Part 1
考官
Do you have a favorite teacher?
考生
Yes, I do have a favorite teacher. He is a system design lecturer. He was so nice and helped me with understanding system design architecture.
考官
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
考生
Absolutely no, because I'm more to work with coding and building software systems rather than dealing with classroom communication.
考官
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
考生
Yes, I still remember one of my teachers, he taught me about system architecture and he he helped me with my final year project because my FOIP had a critical issues. So he helped me in that area.
考官
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
考生
Yes, I still in touch with one of them. We occasionally chat or meet. Last time I met with him was two months ago. We discussed about AI effects in teaching.
考官
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
考生
He helped me with my final year project because my FYP had an issue and that issue was so critical. So he helped me in debugging one of the modules in my system. Otherwise if I didn't I will. I was about to fail in that subject.
考官
Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?
考生
No I don't. I prefer high school teachers because high school teachers help me a lot to for applying to my university rather than my elementary teachers.
Do you have a favorite teacher?
分数: 72.0建议: Make the answer more concise and natural by starting with a clear topic sentence, adding one specific detail about how he helped, and using varied vocabulary. Avoid repetition (e.g., "system design" repeated) and minor grammar issues (use past tense consistently).
示例: Yes — my favorite teacher was my system design lecturer. He patiently explained complex architecture concepts and gave practical examples from real projects, which made the ideas much easier to understand.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
分数: 68.0建议: Give a direct but polite topic sentence, then add a brief reason and a linking phrase. Correct grammar (use "I'd rather" or "I prefer") and avoid negative sounding absolute words like "absolutely no."
示例: No, I wouldn't. I prefer working on coding and building software systems because I enjoy hands-on technical work rather than classroom teaching.
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
分数: 60.0建议: Structure the response with one clear sentence, fix grammar and hesitations, and provide a specific example of help. Replace unclear terms ("FOIP"?) and avoid repetition. Use linking words like "for example" or "in particular."
示例: Yes, I remember a teacher who taught system architecture. For example, he supervised my final-year project and helped me fix a critical module that was causing failures, which allowed me to pass the course.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
分数: 74.0建议: Make the answer more fluent by combining short sentences and correcting small grammar issues ("I am still in touch", "discussed AI's effects" or "the effects of AI"). Add a brief personal comment to enrich content.
示例: Yes, I'm still in touch with one primary school teacher. We meet occasionally — I last saw him two months ago and we talked about the effects of AI on teaching, which was a very interesting conversation.

Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?

示例: No, I prefer my high school teachers. They helped me a lot with university applications, writing reference letters and preparing for entrance interviews.
× Yes, I do have a favorite teacher.
✓ Yes, I have a favorite teacher.
The auxiliary 'do' is unnecessary in affirmative present simple statements with 'have' as a stative verb. Use 'I have' for correct, natural present-tense expression.
× He was so nice and helped me with understanding system design architecture.
✓ He is very nice and helped me understand system design architecture.
The first clause refers to a current favorite teacher, so present tense 'is' is appropriate. Use 'helped me understand' (bare infinitive) instead of 'helped me with understanding' for a more natural verb pattern after 'help' when followed by a verb.
× Absolutely no, because I'm more to work with coding and building software systems rather than dealing with classroom communication.
✓ Absolutely not, because I prefer working with coding and building software systems rather than dealing with classroom communication.
Use 'not' after 'absolutely' to negate. 'I'm more to' is ungrammatical; express preference with 'I prefer' or 'I prefer working'. Use gerund 'working' to indicate general activities.
× Yes, I still remember one of my teachers, he taught me about system architecture and he he helped me with my final year project because my FOIP had a critical issues. So he helped me in that area.
✓ Yes, I still remember one of my teachers. He taught me about system architecture and he helped me with my final year project because my FYP had a critical issue, so he helped me in that area.
Replace the comma splice with a period to avoid run-on sentence. Remove duplicate 'he'. 'FOIP' seems a typo for 'FYP' (final year project). Use singular 'issue' with 'a critical' and avoid redundant 'so' at start of sentence by combining clauses.
× Yes, I still in touch with one of them.
✓ Yes, I'm still in touch with one of them.
Missing auxiliary verb 'am' in present continuous. Use 'I'm still in touch' to form correct present continuous structure.
× Last time I met with him was two months ago.
✓ The last time I met him was two months ago.
Include article 'the' before 'last time' for natural phrasing and remove unnecessary preposition 'with' after 'met' when a direct object follows.
× We discussed about AI effects in teaching.
✓ We discussed the effects of AI on teaching.
The verb 'discuss' does not take 'about'; use direct object. 'Effects of AI on teaching' is the correct prepositional pattern.
× He helped me with my final year project because my FYP had an issue and that issue was so critical.
✓ He helped me with my final year project because my FYP had a critical issue.
Combine repetitive clauses to avoid redundancy. 'That issue was so critical' is redundant after stating 'had a critical issue'; keep concise past-tense explanation.
× So he helped me in debugging one of the modules in my system.
✓ He helped me debug one of the modules in my system.
Avoid starting with 'So' in formal answers; use simple past 'helped me debug' with bare infinitive after 'help'. 'Helped me in debugging' is less natural than 'helped me debug'.
× Otherwise if I didn't I will. I was about to fail in that subject.
✓ Otherwise, I would have failed. I was about to fail that subject.
Original sentence is ungrammatical. For an unreal past condition, use 'would have' (third conditional). Alternatively, 'I was about to fail that subject' is acceptable; combine into coherent sequence: 'Otherwise, I would have failed; I was about to fail that subject.'
× No I don't.
✓ No, I don't.
Missing comma after introductory 'No' for correct punctuation and slight pause in speech; grammar otherwise fine.
× I prefer high school teachers because high school teachers help me a lot to for applying to my university rather than my elementary teachers.
✓ I prefer high school teachers because they helped me a lot with applying to university, more than my elementary school teachers did.
Use 'helped me a lot with applying' or 'helped me a lot to apply' (here past tense 'helped' fits). Remove redundant repetition. Use 'elementary school teachers' for clarity and include comparative structure 'more than ... did' to compare correctly.
