Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Do you love flowers?

Candidate

I don't love flowers. First, because they're usually expensive in my hometown, they're grown outside of my area, so flowers are usually pricey when sold in my city. Second, I usually have allergies when I am exposed to pollen, so I don't like flowers at all.

Examiner

Do you know anyone who loves flowers?

Candidate

I have a lot of female friends, they love flowers more than anything, and when I ask them why they love flowers, they just have that sense of femininity when they receive 1. So yeah, I believe that it it's just a matter of perception.

Examiner

Are there a lot of flowers where you live?

Candidate

I live in the city so there is a scarcity on the supply of flowers. They are also sold expensive in my city so yeah I don't see them a lot.

Examiner

Do you take photos of flowers in your daily life?

Candidate

No, I don't like taking pictures of flowers because flowers are there to weather. I just appreciate them as they are and I tend to live in the present so I appreciate them as they falter.

Examiner

Do people in your country often send flowers to others?

Candidate

Flowers are usually given during Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Most people in my country give them to females and they are just occasionally given to someone. We usually give them during space special occasions.

Part 1

Do you love flowers?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question directly and gives two clear reasons, which is good. To improve, make sentences more concise and fluent, avoid repetition (e.g. "usually" used twice), and use linking words to connect reasons (for example, "because", "also"). Try to keep the response within 3–4 sentences and use more natural phrasing (e.g. "I don't really like flowers").

Example: I don't really like flowers. Firstly, they tend to be expensive in my city because they are grown far away. Secondly, I suffer from pollen allergies, so being around flowers makes me feel unwell.

Do you know anyone who loves flowers?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: You answered directly but the response is unclear and contains grammatical errors and vague phrasing ("receive 1", "it it's"). Improve clarity by giving one clear example and a linking phrase to explain your view. Avoid stereotyping; instead say "many of my female friends" and explain a specific reason like "they feel appreciated".

Example: Yes, many of my female friends really enjoy flowers. For example, they often say flowers make them feel appreciated and elegant, so I think it is largely a matter of personal perception.

Are there a lot of flowers where you live?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but contains awkward phrasing ("scarcity on the supply", "sold expensive"). Make sentences more natural and use a linking word to connect ideas, such as "because". Provide a brief specific detail about where you might see flowers (markets, parks) to enrich the response.

Example: Not really. I live in the city, so flowers are scarce and usually expensive. Occasionally I see them at the farmers' market or in park flowerbeds, but they are not common in everyday shops.

Do you take photos of flowers in your daily life?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: The idea is interesting but the phrasing is confusing ("there to weather", "appreciate them as they falter"). Be concise and use clearer language to explain your preference. Link ideas with "because" and give a short reason about living in the present. Avoid poetic but unclear expressions in Part 1.

Example: No, I rarely photograph flowers because I prefer to enjoy them in the moment. I find it more satisfying to appreciate their beauty directly rather than taking pictures.

Do people in your country often send flowers to others?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: You answer the question but have repetition and unclear phrases ("space special occasions"). Be specific about which occasions and use linking words like "for example". Avoid generalizations about gender; instead say "often given to women" and mention other occasions such as funerals or anniversaries for balance.

Example: Yes, people often send flowers on occasions like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. For example, flowers are commonly given to mothers, romantic partners, and sometimes at weddings or funerals.

Grammar

22:Article errors

× I don't love flowers. First, because they're usually expensive in my hometown, they're grown outside of my area, so flowers are usually pricey when sold in my city.

I don't love flowers. First, because they're usually expensive in my hometown; they're grown outside of my area, so the flowers are usually pricey when sold in my city.

Article error: 'flowers are usually pricey' is OK but adds clarity to use 'the flowers' when referring to a specific group already mentioned. Also the sentence structure benefits from punctuation; use a semicolon to join closely related independent clauses. Suggestion: use definite article 'the' when referring back to a specific set already mentioned and fix run-on with proper punctuation.

