Candidato
Ambition is not popular in my country because we don't have much pounds or we don't have an access to sea. Also we have more younger community. They prefer just surfing in the net or they prefer other activities and sports than fishing.
Do you like eating fish?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Ваша відповідь містить корисну інформацію, але має кілька проблем: невпевненість (заповнювачі «uh»), некоректні фрази («I always eat there this»), надмірна довжина і повтори. Потрібно дати чіткий топік речення, видалити заповнювачі, використати зв’язки для додаткових деталей і конкретизувати приклад. Також обмежуйте відповідь до 3–4 речень.
Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy eating fish, especially grilled salmon. It is very popular in my country, and my family ate fish frequently when I was a child. For example, we often had baked fish with rice on Sundays, which I still like because it tastes fresh and healthy.
Have you been to the fish market?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Відповідь достатньо інформативна, але має граматичні помилки (наприклад, «this markets»), небагато логіки в останній фразі і зайві заповнювачі. Слід структурувати відповідь: коротке заперечення, дві чіткі причини з логічними зв’язками та конкретний приклад. Усуньте суперечності (тато «preferred the fish» звучить незрозуміло).
Ejemplo: No, I have never been to a fish market because there isn't one in my city and I haven't had the opportunity to travel to nearby towns. Besides, I avoid them due to the strong smell. For instance, my family usually buys fish from the supermarket instead.
Is fishing popular in your country?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Ваша відповідь містить змішані помилки лексики та вимови («Ambition» замість «fishing»), граматики (артиклі, множина) і небагато конкретики. Потрібно почати з чіткої теми, пояснити причини з точними словами (наприклад, lack of coastline, few ponds), використати зв’язку («because, so, therefore») і навести приклад або наслідок. Уникайте загальних фраз і неповних речень.
Ejemplo: Fishing is not very popular in my country because we have limited coastline and few natural ponds. As a result, most people, especially younger ones, choose other leisure activities such as surfing the internet or playing team sports. Therefore commercial or recreational fishing is quite rare.
× I always eat there this and uh, I love it.
✓ I always ate that and, uh, I loved it.
The student is talking about a habitual action in childhood, so the past tense should be used. Replace present simple 'eat' and 'love' with past simple 'ate' and 'loved' to match the time frame. Suggestion: use past tense when referring to repeated actions in the past (e.g., 'When I was a child, we often ate fish and I loved it').
× I have never been because I didn't have much opportunity and there is no fish market in my city.
✓ I have never been because I haven't had many opportunities and there is no fish market in my city.
The first clause uses present perfect 'have never been' which requires a present perfect continuation for related experience. 'Didn't have much opportunity' is simple past and mismatches; use present perfect 'haven't had' and plural 'opportunities'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent when describing life experience (e.g., 'I have never been because I haven't had many opportunities').
× Also, I don't have a reason to go there because I don't like the smell of this markets and uh, my dad always preferred the fish.
✓ Also, I don't have a reason to go there because I don't like the smell of these markets and, uh, my dad has always preferred fish.
'This markets' is incorrect; use plural demonstrative 'these markets'. 'Preferred the fish' is awkward: for a habitual preference up to now use present perfect 'has always preferred' and omit the definite article before a general noun 'fish'. Suggestion: say 'these markets' and 'has always preferred fish'.
× Ambition is not popular in my country because we don't have much pounds or we don't have an access to sea.
✓ Fishing is not popular in my country because we don't have many pounds of water nearby, and we don't have access to the sea.
'Ambition' is a wrong word; the intended word is 'fishing'. 'Much pounds' is ungrammatical: use 'many pounds' if counting pounds (though context likely means 'ponds' or 'bodies of water'); change to 'ponds' or 'bodies of water'. 'An access to sea' should be 'access to the sea' without an article. Suggestion: use correct vocabulary 'fishing' and 'ponds' or 'bodies of water' and 'access to the sea'.
× Also we have more younger community.
✓ Also, we have a younger population.
'More younger community' is ungrammatical: 'more' with comparative 'younger' is redundant and 'community' is not the best word. Use 'a younger population' or 'a younger community' without 'more'. Suggestion: say 'we have a younger population' to convey the idea clearly.
× They prefer just surfing in the net or they prefer other activities and sports than fishing.
✓ They prefer just surfing the net or other activities and sports to fishing.
'Surfing in the net' is incorrect preposition; say 'surfing the net'. Repetition 'they prefer... they prefer' is redundant; combine. Use 'prefer A to B' structure: 'prefer X to Y' not 'prefer X than Y'. Suggestion: say 'They prefer surfing the net or other activities and sports to fishing.'
