Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 답변이 솔직하고 예시를 들었지만 문법 오류와 반복, 비논리적 흐름이 점수를 깎습니다. 먼저 간단한 주제문으로 바로 대답하고, 이어서 구체적이고 간결한 예시를 한두 문장으로 덧붙이세요. 불필요한 ‘umm’과 반복을 줄이고 관사(a/the)와 직업 표현(part-time, assistant teacher)의 문법을 바로잡으세요. 또한 학생들의 감정을 설명할 때 문장을 명확하게 연결하는 연결어(for example, so, as a result 등)를 사용해 흐름을 부드럽게 만드세요.
Example: No, I'm not very good at memorising things. For example, I work part-time as an assistant teacher at an English learning centre, and sometimes I forget my students' names. As a result, I occasionally call them by the wrong name, which upsets them.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 답은 직접적이고 감정을 표현해 공감은 되지만, 문장 구조가 단순하고 반복적입니다. 구체적인 시간 표현과 액션(what you did afterward)을 추가하면 설득력이 높아집니다. 또한 소유격과 관사의 사용( my dad's birthday -> my father's birthday 또는 my dad's birthday ok)을 자연스럽게 유지하고, ‘umm’ 같은 말버릇을 제거하세요.
Example: Yes, I have. Recently I forgot my father's birthday, and he was understandably upset. After realising my mistake, I apologised and took him out for dinner to make it up to him.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 핵심은 잘 말했지만 문법과 표현 오류가 있고 문장이 어색합니다. 'phones'는 단수일 가능성이 크고, 마지막 문장은 의미가 불분명합니다('have had to work to my workplace' 대신 'had to walk to work' 등). 구체적인 빈도 표현(usually, often)과 결과를 연결하는 표현(so, therefore, as a result)을 정확히 사용하세요.
Example: I need to remember to bring my wallet and my phone before going out, but I often forget them. For example, yesterday I left my wallet at home, so I couldn't pay for the bus and had to walk to work as a result.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 답변이 명확하고 자연스럽지만 어휘와 문법을 조금 다듬으면 더 좋습니다. 'calendar application' 대신 'calendar app'이나 'calendar app on my phone' 같은 자연스러운 표현을 사용하고, 'important schedule' 대신 'important events'나 'important appointments'로 구체화하세요. 추가로 사용 빈도나 방법을 덧붙이면 더 풍부한 답변이 됩니다.
Example: I usually write important events down on the calendar app on my phone, which helps me remember appointments. I also set reminders for a day or an hour before so I don't forget.
× I work a part time at an English and Learning Center as a assist teacher.
✓ I work part-time at an English and Learning Center as an assistant teacher.
'a part time' is incorrect; use the compound adjective 'part-time' or the phrase 'work part-time'. 'a assist teacher' is wrong because 'assistant' is the noun form and needs an article: 'an assistant teacher'. Use 'an' before vowel sound. Suggestion: say 'I work part-time as an assistant teacher at an English and Learning Center.'
× Umm sometimes I'm confused my students names so when I called their name, wrong name.
✓ Umm, sometimes I confuse my students' names, so when I call their name I use the wrong one.
The structure is wrong: 'I'm confused my students names' should be active verb 'I confuse my students' names' with possessive apostrophe. Tenses must match present habit: 'call' not 'called'. 'wrong name' needs article or pronoun: 'the wrong one'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions and mark possession with apostrophe.
× Umm, they so they're so they're so upset.
✓ Umm, they are so upset.
Redundant words and contractions repeated. Use full form 'they are' or contraction 'they're' once. Remove duplicate phrases. Suggestion: keep sentences concise: 'They were very upset' if past, or 'They are so upset' if describing current feeling.
× Yes, I have umm, recently I forgot my dad's birthday so my dad really was upset.
✓ Yes, umm, recently I forgot my dad's birthday, so he was really upset.
Mixing present perfect 'have' with simple past 'forgot' is unnecessary; use simple past 'I forgot' for a completed recent event. Also avoid repeating 'my dad'—use pronoun 'he'. Suggestion: 'Recently I forgot my dad's birthday, so he was really upset.'
× Umm, I was really sorry.
✓ Umm, I felt really sorry.
'I was really sorry' is grammatically acceptable, but 'felt really sorry' is more natural when describing emotion. If keeping original, it's fine; change optional. Suggestion: use 'I felt really sorry' for clarity.
× I have to remember to bring my wallet and phones before going out.
✓ I have to remember to bring my wallet and phone before going out.
Mixed plural 'phones' likely incorrect; choose singular 'phone' if the student has one. 'Have to remember to bring' is fine. Suggestion: use consistent singular/plural nouns.
× Umm, I often forget them.
✓ Umm, I often forget them.
This sentence is correct; 'them' correctly refers to wallet and phone. No change needed.
× Umm yesterday I forgot to bring my wallet so I couldn't take a bus.
✓ Umm, yesterday I forgot to bring my wallet, so I couldn't take the bus.
Add comma before coordinating conjunction. Use definite article 'the bus' for a specific mode of transport in context. Tense 'forgot' and 'couldn't' are correct.
× Therefore I have had to work to my workplace.
✓ Therefore, I had to walk to my workplace.
Original is unclear: 'have had to work to my workplace' is incorrect. Likely intended 'walk' not 'work'. If they meant 'walk', use simple past 'had to walk'. If they meant 'work' as commute, restructure: 'I had to go to my workplace on foot.' Suggestion: clarify verb and use past tense consistently.
× I usually write them down on my calendar application.
✓ I usually write them down in my calendar app.
Use 'in' rather than 'on' for entries inside an app. 'Calendar application' is formal; 'calendar app' is natural. No article needed. Suggestion: 'I usually write them in my calendar app.'
× It's quite useful to remember important schedule.
✓ It's quite useful for remembering important events/schedules.
'To remember important schedule' is ungrammatical: 'schedule' needs modifier and countability. Use 'for remembering important events' or 'for remembering my schedule'. Suggestion: choose 'events' or 'my schedule' and use gerund after 'useful for'.
