Do you have a friend you have known for a long time?
Thí sinh
Yes, I have a close friend who is a girl and we have known each other for almost 10 years. We first mind when we were in primary school and although there was a period when we hadn't been in touch, we have recently reconnected and become close again. I really value our friendship because she is very supportive and we share many common interests.

What do you usually do with your friends?
Thí sinh
I usually spend time with my friends by playing computer games together because it's a fun way to relax and compete. We also like to have big dinners with each other, which gives us a chance to try and catch up. After dinner, we often watch movies or play some board games to enjoy the evening.

Where do you often meet each other?
Thí sinh
We usually meet at the shopping mall or shopping hall because it's a convenient and lovely space for both of us. Sometimes she invites me to her home, which I enjoy because it gives me a chance to bring her small gifts and strengthen our friendship. Meeting in different places helps us spend quality time together.

Do you often go out with your friends?
Thí sinh
No, I rarely go out with my friends, maybe only once a month, because we all have a lot of pressure from worker studies. For example, we often have many assignments to complete every day, so we don't have enough free time to relax or socialize. Therefore it's difficult for us to meet up more often.

How important are friends to you?
Thí sinh
Friends are very important to me because they provide support and comfort, especially during difficult times. For example, whenever I face challenges, my best friends always try their best to help me, which makes me feel less alone. In fact, after my parents, my friends are the people I trust and rely on the most.

Do you prefer to spend time with one friend or with a group of friends?
Thí sinh
I prefer spending time with one friend because it allows us to have a more intimate and meaningful conversation, which helps to strengthen our relationship. For example, why meet one-on-one? We can focus on each other without distractions. However, spending time with a group of friends can be more dynamic and fine as there are more people to socialize.

Would you invite friends to your home?
Thí sinh
No, I usually don't invite my friends to my home because I am quite a messy person. My home is quite often untidy and I feel embarrassed to have guests over without cleaning first. It usually takes me a long time, sometimes almost 10 hours, to prepare everything properly.

× We first mind when we were in primary school and although there was a period when we hadn't been in touch, we have recently reconnected and become close again.
✓ We first met when we were in primary school and although there was a period when we hadn't been in touch, we have recently reconnected and become close again.
The verb 'mind' is incorrect here; the correct past participle form is 'met' from the verb 'meet'. The sentence describes a past event, so the past tense 'met' is appropriate.
× I usually spend time with my friends by playing computer games together because it's a fun way to relax and compete.
✓ I usually spend time with my friends playing computer games together because it's a fun way to relax and compete.
The preposition 'by' is unnecessary before the gerund 'playing' in this context. Removing 'by' makes the sentence more natural and grammatically correct.
× We also like to have big dinners with each other, which gives us a chance to try and catch up.
✓ We also like to have big dinners together, which gives us a chance to try and catch up.
The phrase 'with each other' is awkward here; 'together' is the correct adverb to express doing something jointly.
× We usually meet at the shopping mall or shopping hall because it's a convenient and lovely space for both of us.
✓ We usually meet at the shopping mall or shopping hall because they're convenient and lovely spaces for both of us.
The sentence refers to two places, so plural pronouns and adjectives should be used: 'they're' and 'spaces'.
× No, I rarely go out with my friends, maybe only once a month, because we all have a lot of pressure from worker studies.
✓ No, I rarely go out with my friends, maybe only once a month, because we all have a lot of pressure from work and studies.
The phrase 'worker studies' is incorrect; it should be 'work and studies' to correctly express the sources of pressure.
× For example, we often have many assignments to complete every day, so we don't have enough free time to relax or socialize.
✓ For example, we often have many assignments to complete every day, so we don't have enough free time to relax or socialize.
This sentence is correct; no preposition errors found.
× In fact, after my parents, my friends are the people I trust and rely on the most.
✓ In fact, after my parents, my friends are the people I trust and rely on most.
The preposition 'on' should not be separated from 'most' in this context; 'rely on most' is the correct phrase.
× For example, why meet one-on-one? We can focus on each other without distractions.
✓ For example, when we meet one-on-one, we can focus on each other without distractions.
The phrase 'why meet one-on-one?' is awkward and unclear. Replacing it with 'when we meet one-on-one' clarifies the meaning and improves sentence structure.
× However, spending time with a group of friends can be more dynamic and fine as there are more people to socialize.
✓ However, spending time with a group of friends can be more dynamic and fun as there are more people to socialize with.
The adjective 'fine' is incorrect here; 'fun' is appropriate to describe enjoyable experiences. Also, 'to socialize' should be followed by 'with' to be grammatically correct.
× No, I usually don't invite my friends to my home because I am quite a messy person.
✓ No, I usually don't invite my friends to my home because I am quite a messy person.
This sentence is correct; no preposition errors found.
× My home is quite often untidy and I feel embarrassed to have guests over without cleaning first.
✓ My home is often quite untidy and I feel embarrassed to have guests over without cleaning first.
The adverb order 'quite often' is less natural than 'often quite' when modifying 'untidy'. The correction improves naturalness.
× It usually takes me a long time, sometimes almost 10 hours, to prepare everything properly.
✓ It usually takes me a long time, sometimes almost ten hours, to prepare everything properly.
Numbers under ten are generally written in words in formal writing; 'ten' is preferred over '10' here for consistency and formality.
