Part 1

Examiner

Do you like drawing?

Candidate

Nowadays, actually, it never happens that I am drawing something. Uh, when I was younger, I used to draw maybe at school for some homework. Umm, but uh, I, I remember that I liked, I enjoyed this activity. Uh, but I was, I have never been a good artist.

Examiner

Do you like to go to the gallery?

Candidate

Yes, I think it is a very good experience. That is an impressive experience, but also one that can teach you a lot. You can learn many things watching on pictures and art exhibits that are posed there.

Examiner

Do you want to learn more about art?

Candidate

Definitely, yes. I am sure that we all can learn a lot by looking at ancient maybe or different types, different styled exhibits that are present in museums, galleries and also maybe in the city centres and I am not so informed about all those type of things.

Examiner

Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?

Candidate

At the school in the primary and the secondary 1 and I think also intrusive, they talked us how to draw at different levels. I've never been a good drawer but anyway, I was a tidy person so I do I.

Part 1

Do you like drawing?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Riscrivi la risposta in modo più naturale e conciso, iniziando con una frase chiara che risponda direttamente alla domanda, poi aggiungi una o due frasi di supporto con dettagli specifici. Riduci le esitazioni (uh, umm) e correggi la grammatica (ad es. “I used to draw at school” invece di forme confuse). Usa collegamenti semplici per rendere il discorso più fluido.

Example: Not really. I don’t draw much these days, although I used to draw at school for homework when I was younger. I enjoyed it as a child, but I never developed professional skills, so now I only sketch occasionally for fun.

Do you like to go to the gallery?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Rispondi prima in modo diretto, quindi offri esempi concreti di ciò che trovi interessante nelle gallerie. Evita ripetizioni (“very good experience” vs “impressive experience”) e usa connettori per migliorare coesione (for example, such as, in particular). Migliora la precisione lessicale (ad es. “paintings” invece di “pictures” e “displayed” invece di “posed”).

Example: Yes, I do. Visiting galleries is both inspiring and educational. For example, I enjoy studying different painting techniques and the historical context behind works, which often gives me new ideas and perspectives.

Do you want to learn more about art?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Rispondi con una chiara affermazione e poi fornisci dettagli specifici su che cosa vuoi imparare (stili, periodi, tecniche) e come lo faresti (corsi, visite). Evita ripetizioni e incertezze (“maybe”, “different types, different styled”) e usa connettori per organizzare le idee (for instance, in particular, also).

Example: Definitely. I’d like to learn more about different art movements, such as Impressionism and Modernism, and about techniques like oil painting and fresco. I plan to read books, attend gallery talks, and take a short course to gain a deeper understanding.

Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Fornisci una risposta diretta seguita da dettagli concreti e grammaticalmente corretti. Evita parole incomprensibili o frasi interrotte (“intrusive”, “so I do I”). Usa forme corrette come “In primary and secondary school, we were taught basic drawing skills” e spiega brevemente cosa hai imparato. Mantieni la risposta sotto le cinque frasi.

Example: Yes. In primary and secondary school we were taught basic drawing and sketching techniques as part of the art curriculum. I learned how to shade and draw simple figures, but I never practiced enough to become a skilled artist.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Nowadays, actually, it never happens that I am drawing something.

Nowadays, I don't draw anything.

The original sentence uses an awkward progressive construction ('it never happens that I am drawing') which is unnatural for habitual actions. Use the simple present negative 'I don't draw' to express habitual lack of activity. Also remove filler words for clarity.

Past tense issue

× Uh, when I was younger, I used to draw maybe at school for some homework.

When I was younger, I used to draw at school for homework.

The original sentence has unnecessary modal 'maybe' and article 'some' before 'homework' (homework is uncountable). Use past habitual 'used to' and 'homework' without an article.

Present tense issue

× Umm, but uh, I, I remember that I liked, I enjoyed this activity.

I remember that I liked and enjoyed this activity.

The repeated fillers and comma splices make the sentence unclear. Combine the verbs 'liked' and 'enjoyed' with 'and' to form a grammatical coordinated past-tense statement.

Present perfect vs past contrast issue

× Uh, but I was, I have never been a good artist.

But I have never been a good artist.

Mixing past simple 'I was' with present perfect 'I have never been' is inconsistent. Use present perfect 'I have never been' to indicate experience up to now.

Present tense issue

× Yes, I think it is a very good experience.

Yes, I think it is a very good experience.

This sentence is acceptable as is; kept the simple present 'is' to express a general opinion. Note: no change needed.

Present tense issue

× That is an impressive experience, but also one that can teach you a lot.

That is an impressive experience and one that can teach you a lot.

The original is grammatical; replacing 'but also' with 'and' improves flow since both ideas are positive and compatible. Simple present is appropriate for general statements.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× You can learn many things watching on pictures and art exhibits that are posed there.

You can learn many things by looking at the pictures and art exhibits displayed there.

Use the preposition 'by' with gerund to indicate method: 'by looking'. 'Watching on pictures' is incorrect; use 'looking at pictures'. 'Posed there' is wrong collocation; use 'displayed there' or 'exhibited there'.

Present tense issue

× Definitely, yes. I am sure that we all can learn a lot by looking at ancient maybe or different types, different styled exhibits that are present in museums, galleries and also maybe in the city centres and I am not so informed about all those type of things.

Definitely. I am sure we can all learn a lot by looking at ancient or different types and styles of exhibits that are in museums, galleries, and city centres, and I am not very informed about all those kinds of things.

Sentence had many issues: word order, unnecessary 'maybe', incorrect plural/quantifier forms ('different styled' -> 'different types and styles'), and awkward phrase 'I am not so informed' -> 'I am not very informed'. Use simple present for general truths and correct nouns/plurals ('kinds of things').

Past tense issue

× At the school in the primary and the secondary 1 and I think also intrusive, they talked us how to draw at different levels.

At primary and secondary school, they taught us how to draw at different levels.

Use 'taught us' (past simple of 'teach') instead of 'talked us'. Remove unnecessary articles 'the' before 'primary and secondary'. 'Intrusive' is incorrect word choice and has been removed. Word order simplified for clarity.

Present perfect issue

× I've never been a good drawer but anyway, I was a tidy person so I do I.

I've never been a good drawer, but I was a tidy person.

Original ends with 'so I do I' which is ungrammatical and unclear. Keep contrast between never being a good drawer (present perfect) and being tidy in the past simple. If speaker means they remain tidy, use 'I am a tidy person.'
