What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: Be more concise and accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitations and unclear phrases (e.g., “I recommend myself as a SIM”), and limit to 3–4 sentences. Add a specific detail or brief example about fabrics or favorite T-shirt styles to enrich the answer.
Example: I usually wear T-shirts because they are comfortable and easy to match. If it is cold, I layer a hoodie or a light jacket over the T-shirt. I prefer cotton T-shirts, especially plain or lightly patterned ones, because they are breathable and last long.
Do you prefer to wear comfortable and casual clothes or smart clothes?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: Good structure but reduce hesitations and redundancy. Begin with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give a brief condition and one specific example of when you wear smart clothes. Use a linking word (e.g., “however” or “but”) correctly and avoid repeating phrases.
Example: I prefer comfortable, casual clothes for most of the time. However, if I have a job interview or formal meeting, I wear smart clothes such as a shirt and trousers to look professional.
Do you like wearing T-shirts?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be clearer and correct grammar. Give one specific reason and one example rather than repeating words. Replace informal fillers and fix phrases like “collect different graph” to “collect graphic T-shirts.” Keep the response to 2–3 sentences.
Example: Yes, I love wearing T-shirts because they are comfortable and reflect my style. I collect graphic T-shirts from different brands, especially those with music or travel designs.
Do you spend a lot of time choosing clothes?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: Avoid fillers and be more precise. State your main point first, then give one clear reason and a concise result. Improve grammar (“dark color” → “dark colors”) and avoid repeating ideas.
Example: No, I don't spend much time choosing clothes because I prefer dark colors and simple outfits. This makes it quicker to decide what to wear and helps me save money.
Do you wear different styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Provide a clearer contrast with linking words and one specific example of different styles. Remove hesitations and shorten the answer to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words like “whereas” or “but” to show contrast.
Example: On weekdays I wear simple, practical clothes like T-shirts and jeans because I'm at school. But on weekends, if I'm meeting friends, I might dress a bit nicer, for example wearing a smart shirt or a jacket.
What colour clothes do you like?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: Good specific detail. Reduce fillers and make sentences more fluent. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and maybe add a short reason why you prefer dark colors to strengthen the response.

× Umm for me, I recommend myself as a SIM quite simple person so usually I wear T-shirt all the time no matter it's hot or cold outside.
✓ Umm for me, I would describe myself as a quite simple person, so usually I wear T-shirts all the time no matter if it's hot or cold outside.
The original uses 'recommend myself as' and 'myself' incorrectly; 'describe myself' is the appropriate verb. 'SIM' appears to be a typo. Also 'T-shirt' should be plural 'T-shirts' when speaking generally. Use 'if' after 'no matter' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'describe myself' and pluralize general nouns.
× Uh, if it's cold outside I'll just add another hoodie outside, but usually just a T-shirt.
✓ Uh, if it's cold outside I'll just add another hoodie, but usually just a T-shirt.
The repetition of 'outside' is unnecessary. No plural error here beyond redundancy; sentence corrected for natural phrasing. Keep 'T-shirt' singular when referring to what you wear at that moment.
× I think it depends, but personally I prefer to wear comfortable shirts during my weekend and weekdays.
✓ I think it depends, but personally I prefer to wear comfortable shirts on weekends and weekdays.
Use the preposition 'on' with 'weekends' and 'weekdays'. Plural 'weekends'/'weekdays' is natural when speaking generally. Suggestion: use 'on weekends and weekdays'.
× However, if I really need to attend to a professional appointment or activity, I'll prefer to wear smart clothes, but usually umm, casual clothes for myself.
✓ However, if I really need to attend a professional appointment or activity, I prefer to wear smart clothes; usually, I wear casual clothes.
'Attend to' is incorrect with 'appointment' here; use 'attend'. 'I'll prefer' is unnatural: preference is present tense ('I prefer'). Also simplify clause order and remove 'for myself'. Suggestion: use 'I prefer' and 'attend'.
× Yes, just like I have mentioned, I do love T-shirts.
✓ Yes, as I mentioned, I do love T-shirts.
Use 'as I mentioned' for more natural past reference. 'Just like I have mentioned' is wordy and nonstandard. Present perfect is unnecessary here.
× I got a lot of T-shirts from different kind of brands 'cause I'm kind of like the person who like to like collect different graph on the T-shirts.
✓ I have a lot of T-shirts from different kinds of brands because I'm the kind of person who likes to collect different graphics on the T-shirts.
Multiple errors: use present perfect 'have' rather than simple past 'got' for possession; 'different kind of brands' should be 'different kinds of brands'; informal ' 'cause' -> 'because'; 'I'm kind of like the person' should be 'I'm the kind of person'; subject-verb agreement 'who likes'; 'collect different graph' should be 'collect different graphics'. Suggestion: simplify and correct subject-verb agreement and noun forms.
× Umm, to be honest, I don't think I spend a lot of time on choosing clothes.
✓ Umm, to be honest, I don't think I spend a lot of time choosing clothes.
When using 'spend time', the verb that follows should be the gerund without a preposition: 'spend time choosing', not 'spend time on choosing'. Remove 'on'.
× Umm, since I am a very simple person, I usually only wear dark color, which can help me to reduce the time to choose clothes and reduce a lot of money from it.
✓ Umm, since I am a very simple person, I usually only wear dark colors, which helps me reduce the time spent choosing clothes and save a lot of money.
Use plural 'dark colors' when speaking generally. 'Reduce the time to choose clothes' is unnatural; use 'reduce the time spent choosing clothes'. 'Reduce a lot of money from it' is incorrect: use 'save a lot of money'. Suggestion: adjust quantifier plurality and idiomatic verbs.
× Umm for the weekday, since I have to spend most of my time in school, I usually don't spend a lot of time on picking clothes, but on the weekend if I have an appointment with my friends and I'll spend more time on it.
✓ Umm, on weekdays, since I have to spend most of my time at school, I usually don't spend a lot of time picking clothes, but on the weekend, if I have an appointment with my friends, I will spend more time on it.
Use 'on weekdays' (plural) and 'at school' is the correct preposition. Remove 'on' before 'picking clothes' as 'spend time picking' is correct. Fix clause linking: include commas and change 'and I'll' to 'I will' as the conditional result. Suggestion: reorganize sentence for clarity and correct prepositions.
× Umm, I like most of the dark colors, for example, Navy, dark grey, brown, especially black, which is, uh, the color that I like the most.
✓ Umm, I like mostly dark colors, for example navy, dark grey, and brown, especially black, which is the color I like the most.
'I like most of the dark colors' is awkward; use 'I like mostly dark colors' or 'I like most dark colors'. Capitalization: 'navy' is not a proper noun here. Remove filler words and extra commas. Suggestion: use 'mostly' and correct list punctuation.
× And I would like to share that more than 80% of my clothes and pants are black.
✓ And I would like to say that more than 80% of my clothes and pants are black.
'Share that' is odd in this context; 'say that' is more natural. 'Clothes and pants' is redundant—'clothes' includes 'pants'. Better: 'more than 80% of my clothes are black' or 'more than 80% of my pants are black'. Suggestion: avoid redundancy and choose the correct collective noun.
