Part 1

Where is your hometown?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct minor grammar (e.g., "on the east coast"), and combine short sentences to avoid choppiness. Add one specific detail to enrich the response.

Example: My hometown is Sokcho, a small coastal city on the east coast of South Korea. It’s known for its fresh seafood and views of nearby mountains, which make it popular with tourists.

What do you like about your home town?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and use correct grammar and linking words. Use specific examples and connect ideas: say what you like, give a reason, and perhaps a brief example. Avoid vague phrases like "very popular my country."

Example: I like the natural scenery in Sokcho, especially the combination of beaches and mountains. For example, Seoraksan National Park is nearby, so I often go hiking and then relax on the beach afterward.

How long have you lived there?

Score: 38.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear, grammatically correct answer using a simple time expression. Avoid unclear or incorrect words. If you have lived there all your life, say so and optionally add a short supporting detail (linking word) about whether you still live there.

Example: I have lived in Sokcho all my life. I was born there and still live there now, although I sometimes stay in other cities for work or study.

Is your home town a good place for young people?

Score: 56.0

Suggestion: Structure the response: give a clear opinion, then explain with specific reasons and use linking words (however, because, for example). Correct grammar (e.g., "sometimes"). Provide one or two concrete examples of what is good or lacking.

Example: It depends. On the one hand, Sokcho is great for young people who enjoy outdoor activities because there are beaches and hiking near Seoraksan. However, it’s less ideal for nightlife or arts lovers because cultural facilities and entertainment options are limited.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× My hometown is located in east side of South Korea.

My hometown is located on the east side of South Korea.

Use the correct preposition 'on' with 'the east side' and include the definite article 'the' before 'east side'. The correct phrase is 'on the east side of South Korea.' Suggestion: Use 'on the [direction] side of [place]'.

Sentence structure errors

× Hometown name is Sokcho.

The name of my hometown is Sokcho.

The original lacks a subject and article and the word order is unnatural. Use a full noun phrase 'The name of my hometown' followed by the verb 'is'. Suggestion: Use complete subject-verb structure: 'The name of my hometown is...'.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× It's a tiny coastal city.

It's a tiny coastal city.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Kept for completeness.

Incorrect use of articles

× My hometown has a beautiful scenery such as beach and mountain.

My hometown has beautiful scenery such as beaches and mountains.

'Scenery' is an uncountable noun and does not usually take 'a'. When giving examples use plural countable nouns 'beaches' and 'mountains'. Suggestion: Use 'beautiful scenery' and plural forms for examples: 'such as beaches and mountains.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× It is very popular my country.

It is very popular in my country.

The preposition 'in' is required to indicate location or scope ('popular in my country'). Also word order must place 'in my country' after 'popular'. Suggestion: Use 'popular in [place]'.

Present tense issue

× I live whole of my life.

I have lived here my whole life.

To express an action that started in the past and continues to the present, use the present perfect 'have lived'. Also include 'here' and the phrase 'my whole life' in correct order. Suggestion: Use 'I have lived here my whole life.'

Sentence structure errors

× I burned.

(Remove sentence)

'I burned.' is unclear and likely unintended; it is a complete sentence but does not make sense in context. If the speaker meant 'I was born,' the correct sentence is 'I was born here.' Suggestion: Replace with 'I was born here.' if that was the intended meaning.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Here and I lived until now.

I have lived here until now.

Correct word order is subject-verb-place. Use present perfect 'have lived' to show continuity to the present and place 'here' after the verb. 'Until now' is acceptable to emphasize up to the present. Suggestion: 'I have lived here until now.'

Modal verb usage

× Umm, sometime very good but also bad because it has a good nature but cultural facility is very it's very low quality.

Sometimes it is very good but also bad, because it has great natural scenery, but cultural facilities are of very low quality.

Multiple errors: 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' (adverb), missing subject and verb 'it is', adjective order and choice ('good nature' -> 'natural scenery'), 'cultural facility' should be plural 'cultural facilities', and awkward repetition 'it's very'. Use 'are of very low quality' for noun phrase describing quality. Suggestion: Break into clearer clauses and use plural nouns for general reference: 'Sometimes it is very good but also bad, because it has great natural scenery, but cultural facilities are of very low quality.'

Third person singular issue

× it has a good nature

it has great natural scenery

While 'it has' is grammatically fine, the noun phrase 'a good nature' is unnatural for describing a place. Use 'great natural scenery' or 'beautiful nature'. Also maintain 'has' for third person singular. Suggestion: Use more natural collocations like 'has beautiful natural scenery.'

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× cultural facility is very it's very low quality

cultural facilities are of very low quality

Use plural 'facilities' to talk generally and correct structure 'are of very low quality' rather than 'it's very low quality'. Remove repetition. Suggestion: 'cultural facilities are of very low quality.'
