai, I often spent weekends in parks with my boyfriend, walking by the lake and relaxing together.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Make your point clearer and more precise. Correct phrases ('special point' → 'unique features', 'sea view', 'I have never been to one like that'). Use a linking word to explain why you want more parks and give a specific example. Keep it concise.
Example: Yes, I would. Every park has unique features, and I would particularly like more parks with sea views because I have never visited one; most of the parks near me have lakes instead.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Use correct expressions and avoid informal contractions ('wanna'). Correct passive phrasing ('I've heard'). Be specific about which parks or activities and link reason and plan. Keep to 2–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I would love to visit national parks in Switzerland because I have heard they are stunningly beautiful. I hope to go hiking there one day to enjoy the scenery and take photographs.
× Yes, I definitely loved going to park as a child because when I was younger my parents always take me to picnics and will buy a lot of fruits and sandwiches.
✓ Yes, I definitely loved going to the park as a child because when I was younger my parents always took me on picnics and would buy a lot of fruit and sandwiches.
Errors: missing definite article before 'park' and tense/agreement issues. Use 'the park' because we refer to parks in general as specific places visited; 'take' and 'will buy' should match past habitual action, so use past simple 'took' and 'would buy' (or 'bought'). Also 'fruits' is usually uncountable in this context; use 'fruit'. Suggestion: use 'the' for specific nouns and keep past tense consistent for past habits.
× Then we can chill at some grassland.
✓ Then we could chill on some grassland.
Error: tense/modal mismatch and preposition choice. The previous clause describes past habits, so use past modal 'could' instead of present 'can'. Also use preposition 'on' with 'grassland'. Suggestion: match tense and use correct preposition.
× So it was a very beautiful memory for me.
✓ So it was a very pleasant memory for me.
Error: word choice/style rather than strict grammar; 'beautiful memory' is acceptable but 'pleasant memory' or 'lovely memory' sounds more natural. Suggestion: prefer collocations commonly used with 'memory'.
× That's why I love the parks.
✓ That's why I loved the parks.
Error: tense inconsistency. The speaker is describing childhood preferences in past tense; keep past tense 'loved' to match prior sentences. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense when describing past experiences.
× Yeah, I absolutely still love going to parks now because it's just very different from busy city life.
✓ Yeah, I still absolutely love going to parks now because it's very different from busy city life.
Error: minor adverb order and redundancy. 'Absolutely still' is awkward; place 'still' before 'absolutely' or simply 'I still absolutely love'. Also 'just' is unnecessary. Suggestion: keep natural adverb order and avoid filler words.
× When I was take university in Shanghai.
✓ When I was at university in Shanghai.
Error: incorrect verb form and missing preposition. Use 'at university' to indicate attendance and no verb 'take'. Suggestion: use 'at university' or 'studying at university'.
× Every weekend I will go out and especially like having park dates with my boyfriend because we can chill at the park and just take a walk besides the lake.
✓ Every weekend I would go out and especially enjoyed having park dates with my boyfriend because we could chill in the park and just take a walk beside the lake.
Errors: tense and modal consistency for past habitual actions. Use 'would' or 'used to' for repeated past actions and past verbs ('enjoyed'). Prepositions: use 'in the park' and 'beside the lake' (not 'besides'). Suggestion: use past habitual constructions for past routines and correct prepositions.
× Yeah, of course, because every park has its own special point.
✓ Yeah, of course, because every park has its own special features.
Error: 'special point' is unnatural and unclear. Use 'special features' or 'characteristics'. Suggestion: choose appropriate noun collocations for meaning.
× I'd love to see some parks with sea, sea view because I never been to 1 like this.
✓ I'd love to see some parks by the sea, with a sea view, because I've never been to one like that.
Errors: article and preposition use and verb form. Use 'by the sea' or 'with a sea view'; 'never been' requires present perfect 'I've never been'; use numeral 'one' spelled out and 'that' for reference. Suggestion: use present perfect for life experiences and correct noun phrases.
× I always just go to that one with lakes.
✓ I have always just gone to the one with lakes.
Error: tense for life experience: use present perfect 'have gone' to show up to now, or say 'I always just went to the one with the lake' if referring to past routine. Also use 'the one with the lake' (singular) unless multiple lakes. Suggestion: choose present perfect for experiences or past simple for past routines and ensure noun number and articles match.
× Well, I'd love to try some parks in Switzerland because I've been heard that Switzerland is just so beautiful and wonderful in natural views and sceneries.
✓ Well, I'd love to try some parks in Switzerland because I've heard that Switzerland is very beautiful and has wonderful natural scenery.
Errors: incorrect passive 'I've been heard' should be 'I've heard'; awkward phrase 'wonderful in natural views and sceneries' should be 'wonderful natural scenery'. Suggestion: use active 'I've heard' and the uncountable noun 'scenery'.
× So I always wanted to go hiking in these parks and I really wanna visit one day.
✓ So I have always wanted to go hiking in those parks and I really want to visit one day.
Errors: tense and register. 'Always wanted' can be present perfect 'have always wanted' for ongoing desire. Use 'those' to refer to previously mentioned parks. 'Wanna' is informal; use 'want to'. Suggestion: use present perfect for continuing desires and avoid informal contractions in tests.
