Part 1

Examiner

Do you use headphones?

Candidate

Yes of course that phone I use is come from Apple and it called Airport. I receive it on my birthday and it from my mom gave me.

Examiner

What type of headphones do you use?

Candidate

The type I have, all that I use is wireless headphones. I feel wireless headphone is more convenient than the uh, wire headphone, and it's more easy to connect when I go somewhere else and I don't need to carry a whole while.

Examiner

When would you use headphones?

Candidate

Are you headphone? I want use headphone when I am study or doing uh my work. Uh, this is because using headphone make me feel focused and I can uh not easily distract from all the noise.

Examiner

In what conditions would you not use headphones?

Candidate

I think that when you communicate, communicating with other people, uh, this is because, uh, you can show them respect and listen to what they say and can respond them. And if you listen to music when another speaking, uh, you don't know, you don't know what they're saying.

Examiner

Is wearing headphones comfortable?

Candidate

Well I usually find wearing over ear headphone is comfortable because they have soft cushion and reduced background noise so I can focus. But if I wear earphones for a long time they can make my ears sore. For example up a few hours of listening on a long trip.

Part 1

Do you use headphones?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Speak more clearly and directly to the question. Start with a simple topic sentence saying whether you use headphones, then give one or two specific details (brand, when you got them) using correct grammar. Avoid redundant words and fix basic grammar (e.g., 'the phone I use is from Apple and it's called AirPods').

Example: Yes, I do. The headphones I use are Apple AirPods, which my mother gave me for my birthday last year. They are compact and pair easily with my phone, so I use them almost every day.

What type of headphones do you use?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence naming the type. Use linking words (because, so) and give a specific reason or example. Avoid filler sounds and correct grammar (e.g., 'more convenient than wired ones' and 'I don't need to carry cables').

Example: I use wireless headphones. I find them more convenient than wired ones because they connect quickly to my phone and I don't have to deal with tangled cables when I travel.

When would you use headphones?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific context and reason using linking words. Correct verb forms and article usage (e.g., 'when I study' and 'headphones make me feel focused'). Remove unnecessary fillers.

Example: I usually use headphones when I study or work. For example, when I'm revising for exams, wearing them helps me concentrate because they block out background noise.

In what conditions would you not use headphones?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Start with a direct statement such as 'I wouldn't wear headphones during conversations.' Then give clear reasons using linking words (because, so) and a short example. Correct grammar (e.g., 'respond to them' and 'when someone else is speaking').

Example: I wouldn't wear headphones during conversations with other people because it is rude and prevents me from hearing them. For instance, I always take off my headphones when my colleagues ask me a question.

Is wearing headphones comfortable?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Answer with a clear topic sentence, then contrast different types using linking words (however, but). Provide a specific example and correct phrasing (e.g., 'over-ear headphones have soft cushions and reduce background noise' and 'in-ear earphones can make my ears sore after several hours').

Example: I find over-ear headphones comfortable because their soft cushions reduce background noise and help me focus. However, in-ear earphones can make my ears sore if I wear them for several hours, such as on a long flight.

Grammar

22: Article errors

× Yes of course that phone I use is come from Apple and it called Airport.

Yes, of course. The phone I use comes from Apple and it's called AirPods.

Errors: missing articles and wrong product name form; incorrect verb tense/form. 'That phone' is awkward; use 'The phone'. 'I use is come from Apple' should be 'comes from Apple' (subject-verb agreement and present simple). 'it called Airport' needs passive/linking verb 'it's called' and correct product name 'AirPods'. Suggestion: use 'The' for specific items, match subject and verb in present simple, and use correct product names.

5: Past tense issue

× I receive it on my birthday and it from my mom gave me.

I received it on my birthday; my mom gave it to me.

