Part 1
Examiner
In what conditions would you use a computer?
Candidate
I would use the computer when I have to do my school work and I think it's pretty convenience because it's a big screen and I don't have to look at it like a phone. And also when I'm relaxing and watching movies is pretty great to use a computer too.
Examiner
When was the first time you used a computer?
Candidate
Well, for me, the first time I use the computer when is when I was in the eighth grade and we have to study it online. We have to have online classes because of the COVID pandemic. So each person has a has a computer to learn from there.
Examiner
What would your life be like without a computer?
Candidate
Well, I think my life would be pretty difficult if I don't have a computer because there's a lot of work that I cannot do on my phone because it's too small or it's just cannot function well on a phone as it is on a computer. So I think a computer is pretty essential to my life.
Examiner
In what conditions would it be difficult for you to use a computer?
Candidate
Because a computer is big, so. I have to carry it to places and not just like a phone because the phone is small so I can carry it everywhere. A computer I had to have a backpack with me, so I think it's pretty hard to carry a computer around far places.

Example: It is difficult to use a computer when I need to carry it around because it is large and heavy. Unlike a phone, which is small and easy to carry everywhere, a computer requires a backpack, making it inconvenient for travel.
× I would use the computer when I have to do my school work and I think it's pretty convenience because it's a big screen and I don't have to look at it like a phone.
✓ I would use the computer when I have to do my school work and I think it's pretty convenient because it's a big screen and I don't have to look at it like a phone.
The word 'convenience' is a noun, but here an adjective is needed to describe 'it'. The correct adjective form is 'convenient'. This is a common error where a noun is mistakenly used instead of an adjective.
× Well, for me, the first time I use the computer when is when I was in the eighth grade and we have to study it online.
✓ Well, for me, the first time I used the computer was when I was in the eighth grade and we had to study online.
The sentence refers to a past event, so the verb 'use' should be in the past tense 'used'. Also, 'when is when' is incorrect; it should be 'was when'. Additionally, 'we have to study it online' should be 'we had to study online' to maintain past tense consistency.
× So each person has a has a computer to learn from there.
✓ So each person has a computer to learn from there.
The phrase 'has a has a computer' contains a repeated verb phrase. Removing the duplicate 'has a' corrects the sentence. This is a redundancy error rather than a singular/plural issue, but it affects sentence clarity.
× Well, I think my life would be pretty difficult if I don't have a computer because there's a lot of work that I cannot do on my phone because it's too small or it's just cannot function well on a phone as it is on a computer.
✓ Well, I think my life would be pretty difficult if I didn't have a computer because there's a lot of work that I cannot do on my phone because it's too small or it just cannot function as well on a phone as it does on a computer.
The conditional sentence requires the past tense 'didn't have' to match the hypothetical 'would be'. Also, 'it's just cannot function well' is incorrect; it should be 'it just cannot function as well'. The phrase 'as it is on a computer' should be 'as it does on a computer' to correctly compare functions.
× Because a computer is big, so. I have to carry it to places and not just like a phone because the phone is small so I can carry it everywhere.
✓ Because a computer is big, I have to carry it to places and not just like a phone because the phone is small so I can carry it everywhere.
The sentence starts with 'Because' and then 'so' which is redundant; removing 'so' improves sentence structure. This is more of a sentence structure issue but affects clarity.
× A computer I had to have a backpack with me, so I think it's pretty hard to carry a computer around far places.
✓ For a computer, I have to have a backpack with me, so I think it's pretty hard to carry a computer around far places.
The phrase 'I had to have' suggests past tense, but the context is general, so present tense 'I have to have' is appropriate. Also, 'around far places' is awkward; 'to far places' or 'over long distances' would be better, but this is a preposition issue not listed here.
