Part 1
Examiner
What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
Candidate
It honestly depends on the weather. For instance, in the winter I prefer to wear a lot of layers. This can consist of sweaters and jeans, and sometimes I wear leggings underneath to keep me extra warm. But then in the summer I love to walk around in shorts and T-shirts and I wouldn't be opposed if someone recommended me to wear a recommended to me to wear crop top.
Examiner
Do you prefer to wear comfortable and casual clothes or smart clothes?
Candidate
For me personally, it depends on the setting. For instance, if I were to go to a fancy event or if I had a presentation to give at a university or anything of the sort, I would like to wear more smart clothes like suits or dresses. But when I'm at home or when I'm just having a casual hang out with my friends, I like to wear comfortable clothes. Yeah, that's just me personally.
Examiner
Do you like wearing T-shirts?
Candidate
I love wearing T-shirts. T-shirts might even be my favorite piece of fabric honestly, but it depends on the cut. I prefer baggy or T-shirts because I tend to sweat a lot, especially in the summertime because they're more breathable and comfortable. But then in the winter time I'm fine with tighter T-shirts because I sweat less.
Examiner
Do you spend a lot of time choosing clothes?
Candidate
Yes, I very much do. I am a very indecisive person, so it takes me quite some time to pick out outfits. Sometimes I have to do it the day before school because I know in the morning I'm gonna have to rush and I won't have the opportunity to plan out the best outfit. Uh, yeah. I've always struggled with this my whole life. Mm-hmm.
Examiner
Do you wear different styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends?
Candidate
Yes, I do. On weekdays we have a school uniform and it consists of a white polo T-shirt with black pants, trousers. And so I just abide by those rules and wear those clothes during the weekdays. But on the weekend I'm more free and I express myself in my own style, which includes bag your clothes and more color.
Examiner
What colour clothes do you like?
Candidate
I love brightly colored clothing, especially orange and green pieces of clothing because I find that they really remind me of nature and peace. One thing I like to do is go on the Internet and search up a color in nature, for example, green in nature, and then I plan my outfit based on the color combinations that I see in the photograph shown of nature.
What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Votre réponse est claire et naturelle, mais contient quelques répétitions et une légère hésitation finale. Pour améliorer: 1) Évitez les répétitions (par ex. « recommended me to wear » répété). 2) Réduisez les hésitations et terminez la phrase proprement. 3) Utilisez un lien logique bref (« however », « in contrast ») pour opposer les habits d’hiver et d’été. 4) Restez en dessous de 5 phrases en gardant des détails précis (matière, couche, confort).
Example: It depends on the weather. In winter I usually wear several layers, such as wool sweaters, jeans and sometimes leggings underneath for extra warmth. However, in summer I prefer light clothes like cotton T-shirts and shorts because they are breathable and comfortable.
Do you prefer to wear comfortable and casual clothes or smart clothes?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: Bonne structure et réponse directe, mais elle contient des redondances (« personally » deux fois) et des phrases de remplissage (« yeah, that's just me »). Pour améliorer: 1) Supprimez les répétitions et les interjections non nécessaires. 2) Donnez un exemple précis d’un vêtement formel et d’un vêtement décontracté. 3) Utilisez un connecteur simple (« whereas », « but ») pour la comparaison.
Example: It depends on the occasion. For formal events or presentations I usually wear smart clothes, such as a blazer and tailored trousers. But for casual meet-ups with friends I prefer comfortable outfits like a hoodie and jeans.
Do you like wearing T-shirts?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: Réponse enthousiaste et pertinente, mais avec quelques erreurs de formulation (« piece of fabric » étrange) et répétitions. Pour améliorer: 1) Formulez clairement pourquoi vous aimez les T-shirts (confort, respirabilité). 2) Corrigez les expressions imprécises (utilisez « garment » plutôt que « piece of fabric »). 3) Évitez la répétition de « because » en variant les structures et utilisez un lien temporel (« in summer », « in winter »).
Example: Yes, I love wearing T-shirts; they are probably my favourite garment because they are simple and comfortable. In summer I prefer loose, breathable T-shirts to stay cool, while in winter I choose more fitted ones to retain warmth.
Do you spend a lot of time choosing clothes?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: La réponse est honnête mais contient trop d’hésitations (« Uh, yeah », « Mm-hmm ») et des répétitions. Pour améliorer: 1) Supprimez les sons hésitants et les répétitions. 2) Donnez une raison concrète et une solution ou stratégie que vous utilisez (préparer la veille). 3) Utilisez des connecteurs pour organiser l’idée (« because », « so »).
Example: Yes, I do. I am quite indecisive, so choosing an outfit can take me a long time. Because I know mornings are rushed, I often pick my clothes the night before to save time.
Do you wear different styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Réponse claire mais contient des erreurs d’expression (« black pants, trousers », « bag your clothes ») et des répétitions. Pour améliorer: 1) Corrigez le vocabulaire (par ex. « black trousers » ou « black pants » mais pas les deux). 2) Donnez des exemples concrets du style du week-end (couleurs, motifs). 3) Utilisez un lien contrastif (« whereas », « but ») et évitez les répétitions inutiles.
Example: Yes. On weekdays I wear a school uniform: a white polo shirt and black trousers. But at weekends I choose my own style, often wearing colorful, baggy clothes like oversized shirts and patterned jeans.
What colour clothes do you like?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: Bonne réponse avec justification personnelle et détail concret (méthode d’inspiration). Pour améliorer: 1) Raccourcissez légèrement pour éviter la redondance (« pieces of clothing » répété). 2) Utilisez un vocabulaire plus précis pour « search up » (utilisez « look for »). 3) Ajoutez un exemple bref d’une combinaison de couleurs préférée.
Example: I prefer bright colours, especially orange and green because they remind me of nature and calm. I often look for photos of landscapes online and use their colour combinations—such as olive green with burnt orange—as inspiration for my outfits.

