Hometown— Part 1 Report
Conversation
Part 1
Examiner
Where is your hometown?
Candidate
I'm from Monkton, which is a residential area in Seoul. Most of the the apartments there are quite old, so people are actually waiting for them to be rebuilt, but it's still a really convenient place to live.
Examiner
What do you like about your home town?
Candidate
What I like most is having a Public Library nearby. Plus there are lots of parks and the air is quite clean, so it's a great place to take a walk safely.
Examiner
How long have you lived there?
Candidate
I have lived there for over 20 years. I spent most of my school years in that area from elementary to middle school, so I know the neighborhood inside out.
Examiner
Is your home town a good place for young people?
Candidate
Yes, definitely. There is a huge apart department store called The Day where young people can hang out and shop. Also we have Motor Stadium so they can enjoy watching baseball games or even go ice skating.
Evaluation
Overall
Part 1
Where is your hometown?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the place, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct small errors (duplicate 'the').

What do you like about your home town?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: Good structure and clear points. Improve naturalness by avoiding capitalizing common nouns and using a linking phrase to connect ideas. Add one specific example to make it more vivid.
Example: I like that there's a public library close to my home, which I visit often to borrow books and study. In addition, there are many parks and the air is fairly clean, so I enjoy taking long walks in the evenings.
How long have you lived there?
Score: 90.0Suggestion: Strong, direct answer. You can improve cohesion by using a linking word to connect the time period with the reason you know it well, and avoid repeating similar ideas.
Example: I've lived in Monkton for over 20 years. Because I attended elementary and middle school locally, I know the neighborhood inside out and have many long-term friendships there.
Is your home town a good place for young people?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: Be careful with word choice (e.g., 'apart department store' is unclear). Give clearer specific examples and link them with a reason why they matter to young people. Keep it concise.
Example: Yes, definitely. For example, a large shopping complex called The Day provides cafes and shops where young people socialize, and the Motor Stadium hosts baseball games and seasonal ice skating, offering fun leisure activities.
