Part 1

Examiner

Are there any rules for students at your school?

Candidate

So there's a dress code that needs to be followed every Monday, that is to wear a white shirt and a black trouser along with black formal shoes. And that's a rule that has been strictly followed at my school since about 15 to 16 years. And any person who violates the rule is heavily punished.

Examiner

Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?

Candidate

They would benefit from certain kinds of rules, as in the dress code that I previously mentioned. It gives form of discipline that everyone needs to follow at the workplace. But sometimes there are certain rules related to, let's say time restrictions, and up to this time you are allowed to stay in the campus and later on you are not. So that really binds people.

Examiner

Do you have a teacher who does his or her job very well?

Candidate

So I have a professor at my university and he is teaching me material science subject. He is a person of discipline I would say. He always wants things on time and he wants it with perfection. And he really inspires me personally because somehow he always gets all his work done right on time, which is quite difficult for others.

Part 1

Are there any rules for students at your school?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Your answer is generally clear and relevant, but it can be improved by avoiding redundancy and making the response more concise. For example, instead of repeating 'rule' multiple times, you can combine sentences and use linking words to make it more coherent. Also, try to use plural form 'trousers' instead of 'trouser' and avoid unnecessary filler words like 'so'.

Example: Yes, there is a dress code at my school that requires students to wear a white shirt, black trousers, and black formal shoes every Monday. This rule has been strictly enforced for the past 15 to 16 years, and anyone who breaks it faces severe punishment.

Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but lacks clarity and coherence in some parts. To improve, try to use clearer linking words and avoid vague phrases like 'let's say'. Also, explain why some rules might be restrictive and provide a more balanced opinion. Use specific examples and avoid informal expressions.

Example: I believe students benefit from some rules, such as the dress code, because they instil discipline similar to what is expected in the workplace. However, certain rules like strict time restrictions on campus can feel limiting and may not be necessary. Therefore, while some rules are helpful, others should be reconsidered to avoid restricting students unnecessarily.

Do you have a teacher who does his or her job very well?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and provides personal opinion, but it can be improved by using more varied vocabulary and linking words to make the response smoother. Also, avoid starting sentences with 'so' and try to combine short sentences for better flow.

Example: I have a professor at my university who teaches material science. He is a very disciplined person who expects punctuality and perfection in all tasks. I find him inspiring because he consistently completes his work on time, which is challenging for many others.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× So there's a dress code that needs to be followed every Monday, that is to wear a white shirt and a black trouser along with black formal shoes.

So there's a dress code that needs to be followed every Monday, that is to wear a white shirt and black trousers along with black formal shoes.

The word 'trouser' is singular, but it should be plural 'trousers' because it refers to a pair of pants. In English, clothing items like pants, trousers, and shorts are usually plural when referring to one pair.

Singular and plural issue

× And any person who violates the rule is heavily punished.

And any person who violates the rule is heavily punished.

No correction needed here as the sentence is grammatically correct.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× But sometimes there are certain rules related to, let's say time restrictions, and up to this time you are allowed to stay in the campus and later on you are not.

But sometimes there are certain rules related to, let's say, time restrictions, and up to this time you are allowed to stay on the campus and later on you are not.

The correct preposition to use with 'campus' is 'on' rather than 'in' because 'campus' refers to an open area or grounds.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× So I have a professor at my university and he is teaching me material science subject.

So I have a professor at my university and he is teaching me the material science subject.

The noun phrase 'material science subject' needs a definite article 'the' to specify the particular subject being taught.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× He is a person of discipline I would say.

He is a disciplined person, I would say.

The phrase 'person of discipline' is awkward; 'disciplined person' is the correct adjective form to describe someone who has discipline.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× He always wants things on time and he wants it with perfection.

He always wants things on time and he wants them perfectly done.

The phrase 'wants it with perfection' is incorrect. 'Wants them perfectly done' or 'wants perfection' is more natural. Also, 'things' is plural, so 'it' should be 'them'.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× And he really inspires me personally because somehow he always gets all his work done right on time, which is quite difficult for others.

And he really inspires me personally because somehow he always gets all his work done right on time, which is quite difficult for others.

No correction needed here as the sentence is grammatically correct.
