Part 1

Do you use headphones?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Begin with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct grammar (plural/singular, verb forms), and limit to 3–4 well-linked sentences. Add one specific example of what you listen to or when you use them to enrich your answer.

Example: Yes, I use headphones every day. For example, I listen to podcasts or pop music on my commute to work to help me wake up and stay focused. I also wear them sometimes while studying or exercising because they help me concentrate.

What type of headphones do you use?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Correct comparative structures and verb tenses, and avoid repetition. Start with a clear preference sentence, then give two concise reasons with linking words (for example, because/so). Use specific vocabulary like “earbuds,” “fit securely,” and “mobility.”

Example: I prefer wireless earbuds to wired headphones because they are more convenient and fit securely. For example, when I exercise they don’t tangle or restrict my movements, so I can focus on my workout.

When would you use headphones?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Avoid fillers and awkward phrasing. Give a clear topic sentence about typical times you use headphones, then provide specific details (what you listen to and why). Use linking words (for example, because/so) and correct collocations (e.g., “energize me” not “energize myself”).

Example: I usually use headphones while commuting in the morning because I listen to upbeat music to energize me for the day. I also wear them when I study to block out noise and concentrate better.

In what conditions would you not use headphones?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: This answer is generally clear but needs conciseness and minor grammar fixes (e.g., “so that I am not distracted”). Start with a topic sentence, then give two short, specific examples and a linking phrase to explain why.

Example: I avoid wearing headphones in situations where I need to be alert, for example when crossing the road or when my bus is approaching my stop, because I need to hear traffic and announcements.

Is wearing headphones comfortable?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Improve clarity, grammar and vocabulary. Use one clear topic sentence about general comfort, then give a specific reason and an exception. Avoid vague phrases and incorrect words (e.g., “ear box size” unclear). Mention specific features (e.g., silicone tips, adjustable headband) and use correct grammar.

Example: Generally, headphones are comfortable because many models have soft silicone tips and adjustable bands to fit different ear shapes. However, they can feel uncomfortable during intense exercise because sweat can make them slip or irritate my ears.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× Yes, I always use headphone.

Yes, I always use headphones.

The noun 'headphone' should be plural 'headphones' because it refers to a pair or multiple items worn over both ears. Use plural when referring to the common device that comes as two ear pieces.

Present tense issue

× I use headphones every morning before I travelling to work.

I use headphones every morning before I travel to work.

After 'before' use the base form (simple present) for routine events: 'I travel'. 'Travelling' is a present participle and incorrect here. Use simple present to match habitual action.

Present tense issue

× Also sometimes I use headphones during studying or working.

Also, sometimes I use headphones while studying or working.

Use 'while' + present participle ('studying'/'working') to indicate simultaneous actions. 'During' should be followed by a noun ('during study' is awkward), so 'while studying' is more natural.

Sentence structure errors

× Sometimes I use headphones.

Sometimes I use headphones.

No grammatical change required; sentence is grammatical. Included here to acknowledge it is correct and fits context.

Present participle issue

× Uh, when I'm doing exercise, using headphones helps me stay focused.

When I'm exercising, using headphones helps me stay focused.

Use 'exercising' (present participle) instead of 'doing exercise' for more natural phrasing. Both forms are grammatical, but 'exercising' is smoother in spoken English.

Verb in the present participle form

× I prefer using wireless earbuds than the wired one because I found them more convenient and handy.

I prefer wireless earbuds to wired ones because I find them more convenient and handy.

Use 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A than B'. Match number: 'wired ones' (plural) to agree with 'earbuds'. Use present simple 'find' for general opinions rather than past 'found'.

Present tense issue

× They were super useful while I'm while I'm doing exercise because they stay in place, don't get in the way, and provide greater freedom of movements.

They are super useful when I'm exercising because they stay in place, don't get in the way, and provide greater freedom of movement.

Use present simple 'are' for general truths instead of past 'were'. Replace 'while I'm while I'm doing exercise' with 'when I'm exercising' to avoid repetition. Use 'freedom of movement' (uncountable) rather than 'movements'.

Singular and plural issue

× They're much more practical than wired headphones.

They're much more practical than wired headphones.

Sentence is correct; included to confirm proper plural usage and comparison.

Singular and plural issue

× As I mentioned, I would use earphone while I am commuting.

As I mentioned, I use earphones while I am commuting.

Use plural 'earphones' (or 'headphones') for the device and simple present 'use' to describe regular habit rather than conditional 'would use'.

Present tense issue

× Every morning before I go to work, I use headphones to listen to music to boost myself, boost my mood and energize myself.

Every morning before I go to work, I use headphones to listen to music to boost my mood and energize myself.

Remove redundant 'boost myself'; use 'boost my mood' and 'energize myself' for clarity and parallel structure.

Future tense issue

× Uh, I will listen to some relaxing soft music to motivate my energy.

I listen to some soft, relaxing music to lift my energy.

For habitual morning routine, use present simple 'I listen' not 'I will listen'. 'Motivate my energy' is unnatural; use 'lift my energy' or 'boost my energy'. Also use adjective order 'soft, relaxing'.

Incorrect use of conjunctions

× I think when the conditions are unsafe and I need to stay aware of my surroundings, For example, when I'm crossing the road or when I'm taking the bus and it's near my stop, I need to pay extra attention to my surroundings so that I cannot be distracted by the music from headphones or the podcast I'm listening from the headphones.

I think when conditions are unsafe and I need to stay aware of my surroundings. For example, when I'm crossing the road or when I'm on the bus and approaching my stop, I need to pay extra attention so I won't be distracted by music or a podcast playing through my headphones.

Split the long sentence for clarity. Remove unnecessary 'the' before 'conditions'. Use 'on the bus' and 'approaching my stop' for natural phrasing. Use 'so I won't be distracted' rather than 'so that I cannot be distracted' to express purpose/result. Use 'playing through my headphones' instead of 'listening from the headphones'.

Article errors

× Most of the time I think wearing headphones is comfortable since there are different models in the market for customers to choose on the one they love and fits their ears.

Most of the time I think wearing headphones is comfortable since there are different models on the market for customers to choose the one they like that fits their ears.

Use 'on the market' not 'in the market'. Change 'choose on the one they love' to 'choose the one they like'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'that fits their ears' modifies 'one'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Also there are different year box size uh they can choose that fit in the shape of their ears.

Also, there are different earbud sizes they can choose that fit the shape of their ears.

'Year box size' is incorrect; likely 'earbud sizes'. Use plural 'sizes' and 'fit the shape of their ears' for clarity. Add comma after 'Also'.

Present participle issue

× However, it feels uncomfortable when I'm doing exercise, it becomes sweaty.

However, it feels uncomfortable when I'm exercising because my ears become sweaty.

Replace 'doing exercise' with 'exercising' for natural phrasing. Clarify subject: 'it becomes sweaty' is vague; specify 'my ears become sweaty'. Use 'because' to connect cause and effect.
