Part 1
考官
When did you start using the internet?
考生
I started using the Internet quite early. As far as I remember, I was in grade 5 when we started using Internet. We also had a Wi-Fi server at our home and during those times Internet was more expensive.
考官
How often do you go online?
考生
I am online 24/7. Whenever I get I get a small break during work I open my Instagram to see if my friends have posted anything or if they have sent me any memes. So if. Although I'm not proud of this habit, I am online most of the time.
考官
Can you remember a time you weren’t allowed to use the internet?
考生
I do not remember the time when I was not allowed to use the Internet. The only time when we were not allowed to use the Internet is I can think of as while taking the exams because uh, during that those periods nobody is allowed to look at faults. So apart from that I was not.
考官
Do you think you spend too much time online?
考生
I believe I spend too much time on time and I'm trying to lower the hours I spend online for doing so. I have set up UMM app timer on Instagram and other social media that I use on YouTube as well as I have the habit of doom scrolling.
考官
What would you do without the internet?
考生
Without the Internet I feel I would achieve a lot more things. I would read a book, I would cook, I would clean my room. So I feel like I would pursue my hobbies with even more interest without the Internet.

× I started using the Internet quite early.
✓ I started using the internet quite early.
'Internet' is commonly treated as a common noun in modern usage and is not capitalized; use 'internet'.
× As far as I remember, I was in grade 5 when we started using Internet.
✓ As far as I remember, I was in grade 5 when we started using the internet.
Same article/capitalization issue: 'internet' is not capitalized. No plural error; correction aligns with common noun usage.
× We also had a Wi-Fi server at our home and during those times Internet was more expensive.
✓ We also had a Wi-Fi server at home, and during those times the internet was more expensive.
Use 'the internet' when referring to the service in a specific context. Also omit unnecessary article before 'home' and add a comma before 'and' for clarity.
× I am online 24/7.
✓ I am online 24/7.
Sentence is grammatically correct. It uses present tense appropriately to describe a habitual state; no change needed.
× Whenever I get I get a small break during work I open my Instagram to see if my friends have posted anything or if they have sent me any memes.
✓ Whenever I get a small break during work, I open Instagram to see if my friends have posted anything or sent me any memes.
Remove the duplicated 'I get', add a comma after the subordinate clause, and drop the article before 'Instagram' because app names usually do not take 'my' unless emphasizing ownership; simplify parallel structure by removing the redundant 'they have'.
× So if. Although I'm not proud of this habit, I am online most of the time.
✓ Although I'm not proud of this habit, I am online most of the time.
'So if.' is a sentence fragment and should be removed. The remaining sentence is correct and expresses the intended meaning.
× I do not remember the time when I was not allowed to use the Internet.
✓ I do not remember a time when I was not allowed to use the internet.
Use 'a time' rather than 'the time' to indicate any instance; lowercase 'internet'.
× The only time when we were not allowed to use the Internet is I can think of as while taking the exams because uh, during that those periods nobody is allowed to look at faults.
✓ The only time I can think of when we were not allowed to use the internet was while taking exams, because during those periods nobody is allowed to look at phones.
Reorder phrase for clarity ('the only time I can think of when...'), use past tense 'was' to match 'were', lowercase 'internet', correct 'that those' redundancy, and replace unclear word 'faults' with likely intended 'phones'.
× So apart from that I was not.
✓ So apart from that, I was not.
Add a comma after the introductory phrase for clarity. The sentence is otherwise acceptable colloquial speech.
× I believe I spend too much time on time and I'm trying to lower the hours I spend online for doing so.
✓ I believe I spend too much time online, and I'm trying to reduce the number of hours I spend online to do so.
Remove repeated 'time on time'; use 'spend too much time online'. Use 'reduce the number of hours' instead of 'lower the hours' for natural phrasing and 'to do so' to indicate purpose.
× I have set up UMM app timer on Instagram and other social media that I use on YouTube as well as I have the habit of doom scrolling.
✓ I have set up an app timer (UMM) on Instagram, YouTube, and other social media, but I still have the habit of doomscrolling.
Add article 'an' before 'app timer', clarify parenthetical app name, list platforms with commas, replace awkward 'that I use on YouTube as well as' with clearer structure, and use the single-word 'doomscrolling'. Use 'but' to contrast the attempt with the continuing habit.
× Without the Internet I feel I would achieve a lot more things.
✓ Without the internet, I think I would accomplish many more things.
Lowercase 'internet', use 'think' for natural speech, and prefer 'accomplish many more things' instead of 'achieve a lot more things' for idiomatic phrasing.
× I would read a book, I would cook, I would clean my room.
✓ I would read books, cook, and clean my room.
Parallel structure: use plural 'books' for general activities, and join actions with commas and 'and' for smoothness.
× So I feel like I would pursue my hobbies with even more interest without the Internet.
✓ So I feel I would pursue my hobbies with even more interest without the internet.
Lowercase 'internet' and remove redundant 'like' for more concise speech. The conditional 'would' is appropriate here.
