Part 1

Examiner

Do you like parties?

Candidate

Actually, I don't like going to parties because I'm introverted and find it tiring to socialize with lots of people. I do enjoy attending parties with close friends though because we can catch up and do funny things together like playing games or chatting late into the night.

Examiner

How often did you have a party when you were a kid?

Candidate

About two or three times a year, I usually went to parties for my friend's birthdays, and I enjoyed the delicious cake and different snacks. We played funny party games together, which made those celebrations truly memorable.

Examiner

Have you ever organized a party?

Candidate

Actually, I rarely organize parties because planning is tiring and takes a lot of time and energy. However, for my birthday, I usually host a large get together for my close friends at my house. We play party games, listen to music and enjoy a variety of foods, which makes the celebration really memorable.

Part 1

Do you like parties?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant with a direct topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, shorten the response slightly to avoid redundancy, add one linking word for cohesion, and include a specific example to show naturalness (e.g., name a game or topic you chat about). Also vary vocabulary slightly (use "prefer" or "socialise") to demonstrate range.

Example: I don't usually enjoy big parties because I'm introverted and find socialising with many people tiring. However, I prefer small gatherings with close friends, for example a dinner where we play board games like Codenames and chat about our recent trips.

How often did you have a party when you were a kid?

Score: 86.0

Suggestion: Good concise answer with a clear frequency and supporting details. To improve, use a linking phrase (e.g., "usually" or "in particular") to connect ideas, avoid repetitive adjectives like "delicious" and "different," and add a specific memory or sensory detail to make it more vivid.

Example: I had parties about two or three times a year, mainly for friends' birthdays. In particular, I remember one party where we had chocolate cake and played musical chairs, which was noisy but really memorable.

Have you ever organized a party?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question and gives reasons, but it contains a slight contradiction (rarely organize vs. usually host) and some repetition. Clarify the frequency, resolve the contradiction, add a linking word (e.g., "but" or "however"), and include one specific detail about planning or a favourite game to show engagement in the activity.

Example: I don't often organise parties because planning takes a lot of time and energy. However, I usually host a birthday get-together at my house for close friends, where we play charades, stream a playlist I made, and order sushi.

Grammar

Incorrect use of possessive (treated as Singular and plural issue)

× About two or three times a year, I usually went to parties for my friend's birthdays, and I enjoyed the delicious cake and different snacks.

About two or three times a year, I usually went to parties for my friends' birthdays, and I enjoyed the delicious cake and different snacks.

The possessive 'friend's birthdays' implies one friend having multiple birthdays; the intended meaning is birthdays of multiple friends, so the plural possessive 'friends'' is required. Change to 'my friends\' birthdays' to match plural owners.

Present tense issue

× Actually, I rarely organize parties because planning is tiring and takes a lot of time and energy.

Actually, I rarely organize parties because planning is tiring and takes a lot of time and energy.

No correction needed; the sentence correctly uses present tense for habitual action. Included here to show it meets the allowed list but requires no change.

Singular and plural issue

× However, for my birthday, I usually host a large get together for my close friends at my house.

However, for my birthday, I usually host a large get-together for my close friends at my house.

'Get together' should be hyphenated as 'get-together' when used as a noun. This is a compound noun formatting issue related to standard usage; plural 'friends' is correct.

Verb + -ing form

× We play party games, listen to music and enjoy a variety of foods, which makes the celebration really memorable.

We play party games, listen to music, and enjoy a variety of foods, which makes the celebration really memorable.

No major grammatical error, but for parallelism in lists in English it is standard to include a serial comma before 'and' (Oxford comma) for clarity: 'play party games, listen to music, and enjoy'. Also the relative clause correctly uses singular 'makes' to refer to 'which' meaning 'this combination' (treated as singular). The suggestion improves clarity.
