Part 1
Examiner
When did you start using the internet?
Candidate
I vividly remember when I cleared my 10th standard examination, my father just gave me a gift that was my Nokia's, uh, digital phone. So in that phone I started using the Internet at that time, like it was kind of mobile Internet. So I used to recharge using the cards.
Examiner
How often do you go online?
Candidate
I think the answer should be always. The reason is like I always turn on my Wi-Fi and mobile data. That means uh, my mobile Internet is always active and so whenever I get a notification umm I get the option to instantly open and give the reply to them. So.
Examiner
Can you remember a time you weren’t allowed to use the internet?
Candidate
Yes, I will remember the situation because it happened, uh, within two months and it was when I wrote my last IELTS general exam. At that time, my examiner instructed us to put mobile phones in off mode and put inside the small locker that's situated at the outside. So that was the situation.
Examiner
Do you think you spend too much time online?
Candidate
Not nowadays, but I used to spend a lot of time in online in Internet, but but at that time I don't have nothing to do but when I got the job and my life become like more busy, so now I have to do something else. So nowadays I don't use Internet that much.
Examiner
What would you do without the internet?
Candidate
I cannot even imagine that situation. Of course it's gonna be like really hard to live without the Internet. Umm, I think now people will start reading the books again in order to gather the information. And yeah, people may watch the TV and maybe listen the radios again.

Grammar
× my Nokia's, uh, digital phone
✓ my Nokia, uh, digital phone
The use of the apostrophe 's' in 'Nokia's' incorrectly indicates possession or a contraction. Here, 'Nokia' is a brand name used as an adjective to describe the phone, so no apostrophe is needed.
× I used to spend a lot of time in online in Internet
✓ I used to spend a lot of time online on the Internet
The preposition 'in' is incorrectly used before 'online' and 'Internet'. The correct prepositions are 'online' (no preposition needed) and 'on the Internet' because we say 'on the Internet' to indicate usage or activity.
× I don't have nothing to do
✓ I don't have anything to do
The phrase 'don't have nothing' is a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English. It should be 'don't have anything' to express the negative properly.
× maybe listen the radios again
✓ maybe listen to the radios again
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. Therefore, 'listen the radios' should be corrected to 'listen to the radios'.
