Part 1
Examiner
Do you have a favourite teacher?
Candidate
Yes, the teacher that I most like is my college English teacher. To me, she's not only an instructor but also a mentor. She's she's knowledgeable and approachable. Umm she's always serious in the class but she at the same time she made learning engaging and fun. She's also willing to help students after class.
Examiner
Are you still in touch with your primary school teacher?
Candidate
No, and I haven't thought about reaching out. I lost touch with them since I went to middle school. You know, it's been ages. I have lost all their contact information.
Examiner
In what way did your favourite teacher help you?
Candidate
I had an English teacher in the middle school. She encouraged me when I felt most uncertain and lost about myself. He acknowledged my effort and showed me the way forward, so I appreciate her help.
Examiner
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Candidate
I don't aspire to become a teacher. I respect the profession, I respect the career. I know how exhausting it can be to pour their heart and soul into educating students. It's no easy task and but personally I tend to avoid trouble so.
Do you have a favourite teacher?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and repetition, correct minor grammatical issues, and make the answer more concise while keeping specific details. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give 2–3 supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler words like “Umm” and repeated words such as “she's she's.”
Example: My favourite teacher is my college English teacher. She is both knowledgeable and approachable, which makes it easy to ask for help. Moreover, although she is serious about standards, she makes lessons engaging and fun, and she often stays after class to support students who need extra help.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teacher?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence and then add one specific reason with a linking phrase. Avoid colloquial fillers like “You know” and be careful with tense and pronoun consistency (“them” vs singular). Keep it concise (max 4 sentences).
Example: No, I'm not in touch with my primary school teacher. After I moved on to middle school I lost contact, and I don't have their phone number or email anymore.
In what way did your favourite teacher help you?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Correct pronoun inconsistency (switches between she and he) and state a clear topic sentence, then give specific examples of how she helped using linking words (for example, by giving feedback, offering guidance, or setting goals). This will show coherence and concrete content.
Example: My middle-school English teacher helped me by encouraging me when I felt uncertain. For example, she gave detailed feedback on my essays and suggested reading and practice exercises, which boosted my confidence and improved my writing.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Start with a direct statement, then briefly explain your reason using coherent linking words. Remove repetitive phrases and awkward expressions (e.g., “I respect the profession, I respect the career” and “avoid trouble so”). Keep it natural and specific about why you would not choose teaching.
Example: No, I don't want to be a teacher. Although I greatly respect the profession because it requires dedication and emotional energy, I prefer a career with a different work–life balance, so teaching would not suit me personally.
× 'She's she's knowledgeable and approachable.'
✓ 'She's knowledgeable and approachable.'
'She's she's' repeats the contraction for 'she is', causing a redundancy and incorrect third person singular structure. Remove the duplicate 'she's' so the sentence correctly uses one third-person singular verb form.'
× 'Umm she's always serious in the class but she at the same time she made learning engaging and fun.'
✓ 'Umm, she is always serious in class, but at the same time she makes learning engaging and fun.'
'made' is past tense while the context describes habitual actions, so present tense should be used. Also there is an extra subject "she" after "at the same time"; remove the extra subject and use 'makes' for third person singular present. Add a comma after 'Umm' and remove "the" before 'class' for natural phrasing.'
× 'She's also willing to help students after class.'
✓ 'She is also willing to help students after class.'
'She's' is a contraction of 'she is' and is grammatically acceptable, but for consistency and clarity in speaking transcription expanding to 'She is' avoids ambiguity. This is stylistic rather than strictly incorrect; no tense change needed. Kept present continuous idea of willingness.'
× 'I lost touch with them since I went to middle school.'
✓ 'I lost touch with them when I went to middle school.'
'Since' with a simple past verb ('lost') is incorrect here because 'since' normally requires present perfect to indicate an action continuing to the present (e.g., 'have lost since'). The student likely means the time when they lost contact, so 'when' is the correct conjunction with simple past 'lost'. If intending continuity, use 'I have lost touch with them since I went to middle school.'
× 'I have lost all their contact information.'
✓ 'I have lost all their contact information.'
'Have lost' is present perfect and correctly uses the past participle 'lost'. No correction needed; included to acknowledge correct use of past participle with present relevance.'
× 'I had an English teacher in the middle school. She encouraged me when I felt most uncertain and lost about myself. He acknowledged my effort and showed me the way forward, so I appreciate her help.'
✓ 'I had an English teacher in middle school. She encouraged me when I felt most uncertain and lost about myself. She acknowledged my effort and showed me the way forward, so I appreciate her help.'
'He' is the wrong pronoun for a teacher previously referred to as 'She', causing a pronoun reference error. Change 'He' to 'She' so pronouns consistently refer to the same person.'
× 'I don't aspire to become a teacher. I respect the profession, I respect the career.'
✓ 'I don't aspire to become a teacher. I respect the profession; I respect the career.'
'I respect the profession, I respect the career.' is a comma splice joining two independent clauses with just a comma. Use a semicolon or split into two sentences. Tense is fine (present). This fixes sentence structure rather than tense, but fits present-tense usage.'
× 'I know how exhausting it can be to pour their heart and soul into educating students.'
✓ 'I know how exhausting it can be to pour one's heart and soul into educating students.'
'Their' is a plural or gender-neutral plural pronoun; here the subject is generic 'a teacher' or 'one', so 'one's' is more formal and grammatically consistent. Alternatively, use 'your' in direct address or 'your own' depending on context. This corrects pronoun reference and sentence structure.'
× 'It's no easy task and but personally I tend to avoid trouble so.'
✓ 'It's no easy task, and personally I tend to avoid trouble.'
'and but' is a faulty conjunction combination; use either 'and' or 'but'. Also the trailing 'so' is unnecessary and informal here. Remove 'but' and 'so' and add a comma after the first clause for correct sentence structure.'}]} } </ReportGrammarArguments> PMID: Not applicable. <!-- End of response --> PMID: Not applicable. <!--
