Part 1
考官
Do you work or are you a student?
考生
I'm currently a student at Hong Kong Community College studying for an associate degree in Social Science with US focus on counseling and community service. I chose this view because I'm passionate about helping others.
考官
Where do you study?
考生
I'm now studying in Hong Kong, which is well known for being a bustle city. It can be quite stressful to study there because life is fast-paced and crowded.
考官
Is it a good place to study?
考生
I think it might be a good place to study because there are bunch of things surround us. You will not miss anything because you know Hong Kong is a food paradise if you won't eat anythings you can buy there and because it's crowded, right? So transport is very convenient also.
考官
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
考生
If I got a opportunity to change the place where I study, the some must be yes because I want it to be more uh, quicker or more comfortable while studying. Umm. I hope I can get more a bigger library for me to research or a better lighting for me to have.
考官
What are your future study plans?
考生
Currently I don't really have any definite future plans, but right now I want to pass my IELTS exam, the task, the test and then I can study social science at college to follow my interest after I graduate.
Do you work or are you a student?
分数: 68.0建议: Be more concise and correct minor errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid long, confused phrases (e.g., “with US focus”). Use correct word choice (e.g., “I chose this course” not “view”).

Where do you study?
分数: 73.0建议: Give a clear topic sentence and then one or two specific reasons. Use correct adjectives and linking words (e.g., “a bustling city,” “because,” “so”). Avoid vague statements; provide a concrete example of stressors.
示例: I study in Hong Kong, which is a bustling, fast-paced city. Because it is crowded and noisy, commuting and finding quiet study spaces can be stressful, especially during peak hours.
Is it a good place to study?
分数: 60.0建议: Organize the answer: state your opinion clearly, then support it with two concise, relevant reasons. Correct grammar and avoid repetition. Use linking words like “firstly” and “also” and more precise vocabulary (e.g., “plenty of amenities” instead of “bunch of things”).
示例: Yes, I think Hong Kong is a good place to study. Firstly, there are plenty of amenities such as libraries, cafés and affordable food options nearby. Also, public transport is reliable and convenient, which makes getting to campus easy.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
分数: 62.0建议: Answer directly, use a clear topic sentence and two specific, well-expressed changes you would make. Avoid filler words and unclear phrases (“more quicker”). Be precise about why changes matter. Use linking words like “for example” or “because”.

What are your future study plans?
分数: 70.0建议: Begin with a clear topic sentence about current plans, then give a concise sequence of steps. Avoid repetition (“the task, the test”), and use linking words like “first” and “then.” Mention a specific goal or timeline if possible.

× I'm currently a student at Hong Kong Community College studying for an associate degree in Social Science with US focus on counseling and community service.
✓ I'm currently a student at Hong Kong Community College, studying for an associate degree in Social Science with a US focus on counseling and community service.
The issue is missing the article 'a' before 'US focus' and a missing comma to separate clauses. Use 'a US focus' to indicate one type of focus and add a comma after the college name to clarify the sentence structure.
× I chose this view because I'm passionate about helping others.
✓ I chose this path because I'm passionate about helping others.
The noun 'view' is semantically odd here; 'path' or 'field' fits better. This is a word choice issue categorized under incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. Use a more appropriate noun to match meaning.
× I'm now studying in Hong Kong, which is well known for being a bustle city.
✓ I'm now studying in Hong Kong, which is well known for being a bustling city.
'Bustle' is a noun; the adjective form 'bustling' is required to describe the city. This is an incorrect word form / preposition-related choice; use 'bustling' to modify 'city'.
× It can be quite stressful to study there because life is fast-paced and crowded.
✓ It can be quite stressful to study there because life is fast-paced and the city is crowded.
Add 'the city is' for clarity and natural sentence flow. The present tense 'is' is correct; the problem was omission causing awkwardness. Clarifying the subject improves coherence.
× I think it might be a good place to study because there are bunch of things surround us.
✓ I think it might be a good place to study because there are a bunch of things surrounding us.
Missing the article 'a' before 'bunch' and the verb form should be 'surrounding' to function as a participle modifying 'things'. This is a quantifier and verb form issue.
× You will not miss anything because you know Hong Kong is a food paradise if you won't eat anythings you can buy there and because it's crowded, right?
✓ You will not miss anything because Hong Kong is a food paradise; if you want to eat, you can buy anything there, and because it's crowded, transport is very convenient.
Multiple errors: incorrect use of future negative 'won't' where 'want to' is intended, 'anythings' should be 'anything', and sentence fragments cause confusion. Rephrase for clarity and correct tense/word choice.
× So transport is very convenient also.
✓ So transport is also very convenient.
Word order is awkward. Place 'also' before or after the verb phrase appropriately: 'also very convenient' reads naturally. This is a sentence structure/word order issue.
× If I got a opportunity to change the place where I study, the some must be yes because I want it to be more uh, quicker or more comfortable while studying.
✓ If I had an opportunity to change the place where I study, the answer would be yes because I want it to be quicker and more comfortable for studying.
Use conditional form: 'If I had' (second conditional) and 'would be' for the result. 'a opportunity' needs 'an'. 'the some must be yes' is incorrect; use 'the answer would be yes'. 'Quicker' is vague but acceptable; adjust 'for studying' for clarity.
× Umm. I hope I can get more a bigger library for me to research or a better lighting for me to have.
✓ I hope I can have a bigger library for research or better lighting.
Incorrect word order and unnecessary words: 'more a bigger' is wrong; use 'a bigger library'. 'A better lighting' should be 'better lighting' or 'better lighting facilities'. Remove redundant 'for me to'.
× Currently I don't really have any definite future plans, but right now I want to pass my IELTS exam, the task, the test and then I can study social science at college to follow my interest after I graduate.
✓ Currently I don't really have any definite future plans, but right now I want to pass my IELTS exam, and then I can study social science at college to follow my interests after I graduate.
Remove redundant phrases 'the task, the test'; use 'and then' to link clauses. 'Interest' should be plural 'interests' or 'my interest'—both acceptable; 'interests' is more natural. Tenses are consistent; this corrects redundancy and wording.
