How do you like geography?
Candidato
I love geography because it's really interesting to see how these physical, geographical features can influence so many things in the world that we are living in. For example, beliefs, the cultures, the transportation, shipping routes and how people grow their crops, for example.
Examinador
Do you think geography is useful?
Candidato
Yeah, I think geography is really useful. Probably not for like, you know, any average gel on the street, but probably more so for professionals who working in any fields really, umm from economics to politics and agricultural to see the how these geographical features can influence the weather, the shipping roles and everything else. We need to interact with.
Examinador
Have you ever learned geography?
Candidato
Yes, one of the compulsory subjects in my middle school and high school and I think it still intrigued me to this day, umm, when I realized that, oh we uh, back in Thailand, we have 8 months of rainy season because we are located between these umm, 2 oceans and because of that, it puts moisture into the air and whatnot and that's. Started to realize how important this subject can be.

Do you want to be a geography teacher?
Candidato
No, not really, even though I love geography, I think teaching others involves so many other skills rather than just knowledge. Learn. You need to learn to communicate really well and learn about psychology, how to do with students, especially the younger ones and also how to deal with administrative tasks.
Examinador
Will you learn more about the geography of other countries?
Candidato
Yes, actually, even now I'm still learning about geography from YouTube. There are so many channels posting videos covering interesting geographies around the globe and also like, you know, news channel like the BBC and the ABC covering how this geography influences our geopolitical struggle between nations.
How do you like geography?
Puntuación: 82.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and avoid repetition; start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific, well-linked examples. Use varied vocabulary and correct minor collocations (e.g., 'shipping routes' once).

Ejemplo: Yes, I studied geography in middle and high school, and it still fascinates me. For example, living in Thailand I learned that being between two oceans creates a long rainy season because moist air is drawn inland, which showed me how geography explains local climate patterns.

× Probably not for like, you know, any average gel on the street, but probably more so for professionals who working in any fields really, umm from economics to politics and agricultural to see the how these geographical features can influence the weather, the shipping roles and everything else.
✓ Probably not for, you know, any average gal on the street, but more for professionals who work in various fields, from economics to politics and agriculture, to see how these geographical features can influence the weather, the shipping routes and everything else we need to interact with.
Errors: 'gel' is a misspelling of 'gal' (informal for girl) or should be 'person' if formal; pronoun/relative clause issue 'professionals who working' lacks the correct verb form; 'in any fields' should be 'in various fields' (preposition/quantifier); 'agricultural' should be the noun 'agriculture' (word form); 'the how' is incorrect article+pronoun use; 'shipping roles' is wrong word choice, should be 'shipping routes'; sentence also had extraneous 'probably' and awkward phrasing. Suggestion: use correct verb forms after relative pronouns ('who work'), choose correct word forms (noun vs adjective), and use appropriate nouns ('routes' not 'roles'). Keep parallel structure in lists and remove redundant words.
× Yes, one of the compulsory subjects in my middle school and high school and I think it still intrigued me to this day, umm, when I realized that, oh we uh, back in Thailand, we have 8 months of rainy season because we are located between these umm, 2 oceans and because of that, it puts moisture into the air and whatnot and that's. Started to realize how important this subject can be.
✓ Yes, it was one of the compulsory subjects in my middle school and high school, and I think it still intrigues me to this day. When I realized that, back in Thailand, we have eight months of rainy season because we are located between two oceans, I started to realize how important this subject can be.
Errors: sentence had tense and subject-verb problems: 'one of the compulsory subjects ... and I think it still intrigued me' mixes past and present incorrectly; 'it still intrigues' (present) is correct if continuing interest remains. 'That's. Started to realize' is a fragment; should be 'I started to realize'. Also use numerals spelled out in formal speech 'eight' and 'two' for clarity. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense and include explicit subject for clauses; avoid sentence fragments.
× No, not really, even though I love geography, I think teaching others involves so many other skills rather than just knowledge. Learn. You need to learn to communicate really well and learn about psychology, how to do with students, especially the younger ones and also how to deal with administrative tasks.
✓ No, not really. Even though I love geography, I think teaching others involves many skills beyond just knowledge. You need to learn to communicate really well, learn about psychology, how to deal with students, especially younger ones, and how to handle administrative tasks.
Errors: unnecessary sentence fragments ('Learn.') and awkward phrase 'how to do with students' is incorrect; should be 'how to deal with students'. 'so many other skills rather than just knowledge' is better as 'many skills beyond just knowledge' (preposition/phrase use). Suggestion: combine fragments into full sentences, use correct verb phrases ('deal with' or 'handle'), and keep parallel structure in lists.
× Probably more so for professionals who working in any fields really, umm from economics to politics and agricultural to see the how these geographical features can influence the weather, the shipping roles and everything else. We need to interact with.
✓ Probably more for professionals who work in various fields, from economics to politics and agriculture, to see how these geographical features can influence the weather, the shipping routes and everything else we need to interact with.
Errors: 'working in any fields' should be 'work in various fields' (verb form and preposition/quantifier). 'agricultural' is the wrong word form; use 'agriculture'. The clause 'We need to interact with' was detached; attach to previous clause as 'everything else we need to interact with'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions ('in' fields) and ensure clauses are complete and properly attached.

✓ There are so many channels posting videos covering interesting geographic topics around the globe, and also news channels like the BBC and the ABC cover how geography influences geopolitical struggles between nations.
Errors: 'interesting geographies' is awkward—use 'interesting geographic topics' or 'geographical features'; 'news channel like the BBC and the ABC' should be plural 'news channels' and 'cover' agrees with plural subject. 'our geopolitical struggle between nations' is redundant and awkward; better 'geopolitical struggles between nations' (no 'our'). Suggestion: use correct adjective form ('geographic' or 'geographical') and ensure noun number agreement and concise phrasing.
