Part 1
Examiner
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Candidate
Yes, I do, because it really helps me not noticing how long it takes to arrive at the destination. And you know, I can enjoy the path, not just this nation. It's really good to see out of the window.
Examiner
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Candidate
Yes, I really enjoy recording every single moment of my journey, including taking photos of landmarks that I saw throughout the routes from my window, so I think it's a good way to record the moments.
Examiner
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Candidate
It's actually depends on my mood. I can choose just one of them because I love them both. But if I have to choose just one view, I would rather the view of sea during my journey. I really like the beach, the sea and and like this.
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Make your answer more natural and concise. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail. Avoid vague or incorrect phrases (e.g. “not noticing how long” should be “not notice how long it takes”; “this nation” is incorrect). Use a linking word to connect reason and example.
Example: Yes, I do. I often look out of the window because it helps me not notice how long the journey feels. For example, when I travel by bus I enjoy watching countryside farms and people working, which makes the trip more interesting.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Shorten and clarify your answer. Start with a direct statement, then give a specific reason and one brief example. Replace repetitive phrases like “recording every single moment” with a more natural expression (e.g. “I like to capture highlights”). Use a linking word such as “because” or “for example.”
Example: Yes, I do. I like to capture highlights of my trips because photos help me remember places I’ve seen. For example, on a recent drive I photographed an old bridge and a colourful market I passed.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Make your response grammatically correct, concise and specific. Begin with a clear topic sentence stating the preference, then briefly explain why with one specific detail. Avoid repetition and filler phrases. Use a linking word like “because” to connect reason.
Example: It depends on my mood, but if I must choose I prefer the sea. I enjoy coastal views because the beaches and waves feel relaxing, and I often stop to watch the sunset over the water.
× Yes, I do, because it really helps me not noticing how long it takes to arrive at the destination.
✓ Yes, I do, because it really helps me not to notice how long it takes to arrive at the destination.
Error type: 8: Verb + -ing form. The verb 'help' is followed by the infinitive 'to notice' or the bare infinitive 'notice' rather than the -ing form. Use 'help me not to notice' or 'help me not notice' for correct verb pattern; avoid 'helps me not noticing'.
× And you know, I can enjoy the path, not just this nation.
✓ And you know, I can enjoy the scenery, not just the destination.
Error type: 11: Incorrect use of prepositions/words and 26: Sentence structure errors. 'Path' and 'nation' are incorrect word choices for what is seen from a vehicle; 'scenery' and 'destination' fit the context. Also 'not just this nation' is ungrammatical and unclear. Replace with 'not just the destination' to convey intended meaning.
× It's really good to see out of the window.
✓ It's really nice to look out of the window.
Error type: 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs and 26: Sentence structure errors. 'Good to see out of the window' is awkward; 'nice to look out of the window' is natural. Use 'look out' rather than 'see out'.
× Yes, I really enjoy recording every single moment of my journey, including taking photos of landmarks that I saw throughout the routes from my window, so I think it's a good way to record the moments.
✓ Yes, I really enjoy recording every single moment of my journey, including taking photos of landmarks I see along the route from my window, so I think it's a good way to record moments.
Error type: 6: Present tense issue and 11: Incorrect preposition use. The question is about habitual action, so use present simple 'I see' instead of past 'I saw'. Use 'along the route' rather than 'throughout the routes' and remove the redundant article in 'the moments'.
× It's actually depends on my mood.
✓ It actually depends on my mood.
Error type: 2: Third person singular issue and 27: Subject-verb agreement errors. 'It depends' requires the verb 'depends' without 'is'. Remove 'is' to form correct present simple: 'It depends'.
× I can choose just one of them because I love them both.
✓ I can't choose just one of them because I love them both.
Error type: 26: Sentence structure/errors of meaning and 23: Sentence without a verb? The intended meaning is likely that the speaker cannot choose one because they like both. 'I can choose' contradicts 'because I love them both.' Change to 'I can't choose' for intended meaning.
× But if I have to choose just one view, I would rather the view of sea during my journey.
✓ But if I have to choose just one view, I would rather have the view of the sea during my journey.
Error type: 22: Article errors and 26: Sentence structure errors. Missing verb 'have' after 'would rather' and missing article 'the' before 'sea'. The correct phrasing is 'would rather have the view of the sea'.
× I really like the beach, the sea and and like this.
✓ I really like the beach and the sea and things like that.
Error type: 26: Sentence structure errors and 13: Incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs (repetition). Remove the duplicate 'and', replace 'and like this' with the idiomatic 'things like that' to make the sentence natural.
