Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Candidate
I don't prefer to sit by window when traveling because it makes me feel more alone and I feel lonely when I sit by the windows and I will be losing my sense of belonging.
Examiner
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Candidate
Absolutely no. Honestly, since I was young and I was a child, I don't have the opportunity to have a long journey with my families as they are busy for their works and they are focusing on my studies more than. Entertainment.
Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Score: 56.0Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one specific reason with a linking word. Use varied vocabulary and correct grammar (articles, plurals, verb forms). Keep it within 2–3 sentences.
Example: I usually avoid window seats when I travel because they make me feel isolated. For example, when I sit by the window on buses I tend to zone out and miss social interaction, so I prefer aisle seats where I can talk to other passengers.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then provide one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (plural/singular, articles) and avoid redundant phrases like “since I was young” and “I was a child” together.
Example: No, I rarely had long trips with my family when I was a child because my parents worked long hours. As a result, they prioritized my education over holidays, so we mostly stayed in our hometown and spent vacations at home.

✓ I don't prefer to sit by the window when traveling because it makes me feel more alone, and I feel lonely when I sit by the window; I feel like I will lose my sense of belonging.
Incorrect use of the definite article (ID 17): 'by window' and 'by the windows' are incorrect; English requires 'the window' to refer to the seat next to a specific window. Also tidied repeated ideas and future phrase: 'I will be losing' is awkward here; use 'I feel like I will lose' or simply 'I lose' to match the present feeling. Use commas and a semicolon to improve sentence structure and clarity.
× Absolutely no. Honestly, since I was young and I was a child, I don't have the opportunity to have a long journey with my families as they are busy for their works and they are focusing on my studies more than. Entertainment.
✓ Absolutely not. Honestly, since I was young, I did not have the opportunity to take a long journey with my family because they were busy with their work and focused more on my studies than on entertainment.
Singular and plural issue (ID 1) and related article/word choice errors: 'families' is incorrect because 'my family' is a single unit. 'Works' should be 'work' (uncountable) or 'jobs'. Also tense and structure: the question asks about childhood, so past tense is appropriate ('did not have', 'were busy', 'focused'). 'More than. Entertainment' is ungrammatical; use 'more on my studies than on entertainment.' Combined corrections address plurality and improve grammar and clarity.
