Talents— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Ответ следует сделать более естественным и структурированным: начать с чётного утверждения, затем добавить 1–2 конкретных детали (платформа, что именно вы готовили, пример продажи) и связать их логически. Избегайте лишних повторов и грамматических ошибок (правильные времена и согласование). Ограничьте ответ 2–4 предложениями.

Example: Yes. I’m really good at cooking and baking. I used to run an Instagram blog where I posted videos of cookies and cakes, and I even sold batches to local customers.

Suggestion: Сделайте ответ более конкретным и грамматически корректным: укажите период (в детстве), приведите конкретный пример действий (помогали маме, какие блюда), используйте связку причинно-следственных слов (because, so) и избегайте лишних фраз. Поддержите утверждение 1–2 деталями.

Example: I learned it when I was young. I often helped my mother in the kitchen, preparing family meals and simple desserts, so cooking became a habit and later a skill.

Suggestion: Сформулируйте цель яснее и логично: одно-два предложения о планах (открыть кафе/пекарню) и одно предложение о том, как навык поможет (управление, качество продукции, опыт продаж). Избегайте слов-повторов и исправьте фразы "buy/sell" — скорее "bake and sell".

Example: Yes — I plan to open a small café and bakery where I would bake and sell homemade cakes and cookies, so my skills will help me manage the product quality and build a customer base.

Suggestion: Дайте короткий прямой ответ, затем объясните причину одной фразой. Избегайте разговорных вставок и повтора слов. Уточните, что именно вы делаете дома, и завершите предложение уверенно. Сделайте 1–2 предложения всего.

Example: No, I don’t think so. My mother and sister aren’t interested in cooking, so I’m the one who always prepares meals and bakes desserts at home.

× Of course I do. I am so good at cooking and baking something and I had a blog on Instagram and I had cooked a lot of cookies and I sold them to people and I have also videos relating to this I love.

✓ Of course I do. I am very good at cooking and baking. I had a blog on Instagram, where I posted many photos and videos. I baked a lot of cookies and sold them to people, and I also have videos related to this that I love.

The sentence uses inconsistent verb forms and incorrect past participle usage (e.g., 'I had cooked' is unnecessary; simple past 'I baked' is correct). Use past simple for completed actions in the past ('I baked', 'I sold') and present perfect for experiences that relate to the present ('I have videos'). Also simplify and split long run-on sentences. Replace 'so good at' followed by 'something' with 'very good at' and remove vague 'something'. Suggestions: use simple past for finished past actions, present perfect for present relevance, and separate ideas into shorter sentences.

× As my mom says when I was young, I always try to makes some kind of meals or prepare.

✓ As my mom says, when I was young I always tried to make meals or help prepare them.

Tense inconsistency: 'when I was young' indicates past, so use past tense 'tried' not present 'try'. Also subject-verb agreement: 'try' with 'I' should be 'tried' in past. 'Makes' is incorrect form; use base verb 'make'. Clarify 'prepare' by adding object 'them' or 'prepare meals'. Suggestions: match past time expressions with past tense verbs, and use correct verb forms.

× I always helped her to make some dishes in the kitchen and I think this is the reason why I love cooking and baking and I have a talent.

✓ I always helped her make dishes in the kitchen, and I think this is the reason why I love cooking and baking and why I have a talent for it.

Unnecessary use of 'to' after 'helped' (helped her make is correct); the sentence is long and needs linking words for clarity. Add 'for it' to express talent relation. Present 'love' is fine, but clarify connection with 'have a talent'. Suggestions: remove unnecessary 'to' after 'help', break long sentences, and add 'for it' to complete the phrase 'talent for'.

× Yes, absolutely. Because I'm planning to open my own cafeteria and own my own bakery where I can buy, I can sell, I mean this kind of products or cakes, homemade cookies.

✓ Yes, absolutely. I'm planning to open my own café and bakery where I can sell products like cakes and homemade cookies.

Redundant wording and incorrect verbs: 'where I can buy, I can sell' is confusing; context requires 'sell'. Use 'I'm planning' (present continuous) to express future plans — that is correct. Simplify 'cafeteria' to 'café' and remove repetition 'own my own'. Suggestions: use present continuous for planned future actions, remove redundant verbs, and use clear nouns for the business.

× So it helps me to grow and learn.

✓ So it will help me grow and learn.

If referring to a future benefit of a planned business, use future meaning: 'will help' or 'would help'. Omitting 'to' after 'help' is acceptable: 'help me grow' rather than 'help me to grow'. Suggestions: choose verb tense consistent with the previous sentence about future plans.

× Nope, I don't think so, because my mom and my sister hate to cook.

✓ No, I don't think so, because my mom and my sister hate cooking.

'Nope' is informal; 'No' is more appropriate in a test. Use gerund after 'hate' ('hate cooking' rather than 'hate to cook') — both are possible but gerund is more natural here. Pronouns are fine otherwise. Suggestions: use neutral register and natural verb patterns in speaking tests.

× They have no talent in the sphere, in the confectionery confectionery sphere, I mean.

✓ They don't have any talent in the confectionery field, I mean.

Awkward prepositional phrase 'talent in the sphere' is unnatural. Use 'talent in the confectionery field' or 'talent for confectionery'. Also correct double word 'confectionery confectionery'. Suggestions: use 'in the ... field' or 'for ...' and avoid repetition.

× So that's why I always cook at home, always bake. This is a my, how can I say my job in?

✓ So that's why I always cook and bake at home. It's kind of my job, how can I say, my role in the family?

Awkward fragmented sentences and filler phrase misplaced. 'This is a my' is ungrammatical. Rephrase to 'It's kind of my job' or 'It's my role'. Add context 'in the family' if intended. Suggestions: avoid filler words, restructure fragments into coherent sentences, and complete the phrase 'my job' or 'my role' with context.
