Part 1
考官
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
考生
I prefer to listen to happy music because it will make me motivated and energetic to work, while sad music would make me feel depression and sometimes cause some serious health issues.
考官
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
考生
Yes it does, because I will be so energetic and I like to listen to these kind of music and then I will start to work more and faster. Like for example when I'm coding and I feel lazy or something then I would play any happy music.
考官
Have you taken any music classes?
考生
No, I haven't taken any classes because most of my time either doing some coding or studying at university. So when I was in university I would focus only on the study and after graduate I went to get a job and work there.
考官
Do you listen to music while doing other things?
考生
Yes I do because most of my time involved listening to music while I'm doing coding or any other software development activities. Otherwise I would be lazy and not doing any job.
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
分数: 72.0建议: Make your response more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid overstated claims about health and reduce redundancy (e.g., “make me feel depression” → “make me feel depressed”). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
示例: I prefer happy music because it boosts my motivation and energy. For example, upbeat songs help me concentrate and stay productive when I work. In contrast, sad music tends to make me feel low, so I rarely choose it for studying.
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
分数: 70.0建议: Answer directly and vary your vocabulary. Use one linking phrase to add a specific example. Avoid repetition (e.g., “I will be so energetic” and “I will start to work more and faster” say similar points). Keep sentences shorter and more natural.
示例: Yes, it usually does. Upbeat music energizes me and helps me work faster; for example, when I’m coding and feel sluggish I put on lively tracks to regain focus and momentum.
Have you taken any music classes?
分数: 68.0建议: Start with a clear topic sentence and give one concise reason with chronological linking. Avoid awkward grammar (e.g., “after graduate” → “after graduating”) and unnecessary repetition about study and work. Two sentences are sufficient.
示例: No, I haven't taken any music classes because I spent most of my time studying and doing coding at university. After graduating I started working, so I didn’t have time to study music formally.
Do you listen to music while doing other things?
分数: 70.0建议: Give a direct answer, then one clear supporting detail with a concrete example. Avoid absolute statements like “otherwise I would be lazy” — instead explain the effect music has on your focus. Use present simple consistently.
示例: Yes, I often listen to music while I work, especially when I'm coding or debugging. It helps me stay focused and prevents me from getting distracted or feeling unmotivated.
× I prefer to listen to happy music because it will make me motivated and energetic to work, while sad music would make me feel depression and sometimes cause some serious health issues.
✓ I prefer listening to happy music because it makes me feel motivated and energetic for work, while sad music would make me feel depressed and sometimes cause serious health issues.
Issues: incorrect verb form after 'prefer' (use gerund: 'prefer listening' or 'prefer to listen' both ok), incorrect tense/modal use ('will make' is unnatural for habitual preference; use simple present 'makes'), wrong noun/adjective ('feel depression' should be 'feel depressed'), unnecessary article 'some' before 'serious health issues'. Suggestion: use gerund or infinitive consistently, use simple present for general truths, use 'depressed' as adjective.
× Yes it does, because I will be so energetic and I like to listen to these kind of music and then I will start to work more and faster.
✓ Yes, it does, because I become energetic and I like to listen to this kind of music, and then I start to work more quickly.
Issues: unnecessary future 'will' for habitual reaction (use simple present), plural mismatch 'these kind of music' should be 'this kind of music' or 'these kinds of music', adverb placement and choice ('more and faster' -> 'more quickly' or 'faster'). Suggestion: use simple present for habitual statements, match demonstrative and noun number, use appropriate adverb.
× Like for example when I'm coding and I feel lazy or something then I would play any happy music.
✓ For example, when I'm coding and I feel lazy, I play happy music.
Issues: unnecessary 'would' for habitual past/future—use simple present 'I play' for regular action; 'any happy music' is unnatural—use 'happy music'. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions, simplify phrasing.
× No, I haven't taken any classes because most of my time either doing some coding or studying at university.
✓ No, I haven't taken any classes because most of my time has been spent either coding or studying at university.
Issues: after 'most of my time' need perfect construction 'has been spent' or pattern 'I spend most of my time', gerund forms correct ('coding' not 'doing some coding' preferred), sentence lacked auxiliary. Suggestion: use 'has been spent' or 'I spend' to express time allocation.
× So when I was in university I would focus only on the study and after graduate I went to get a job and work there.
✓ When I was at university, I focused only on my studies, and after graduating I got a job and worked there.
Issues: 'would focus' is inappropriate for a past habitual fact—use simple past 'focused'; 'the study' should be 'my studies'; 'after graduate' should be 'after graduating'; 'went to get a job and work there' awkward—use 'got a job and worked there'. Suggestion: use simple past for completed past actions and correct verb forms for sequence.
× Yes I do because most of my time involved listening to music while I'm doing coding or any other software development activities.
✓ Yes, I do, because I usually listen to music while I'm coding or doing other software development activities.
Issues: 'most of my time involved listening' is incorrect tense/structure—use 'I usually listen' or 'most of the time I listen'; 'doing coding' is unnatural—use 'coding'; maintain consistent tense (present habits). Suggestion: use adverbs of frequency and natural collocations: 'listen to music while coding'.
× Otherwise I would be lazy and not doing any job.
✓ Otherwise I would be lazy and not do any work.
Issues: mixing conditional/modal 'would' with progressive 'not doing' is awkward here; use 'not do any work' for ability/habitual outcome, or rephrase 'I would be lazy and not get any work done.' Suggestion: choose consistent verb form after modal and use natural collocation 'do work' or 'get work done'.
