Part 1

Are you interested in news?

Score: 48.0

Suggestion: Your answer communicates interest and gives a reason, which is good. However there are several pronunciation/word choice errors and an irrelevant phrase (“fat pay sport”) that make it unclear. Keep sentences concise (max 5), use correct collocations (e.g. “in today's world/society”), and avoid unnecessary filler. Also add one specific example to support your reason.

Example: Yes, I'm quite interested in news because it helps me understand global events and different perspectives. For example, I follow international politics to see how decisions affect the economy, which helps me discuss topics with my colleagues.

How do you usually find news?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Good structure and clear method. Improve by correcting minor grammar and word choice: use “and” not “and or”, “apps” is fine, and fix verb forms: “when a major story breaks”. Add a brief specific example of an app or a type of notification to make it more concrete and natural.

Example: I usually read news through apps on my phone, especially Twitter and BBC News. Because of push notifications, I get alerts when a major story breaks, so I can quickly read the full article.

Would you like to be a journalist?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: The main idea is clear (you would not like to be a journalist) but sentence structure, word choice and grammar are incorrect and confusing. Use one clear topic sentence, then give concise reasons with correct collocations: “a demanding and stressful profession,” and avoid extra words like “why I admit.” Keep to fewer sentences and provide one specific reason or example.

Example: No, I wouldn't like to be a journalist because the job is very demanding and stressful. For example, journalists often work long hours and must meet tight deadlines, which I don't prefer.

Have you read the news this morning?

Score: 28.0

Suggestion: Your answer is short and attempts to give a routine, but contains many errors and unclear phrases (“Why?”, “morn my morning coffee”, “It's a hard week”, “I've developed a stomach day”). Keep it simple: one topic sentence confirming, one supporting detail describing what you read and when. Use clear time phrases and concrete details.

Example: Yes, I read the news this morning while drinking my coffee. I skimmed headlines about the local economy and a new business report that may affect prices in our city.

Do you often talk with your friends about the news?

Score: 34.0

Suggestion: You answer the question but grammar, word choice and coherence are weak (“of our are”, “pros perspective”, “railway”, “word”). Use a clear topic sentence and one or two specific examples of topics you discuss. Use linking words like “for example” or “when” to make it coherent.

Example: Occasionally, yes. When there is a significant event or a controversial issue, my friends and I discuss it to share different perspectives. For example, we recently talked about new transport fares and how they affect students.

Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It helps me broaden my horizons and understand what's happening globally, which I think is essential in today's fat pay sport.

It helps me broaden my horizons and understand what's happening globally, which I think is essential in today's fast-paced world.

The student used incorrect words ('fat pay sport') that do not make sense in context. This is an incorrect use of words functioning as adjectives/nouns. Replace with the idiomatic adjective phrase 'fast-paced' and the appropriate noun 'world' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: learn common collocations like 'fast-paced world'.

Verb in the past participle form

× I mostly get my daily dose of news through social media platforms and or special apps on my phone.

I mostly get my daily dose of news through social media platforms or special apps on my phone.

The problem is the incorrect use of 'and or' which is a word-choice/structure error; it should be either 'or' or 'and'. This fits under sentence-structure/word-choice but is best treated as a verb phrase/structure error related to conjunction use; however, per the allowed list, correct by removing 'and'. Suggestion: use either 'and' or 'or' depending on meaning; here 'or' is natural.

Present tense issue

× It's incredibly convenient because I can receive instant notifications whenever a major story break.

It's incredibly convenient because I can receive instant notifications whenever a major story breaks.

The verb 'break' needs the third-person singular present form 'breaks' to agree with 'a major story'. This is a present-tense/subject-verb agreement issue. Suggestion: for singular third-person subjects in simple present, add -s to the verb.

Sentence structure errors

× Not really why I admit journalists for their dedication.

Not really. I admire journalists for their dedication.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and missing connectors and correct verbs. 'Why I admit' is incorrect; the intended meaning is 'I admire'. This is a sentence-structure error. Suggestion: ensure complete clauses with subject and correct verb; use 'admire' to express respect.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I think the professionals quite demanding and stressful.

I think the profession is quite demanding and stressful.

The student used 'professionals' (people) and then adjectives without a verb; the intended subject is 'profession' (the job) and it needs a linking verb 'is'. This is incorrect adjective use and sentence structure. Suggestion: use correct noun 'profession' and include 'is' to link to adjectives.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I prefer consuming news at a hobby rather than making it a full time carries.

I prefer consuming news as a hobby rather than making it a full-time career.

Several word-choice errors: 'at a hobby' should be 'as a hobby', 'full time' should be hyphenated 'full-time' when used as an adjective, and 'carries' is incorrect for 'career'. This falls under quantifier/word-choice category. Suggestion: learn fixed prepositions ('as a hobby') and compound adjective hyphenation for clarity.

Present perfect/past tense issue

× Yes, I have. Why? Having a morn my morning coffee, I spend a few minutes skimming through some headlines about the local economy.

Yes, I have. While having my morning coffee, I spend a few minutes skimming through some headlines about the local economy.

The phrase 'Having a morn my morning coffee' is ungrammatical; correct structure is 'While having my morning coffee'. This is a tense/structure error. Suggestion: use 'while' or 'when' + present continuous/simple to describe habitual actions.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It's a hard week.

It's been a hard week.

To convey that the current week has been difficult up to now, the present perfect 'has been' is appropriate. Using simple present 'is' with 'week' is less natural here. This is a tense/adverbial time reference issue. Suggestion: use 'has been' for experiences extending to the present.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I've developed a stomach day in a productive way.

I've developed a stomachache today, which made the day less productive.

Original sentence is nonsensical: 'developed a stomach day in a productive way'. Likely intended 'developed a stomachache today' and that it affected productivity. This is incorrect word choice and sentence structure. Suggestion: choose correct noun 'stomachache' and clearly state its effect on the day.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Occasionally, yes, if there's a particularly controversial topic of our are a significant event, my friends and I usually discuss it to exchange our pros perspective.

Occasionally, yes. If there's a particularly controversial topic or a significant event, my friends and I usually discuss it to exchange our perspectives.

Multiple issues: 'of our are' is garbled; should be 'or a'. 'pros perspective' is incorrect; should be 'perspectives'. This is primarily incorrect preposition/word choice and pluralization. Suggestion: ensure conjunctions ('or') are used correctly and pluralize 'perspective' when referring to multiple people.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It's a railway to stay engaged with the word.

It's a way to stay engaged with the world.

'Railway' and 'word' are wrong word choices here; intended meaning is 'way' and 'world'. This is incorrect word usage/adjective choice. Suggestion: use the correct collocations: 'a way to stay engaged with the world'.
