Part 1
考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
Yes, absolutely. I think chatting with friends is the best way to stay connected and keep updated on each other's lives.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
I usually talk about work and travel plans with my friends. For example, we will share stories about our annoying colleagues and demanding boss, and we also share our travel plans in during the vacations.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
Generally, I would prefer to chat with a small group of three to four people so that everyone gets to share their opinions and the conversation will not get awkward because we run out of things to say. And what's more, it's less noisy than a large.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
I generally prefer to communicate face to face because I believe the nonverbal part of the conversation is also very important. It helps me to understand the other person's emotions through the facial expression and just.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
No, I rarely argue with my friends because I think I have a harmonious relationship with most of my friends and I'm not a person with strong opinions so I normally just go along with their suggestions. But I will speak up if something really bothers me or if it's or it's.
Do you like chatting with friends?
分數: 86.0建議: Your answer is natural and directly addresses the question with a clear topic sentence. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid redundancy and add a brief reason or example using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "for example") to make it more specific.
範例: Yes, absolutely. I enjoy chatting with friends because it helps us stay connected and support one another — for example, we often check in when someone has a big event coming up.
What do you usually chat about with friends?
分數: 72.0建議: You answer the question with relevant topics and an example, but there are some awkward phrases and a minor grammar issue. Improve by using more precise phrasing, avoiding repetitive words, and correcting grammar (e.g., "during vacations" → "during vacations" or "on vacation"). Use a linking word like "also" or "for instance" for cohesion.
範例: I usually talk about work and travel plans. For instance, we sometimes vent about annoying colleagues or a demanding boss, and we also compare ideas for trips we might take during vacation.
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
分數: 78.0建議: Good structure and clear preference. To improve, make sentences more concise and fix the incomplete ending ("larger groups" or "a large group"). Use a linking phrase such as "because" or "as a result" to connect reasons smoothly.
範例: I prefer chatting with a small group of three or four people because everyone can share their opinions and the conversation stays flowing, and it’s less chaotic than a large group.
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
分數: 64.0建議: Your answer gives a clear preference but contains an unfinished ending and some awkward wording ("facial expression and just"). Improve by completing the thought, using plural where needed ("facial expressions"), and adding a brief example or consequence linked with "so" or "therefore."
範例: I prefer face-to-face communication because nonverbal cues are important — for example, seeing someone’s facial expressions and body language helps me understand their emotions more accurately.
Do you argue with friends?
分數: 56.0建議: You answer directly and give reasons, but the response is long, slightly repetitive, and ends abruptly ("if it's or it's"). Improve by making it more concise, avoiding repetition, and completing the conditional clause (e.g., "if it's important"). Add a linking word like "however" to contrast the two ideas.
範例: No, I rarely argue with friends because we usually get along and I tend to be easygoing; however, I will speak up if something really bothers me or if it affects me significantly.
× For example, we will share stories about our annoying colleagues and demanding boss, and we also share our travel plans in during the vacations.
✓ For example, we will share stories about our annoying colleagues and our demanding boss, and we also share our travel plans during vacations.
Error: incorrect or missing article and extra preposition. 'Demanding boss' refers to a specific noun related to 'colleagues', so include 'our' for parallelism. Remove the extra preposition 'in' before 'during'. Also 'the vacations' is unnatural in this general context; use 'vacations' or 'the vacation' depending on meaning. Suggestion: keep parallel possessives ('our annoying colleagues and our demanding boss') and use 'during vacations' or 'during the vacation' depending on whether you mean repeated holiday periods.

✓ Generally, I would prefer to chat with a small group of three to four people so that everyone gets to share their opinions and the conversation will not get awkward because we run out of things to say. And what's more, it's less noisy than a large group.
Error: missing noun after adjective 'large'. The adjective 'large' must be followed by a noun ('group') or use 'one' (less noisy than a large one). Suggestion: add 'group' for clarity ('a large group') or 'one' if referring back to 'group'.
× It helps me to understand the other person's emotions through the facial expression and just.
✓ It helps me to understand the other person's emotions through facial expressions and gestures.
Error: unclear and incomplete phrase 'and just' and incorrect singular 'the facial expression' when speaking generally. Use plural 'facial expressions' for general behavior and replace the incomplete 'and just' with a suitable noun like 'gestures'. Suggestion: use clear parallel nouns for ways of conveying emotion ('facial expressions and gestures').
× No, I rarely argue with my friends because I think I have a harmonious relationship with most of my friends and I'm not a person with strong opinions so I normally just go along with their suggestions. But I will speak up if something really bothers me or if it's or it's.
✓ No, I rarely argue with my friends because I have harmonious relationships with most of them and I'm not a person with strong opinions, so I normally just go along with their suggestions. But I will speak up if something really bothers me or if it's important.
Error: repetition 'it's or it's' creates an incomplete sentence; awkward phrasing 'I think I have a harmonious relationship with most of my friends' is wordy. Also subject repetition can be tightened. Suggestion: simplify to 'I have harmonious relationships with most of them' and replace the unfinished phrase with a clear condition ('if it's important').
× I usually talk about work and travel plans with my friends. For example, we will share stories about our annoying colleagues and demanding boss, and we also share our travel plans in during the vacations.
✓ I usually talk about work and travel plans with my friends. For example, we share stories about our annoying colleagues and our demanding boss, and we also share our travel plans during vacations.
Error: inconsistent verb forms 'I usually talk' (present simple) mixed with 'we will share' (future) which is unnecessary for habitual actions. Use present simple 'we share' to describe regular activities. Suggestion: maintain present simple for habitual routines ('I usually talk... For example, we share...').