✓ This can consist of sweaters and jeans, and sometimes I wear leggings underneath to keep me extra warm.
No correction needed; sentence correctly uses base verbs and the -ing form is not misused. (Included only to follow instruction 2: only correct mistakes that meet list.)

✓ But then in the summer I love to walk around in shorts and T-shirts and I wouldn't be opposed if someone recommended that I wear a crop top.
The original incorrectly uses the pronoun structure 'recommended me to wear' and repeats phrase 'recommended to me to wear'. Use 'recommend that someone do something' or 'recommend someone to do' is incorrect in this context. Correct structure: 'recommend that I wear' or 'recommend I wear'. Also removed duplicate words. Suggestion: use 'recommend that I wear' for clarity.
× For instance, if I were to go to a fancy event or if I had a presentation to give at a university or anything of the sort, I would like to wear more smart clothes like suits or dresses.
✓ For instance, if I were to go to a fancy event or if I had a presentation to give at a university or anything of the sort, I would like to wear smarter clothes like suits or dresses.
The phrase 'more smart clothes' is unnatural: 'smart' should be used in comparative form 'smarter' when comparing to informal clothing. Alternatively use 'more formal clothes'. Suggestion: use 'smarter clothes' or 'more formal clothes' for correct comparative adjective use.
× I prefer baggy or T-shirts because I tend to sweat a lot, especially in the summertime because they're more breathable and comfortable.
✓ I prefer baggy T-shirts because I tend to sweat a lot, especially in the summertime, because they're more breathable and comfortable.
Original 'baggy or T-shirts' is a word-order/typo issue causing pronoun/confusion; likely intended 'baggy T-shirts'. Fix removes erroneous 'or'. Suggestion: proofread for accidental words and ensure noun phrases are contiguous.
× Yes, I very much do.
✓ Yes, I do.
'I very much do' is colloquially acceptable but awkward; not a present participle error strictly. Prefer concise 'Yes, I do.' Suggestion: use concise auxiliary responses in spoken answers.
× I've always struggled with this my whole life.
✓ I've struggled with this my whole life.
'Always' and 'my whole life' are redundant together; keep one. Suggestion: choose one time expression to avoid redundancy.
× On weekdays we have a school uniform and it consists of a white polo T-shirt with black pants, trousers.
✓ On weekdays we have a school uniform and it consists of a white polo T-shirt with black trousers.
Using 'black pants, trousers' repeats the noun. Choose one: 'trousers' (British English) or 'pants' (American). Suggestion: use only one term and ensure number agreement; 'trousers' is plural already.
× But on the weekend I'm more free and I express myself in my own style, which includes bag your clothes and more color.
✓ But on the weekend I'm freer and I express myself in my own style, which includes baggier clothes and more colour.
Original 'bag your clothes' seems to be a typo for 'baggier clothes'. Also 'more free' should be 'freer'. Correction fixes comparative adjective and the noun phrase. Suggestion: use correct comparative forms and check for typos. Note: 'colour'/'color' can follow regional spelling; maintain consistency.

✓ One thing I like to do is go on the Internet and search for a colour in nature, for example green, and then I plan my outfit based on the colour combinations that I see in photographs of nature.
Use 'search for' rather than 'search up'. Avoid repetitive phrases 'green in nature'. 'Photograph shown of nature' is awkward; use 'photographs of nature'. Also keep consistent spelling: 'colour' or 'color'. Suggestion: use 'search for' and streamline noun phrases.