6:Present tense issue

× Second, I usually have allergies when I am exposed to pollen, so I don't like flowers at all.

Second, I usually have allergies when I am exposed to pollen, so I don't like flowers at all.

No change necessary for tense; sentence correctly uses present simple for habitual condition ('usually have') and present simple for general fact ('I don't like'). No grammatical correction needed.

27:Subject-verb agreement errors

× I have a lot of female friends, they love flowers more than anything, and when I ask them why they love flowers, they just have that sense of femininity when they receive 1.

I have a lot of female friends; they love flowers more than anything, and when I ask them why they love flowers, they just have that sense of femininity when they receive them.

Subject-verb agreement tag: the sentence had a pronoun error ('1' looks like a typo for 'them'). Also run-on sentence should be split or joined with a semicolon. Correction replaces '1' with 'them' to match plural 'friends'. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents and avoid replacing words with digits.

26:Sentence structure errors

× So yeah, I believe that it it's just a matter of perception.

So yeah, I believe that it's just a matter of perception.

Sentence structure error: contains redundant words 'it it's' causing ungrammatical repetition. Remove the extra 'it' to form 'that it's'. Suggestion: read aloud to catch duplicated words.

3:There be issue

× I live in the city so there is a scarcity on the supply of flowers.

I live in the city, so there is a scarcity of flowers.

Incorrect use of prepositional phrase: 'scarcity on the supply of' is awkward and unidiomatic. Use 'scarcity of flowers' or 'a scarcity in the supply of flowers'. Suggestion: use 'scarcity of' to indicate lack of something.

22:Article errors

× They are also sold expensive in my city so yeah I don't see them a lot.

They are also sold expensively in my city, so yeah, I don't see them a lot.

Article/adverb error: 'sold expensive' uses an adjective where an adverb is required. Use 'sold expensively' or better 'are also expensive in my city'. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: use adverbs to modify verbs and adjectives to describe nouns.

4:Modal verb usage

× No, I don't like taking pictures of flowers because flowers are there to weather.

No, I don't like taking pictures of flowers because flowers are meant to weather.

Modal/verb meaning error: 'are there to weather' is unidiomatic. Likely intended meaning is that flowers are meant to weather/withstand weather or to be enjoyed as they weather. Use 'meant to' to express purpose or natural process. Suggestion: use 'meant to' or rephrase to 'they're meant to be enjoyed as they weather'.

10:Verb in the present participle form

× I just appreciate them as they are and I tend to live in the present so I appreciate them as they falter.

I just appreciate them as they are, and I tend to live in the present, so I appreciate them as they fade.

Word choice/participle issue: 'falter' is not the best verb for flowers losing freshness; 'fade' is the correct intransitive verb for flowers losing color. Also improve flow with commas. Suggestion: choose verbs that collocate naturally with the subject (flowers 'fade').

22:Article errors

× Flowers are usually given during Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.

Flowers are usually given on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.

Article/preposition error: use preposition 'on' with specific days ('on Valentine's Day'). Also the sentence is otherwise correct. Suggestion: use 'on' not 'during' for single days.

12:Incorrect use of pronouns

× Most people in my country give them to females and they are just occasionally given to someone.

Most people in my country give them to women, and they are only occasionally given to others.

Pronoun and word choice errors: use 'women' instead of 'females' for people in this context; 'someone' and 'they are just occasionally given to someone' is vague and awkward—use 'others' and 'only occasionally' for clarity. Suggestion: choose natural nouns for people and ensure pronouns clearly match antecedents.

26:Sentence structure errors

× We usually give them during space special occasions.

We usually give them on special occasions.

Sentence structure/word order error: 'during space special occasions' is ungrammatical likely due to an extra word 'space'. Remove 'space' and use 'on special occasions' or 'during special occasions'. Suggestion: proofread for stray words and use correct preposition for occasions.