Errors: wrong verb tense and incorrect word order. 'Receive' should be past tense 'received' to match 'on my birthday'. 'it from my mom gave me' is ungrammatical; correct order is 'my mom gave it to me'. Suggestion: use past tense for completed actions and follow Subject-Verb-Object order, placing indirect object with 'to' when needed.

1: Singular and plural issue

× The type I have, all that I use is wireless headphones.

The type I have and use is wireless headphones.

Issue: sentence structure and plurality. 'The type ... is wireless headphones' is acceptable but original had extra words 'all that I use' causing awkwardness. Maintain singular 'type' with clarification. Suggestion: simplify to 'The type I have and use is wireless headphones.'

1: Singular and plural issue

× I feel wireless headphone is more convenient than the uh, wire headphone, and it's more easy to connect when I go somewhere else and I don't need to carry a whole while.

I feel wireless headphones are more convenient than wired headphones, and they're easier to connect when I go somewhere, so I don't need to carry them around.

Errors: singular/plural mismatch ('headphone' should be 'headphones'), comparative form ('more easy' should be 'easier'), wrong adjective for wired ('wire headphone' -> 'wired headphones'), and unclear phrase 'carry a whole while' should be 'carry them around'. Suggestion: match plural nouns with plural verbs, use comparative adjective 'easier', and use correct adjective 'wired'.

24: Direct and indirect speech errors

× Are you headphone? I want use headphone when I am study or doing uh my work.

Do you mean headphones? I want to use headphones when I study or do my work.

Errors: 'Are you headphone?' is illogical; likely meant 'Do you mean headphones?'. Missing infinitive 'to' in 'want to use'. Verb forms: 'when I am study' should be 'when I study' or 'when I am studying'. Suggestion: use 'want to' + verb, and use simple present 'study' for habitual actions.

8: Verb + -ing form

× Uh, this is because using headphone make me feel focused and I can uh not easily distract from all the noise.

This is because using headphones makes me feel focused and I am not easily distracted by all the noise.

Errors: subject-verb agreement ('using headphones makes' not 'make'), missing passive/adjective form 'distracted' instead of 'distract', and preposition 'by' required ('distracted by the noise'). Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject, use '-ed' form for being affected, and include correct prepositions.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× I think that when you communicate, communicating with other people, uh, this is because, uh, you can show them respect and listen to what they say and can respond them.

I think that when you are communicating with other people, you can show them respect, listen to what they say, and respond to them.

Errors: missing auxiliary 'are' for progressive 'are communicating'; missing preposition 'to' in 'respond to them'. Suggestion: use 'are communicating' for ongoing actions and include 'respond to' when indicating the person receiving the response.

6: Present tense issue

× And if you listen to music when another speaking, uh, you don't know, you don't know what they're saying.

And if you listen to music when another person is speaking, you won't know what they're saying.

Errors: missing noun 'person' after 'another', missing auxiliary 'is' for 'is speaking', and tense/meaning: use future/modal 'won't' to indicate consequence. Suggestion: include the noun, use progressive for simultaneous action, and use appropriate modal for the result.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Well I usually find wearing over ear headphone is comfortable because they have soft cushion and reduced background noise so I can focus.

Well, I usually find wearing over-ear headphones comfortable because they have soft cushions and reduce background noise, so I can focus.

Errors: 'over ear' should be hyphenated 'over-ear'; 'headphone' should be plural 'headphones'; 'soft cushion' plural 'cushions'; 'reduced background noise' better as 'reduce background noise' to describe what they do. Suggestion: use correct compound adjective form, plural nouns for countable items, and parallel verb phrases.

5: Past tense issue

× But if I wear earphones for a long time they can make my ears sore. For example up a few hours of listening on a long trip.

But if I wear earphones for a long time, they can make my ears sore. For example, after a few hours of listening on a long trip.

Errors: awkward phrase 'up a few hours'; use 'after a few hours' to indicate time elapsed. Also add comma after introductory clause. Suggestion: use 'after' for elapsed time and punctuate clauses for clarity.
