Giám khảo
Are you a patient person?
Thí sinh
I would say so. I consider myself a quite patient person. I'm not particularly good at anything, though I'm confident in waiting and preserving for a long time. I'm also not agile, but I have a habit of staying calm and thinking twice when necessary.

What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Thí sinh
I get impatient when things are slower than I expected. For example, I can't stand it when the Wi-Fi connection suddenly becomes better and the Internet speed slows down. When that happens, I get annoyed easily and hit the refresh button multiple times.

How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Thí sinh
It may be frustrating at first, but once I think it is reasonable, I give up and approach the task. If I have to do something anyway, I think it is better for my mentor and physical health to do it in a relaxed manner rather than being stressed while doing it. In other words, I try to enjoy my work.

Does your job require you to be patient?
Thí sinh
Yes, of course. My job involves collaborating with various people. I have to listen carefully and stay calm. Also, sometimes a summer mistake can lead to an emergency accident, so it requires kid judgment and action at the same time.

Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Thí sinh
I think I was more patient when I was young. As I got older I think I tended to show my personality more easily rather than calming because I was able to estimate the amount of work and responsibility. Looking back, I think I became impatient after realizing the time was limited and passed very quickly.

× I consider myself a quite patient person.
✓ I consider myself quite a patient person.
In English, the adverb 'quite' should be placed before the article 'a' when modifying a noun phrase. The correct order is 'quite a patient person' rather than 'a quite patient person'. This improves naturalness and grammatical correctness.
× I'm confident in waiting and preserving for a long time.
✓ I'm confident in waiting and persevering for a long time.
The word 'preserving' is incorrect in this context; the intended word is 'persevering', which means to persist. Also, 'confident in' is correct usage here. The error is a wrong word choice rather than a preposition error, but it affects meaning significantly.
× I'm also not agile, but I have a habit of staying calm and thinking twice when necessary.
✓ I'm also not very agile, but I have a habit of staying calm and thinking twice when necessary.
Adding 'very' before 'agile' improves the naturalness of the sentence. Without it, the sentence sounds slightly abrupt. This is a stylistic improvement rather than a strict grammatical error.
× I get impatient when things are slower than I expected.
✓ I get impatient when things are slower than I expect.
Since the sentence is in present tense describing a habitual feeling, 'expect' should be in present tense to match. Using 'expected' (past tense) is inconsistent here.
× For example, I can't stand it when the Wi-Fi connection suddenly becomes better and the Internet speed slows down.
✓ For example, I can't stand it when the Wi-Fi connection suddenly becomes worse and the Internet speed slows down.
The phrase 'becomes better' contradicts the context of impatience caused by slow internet. The intended meaning is that the connection worsens, so 'becomes worse' is correct.
× If I have to do something anyway, I think it is better for my mentor and physical health to do it in a relaxed manner rather than being stressed while doing it.
✓ If I have to do something anyway, I think it is better for my mental and physical health to do it in a relaxed manner rather than being stressed while doing it.
The word 'mentor' is incorrect here; the intended word is 'mental' referring to mental health. This is a word choice error affecting meaning.
× Also, sometimes a summer mistake can lead to an emergency accident, so it requires kid judgment and action at the same time.
✓ Also, sometimes a small mistake can lead to an emergency accident, so it requires quick judgment and action at the same time.
The words 'summer' and 'kid' are incorrect here. The intended words are 'small' and 'quick' respectively. These are word choice errors that affect clarity and meaning.
× I think I was more patient when I was young.
✓ I think I was more patient when I was younger.
Using 'younger' instead of 'young' is more natural when comparing past states. 'When I was younger' is the correct comparative form.
× As I got older I think I tended to show my personality more easily rather than calming because I was able to estimate the amount of work and responsibility.
✓ As I got older, I think I tended to show my personality more easily rather than staying calm because I was able to estimate the amount of work and responsibility.
The word 'calming' is incorrect here; the intended word is 'staying calm'. Also, a comma after 'older' improves sentence clarity.
× Looking back, I think I became impatient after realizing the time was limited and passed very quickly.
✓ Looking back, I think I became impatient after realizing that time was limited and passed very quickly.
Adding 'that' after 'realizing' improves sentence clarity and grammatical correctness. Also, 'the time' can be simplified to 'time' in this context.
