Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
Absolutely not. Because I have a mind of a goldfish. I forget things very easily, but I have to force myself if I am. If I have to memorize something by heart, I have to I I will use techniques. For example, I will go write it down several times and rereading it to memorize.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, there was a time when I forgot my phone at school and I actually sat on the sofa and I looked at without looking to to check whether I forget anything. And then when I got back home I checked my bag and I didn't find it.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
All I can describe my daily life as quite structured. I usually plan, plan everything and I actually enforce myself to remember the plans that I have set myself to do. For example, I'm going to wake up at 7:00 and I have to before waking before the morning. I have to put an alarm at night, so that's the most.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
Personally, I can recall things better by writing it down or watching it in motion. For example, watching a movie about or a video about it. For example, I am trying to learn grammar and for grammar structure I have to use videos and write it down.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Be more concise and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler, and use one or two specific techniques with linking words. Improve grammar (e.g., "Because" should not start a sentence alone) and pronunciation of verbs. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Example: Not really. I find it hard to memorise things, so I use techniques to help me. For example, I write key points down and rehearse them aloud several times, and I also use mnemonics to link ideas together. These methods make memorising much easier for me.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence, organise the sequence of events with linking words (first, then, finally), correct tense and reduce redundant phrases. Be specific about consequences or how you felt to add depth.
Example: Yes. Once I forgot my phone at school. At first I checked my bag and sofa but I didn't notice it, so when I got home I realised it was missing. Eventually I called the school and a teacher found it in the classroom, which was a big relief.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence and avoid repetition. Use linking words to list examples and fix unclear phrasing. Be specific about routines and tools (alarms, apps, lists) and keep answer within 3–4 sentences.
Example: My daily life is quite structured, so I need to remember routines and appointments. For instance, I always set an alarm to wake up at 7:00 and I use a checklist app to track tasks during the day. This helps me stick to my plans and avoid missing anything important.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Give a concise topic sentence, explain one or two reliable methods with linking words, and provide a specific example of how you apply them. Avoid vague phrases like "watching it in motion" and correct small grammar issues.
Example: I remember important information by combining notes with visual materials. For example, when I learn grammar I write example sentences and watch short explanatory videos, which helps me see the rules in context and remember them more easily.
× Absolutely not. Because I have a mind of a goldfish.
✓ Absolutely not, because I have the memory of a goldfish.
Original uses 'a mind of a goldfish' which is an incorrect idiomatic expression and awkward pronoun/possessive use. Use 'the memory of a goldfish' which is the correct idiom meaning poor memory. Also combine sentences with a comma for fluency.
× I forget things very easily, but I have to force myself if I am.
✓ I forget things very easily, and I have to force myself to remember.
Original ends with 'if I am', a fragment that makes no sense. The intended meaning is to force oneself to remember; replace fragment with 'to remember' and connect clauses properly.
× If I have to memorize something by heart, I have to I I will use techniques.
✓ If I have to memorize something by heart, I will use techniques.
Original contains repeated words 'I have to I I' and wrong tense sequence. Use simple future 'I will use' to indicate intention. Remove extraneous words.
× For example, I will go write it down several times and rereading it to memorize.
✓ For example, I will write it down several times and reread it to memorize it.
Original mixes infinitive and -ing forms incorrectly ('go write' is informal and awkward; 'rereading' should match 'write' as base form). Use parallel verbs 'write' and 'reread' and add 'it' for clarity.
× Yes, there was a time when I forgot my phone at school and I actually sat on the sofa and I looked at without looking to to check whether I forget anything.
✓ Yes, there was a time when I forgot my phone at school. I was sitting on the sofa and I was looking around to check whether I had forgotten anything.
Original has tense inconsistency and repetitions 'to to' and incorrect verb forms. Use past continuous 'was sitting' and 'was looking around' for background action and past perfect 'had forgotten' to show the earlier event.
× And then when I got back home I checked my bag and I didn't find it.
✓ Then, when I got back home I checked my bag and didn't find it.
Sentence mostly correct but remove initial 'And' and redundant 'I' in second clause for concision; past tense 'didn't find' is correct.
× All I can describe my daily life as quite structured.
✓ I would describe my daily life as quite structured.
Original word order is incorrect. Use 'I would describe my daily life as...' or 'All I can say is that my daily life is...' for correct structure and meaning.
× I usually plan, plan everything and I actually enforce myself to remember the plans that I have set myself to do.
✓ I usually plan everything, and I force myself to remember the plans I have set.
Original repeats 'plan' and uses 'enforce myself' awkwardly. Use 'force myself' and simplify 'the plans I have set' to avoid redundancy.
× For example, I'm going to wake up at 7:00 and I have to before waking before the morning.
✓ For example, I'm going to wake up at 7:00, so I have to set an alarm before morning.
Original contains garbled phrase 'I have to before waking before the morning'. Clarify intention: setting an alarm before morning. Use correct prepositions 'before morning' and specify action 'set an alarm'.
× I have to put an alarm at night, so that's the most.
✓ I have to set an alarm at night, so that's the most important thing.
Original 'put an alarm' is colloquial and 'so that's the most' is incomplete. Use 'set an alarm' and complete the idea with 'most important thing.'
× Personally, I can recall things better by writing it down or watching it in motion.
✓ Personally, I can recall things better by writing them down or seeing them in action.
Original mixes singular pronoun 'it' with plural 'things'. Use 'them' to match 'things' and 'seeing them in action' is clearer than 'watching it in motion.'
× For example, watching a movie about or a video about it.
✓ For example, by watching a movie or a video about the topic.
Original fragment 'watching a movie about or a video about it' is awkward and missing the object. Use 'about the topic' and include 'by' to show method.
× For example, I am trying to learn grammar and for grammar structure I have to use videos and write it down.
✓ For example, I am trying to learn grammar, and for grammar structures I use videos and write things down.
Original 'write it down' mismatches 'grammar' (uncountable) and 'structure' singular/plural. Use 'grammar structures' and 'write things down' to match plural idea and present simple 'use' for habitual action.
