Examiner
What type of headphones do you use?
Candidate
That's an interesting question, but like, I don't use headphones so when I'm trying to avoid the noises that are around me and trying to focus more on what I'm hearing, I normally use Airpods. This is because it's more more than nowadays and I can walk around with them anyway. Maybe I'm travelling, going to town or something. I can walk around with airports than headphones.
Examiner
When would you use headphones?
Candidate
Like I mentioned before, I usually use headphones mainly when I'm doing chores. This is because when I'm listening to music, I wanted to get inside to sync inside my brain. I wanted. I want to feel everywhere, I want to hear every single word that I'm hearing and it makes me focus more and do my work faster without getting any distractions from my siblings or any.
Examiner
In what conditions would you not use headphones?
Candidate
Normally I would never use headphones when ionem sitting with my family. Let's say for example, was sitting in the dining or in the lounge together as a family and we're talking stories. Even if I'm not participating, I feel like it's more moral for me not to wear headphones 'cause I feel like it's disrespectful to the elders that are speaking when.
Examiner
Is wearing headphones comfortable?
Candidate
Not really, wearing headphones is not comfortable. And umm, speaking on behalf of myself personally, for someone who doesn't wear headphones and who wears Airpods, they're very irritating at times, especially when the music is loud or when the volume is loud. They're very uncomfortable. Sometimes when I use Airpods my ears start hurting after.

Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then give one clear reason and a brief example. Avoid repetition ("loud" twice) and filler words ("umm"). Use precise adjectives (e.g., "uncomfortable" or "irritating") and a linking word like "because" to connect cause and effect.
Example: Not really — I find AirPods uncomfortable because they irritate my ears when I listen at high volume. For example, after about an hour my ears start to hurt, so I often take them out.
× I don't usually use headphones, but when iTunes necessary to I do use headphones.
✓ I don't usually use headphones, but when it is necessary I do use them.
The sentence uses 'iTunes' incorrectly instead of 'it is' and repeats 'headphones' unnecessarily. Replace 'iTunes necessary to' with 'it is necessary' and use the pronoun 'them' to refer back to 'headphones' to avoid repetition and ensure correct pronoun reference.
× This is only when it's necessary, not every time and the times that I can't necessary these are like very few times, maybe in the morning, mostly when I'm working or just doing chores in the.
✓ This is only when it's necessary, not every time; the times I can't use them are very few, maybe in the morning, mostly when I'm working or doing chores.
The original has mixed fragments and incorrect wording ('can't necessary' and trailing 'in the.'). Rephrase to a single coherent sentence, replace 'can't necessary' with 'can't use them', remove the extra 'in the', and use a semicolon or commas to connect clauses clearly.
× That's an interesting question, but like, I don't use headphones so when I'm trying to avoid the noises that are around me and trying to focus more on what I'm hearing, I normally use Airpods.
✓ That's an interesting question, but I don't usually use headphones; when I want to avoid surrounding noise and focus on what I'm hearing, I normally use AirPods.
Use 'usually' for frequency, 'surrounding noise' is more natural than 'the noises that are around me', and 'AirPods' capitalization is standardized. Also use a semicolon to connect related thoughts and improve sentence flow.
× This is because it's more more than nowadays and I can walk around with them anyway.
✓ This is because they're more convenient nowadays and I can walk around with them easily.
The phrase 'more more than nowadays' is ungrammatical. Replace with 'more convenient nowadays' and use 'easily' instead of 'anyway' for adverbial clarity. Also match plural 'they're' to 'AirPods'.
× Maybe I'm travelling, going to town or something. I can walk around with airports than headphones.
✓ Maybe when I'm travelling or going to town, I can walk around with AirPods rather than headphones.
The second sentence misuses 'airports' instead of 'AirPods' and has incorrect comparative structure. Combine into one sentence and use 'rather than' for comparison.
× Like I mentioned before, I usually use headphones mainly when I'm doing chores.
✓ Like I mentioned before, I usually use headphones mainly when I'm doing chores.
This sentence is acceptable but flagged for present tense review; the present progressive 'I'm doing' correctly indicates current habitual situations, so no grammatical change is necessary.
× This is because when I'm listening to music, I wanted to get inside to sync inside my brain.
✓ This is because when I'm listening to music, I want to get inside my head and sync it with the music.
The original mixes present progressive ('I'm listening') with past tense 'wanted'. Use present 'want' to match the ongoing action. 'Get inside to sync inside my brain' is awkward; replace with 'get inside my head and sync it with the music' for clarity.
× I wanted. I want to feel everywhere, I want to hear every single word that I'm hearing and it makes me focus more and do my work faster without getting any distractions from my siblings or any.
✓ I want to feel immersed; I want to hear every single word so it helps me focus and finish my work faster without distractions from my siblings or others.
The original contains sentence fragments ('I wanted.') and repetitive phrasing. Combine ideas into coherent sentences, replace 'feel everywhere' with 'feel immersed', and use 'others' instead of unfinished 'any'.
× Normally I would never use headphones when ionem sitting with my family.
✓ Normally I would never use headphones when I'm sitting with my family.
'ionem' appears to be a typo for 'I'm'. Correct to 'I'm' (I am) to form the present progressive and make the sentence grammatical.
× Let's say for example, was sitting in the dining or in the lounge together as a family and we're talking stories.
✓ Let's say, for example, we were sitting in the dining room or the lounge together as a family and telling stories.
Use past tense 'we were sitting' for the hypothetical past scenario and use 'telling stories' instead of 'we're talking stories'. Also add 'room' after 'dining' and correct punctuation.
× Even if I'm not participating, I feel like it's more moral for me not to wear headphones 'cause I feel like it's disrespectful to the elders that are speaking when.
✓ Even if I'm not participating, I feel it's more polite not to wear headphones because it would be disrespectful to the elders who are speaking.
Replace 'more moral' with 'more polite' for natural collocation, use 'because' instead of informal ''cause', and 'who are speaking' instead of trailing 'when'. Also 'elders' is fine but 'the elders' or 'elderly family members' may be more precise.
× Not really, wearing headphones is not comfortable.
✓ Not really; wearing headphones is not comfortable.
The sentence is grammatical; change comma to semicolon for smoother connection. No article error, but punctuation improves clarity.
× And umm, speaking on behalf of myself personally, for someone who doesn't wear headphones and who wears Airpods, they're very irritating at times, especially when the music is loud or when the volume is loud.
✓ Speaking for myself, as someone who doesn't usually wear headphones but does wear AirPods, they can be very irritating at times, especially when the music is loud.
Simplify 'speaking on behalf of myself personally' to 'speaking for myself', and avoid repetition 'music is loud or when the volume is loud'. Use 'AirPods' and ensure pronoun 'they' correctly refers to AirPods.
× They're very uncomfortable. Sometimes when I use Airpods my ears start hurting after.
✓ They're very uncomfortable. Sometimes when I use AirPods, my ears start hurting afterward.
Add a comma after the dependent clause and use 'afterward' (or 'after a while') rather than 'after' to complete the thought. Also capitalize 'AirPods'.
