Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Candidate
I usually prefer to sit by the window when I'm travel, especially on a plane or a train, because I love looking at the scenery. For example, when I flew to major country, I spend the whole trip watching the coastline and clouds, which made the journey more much more enjoyable.
Examiner
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Candidate
No, I didn't have the opportunity to take a long family trip, so when I was tired because we didn't have much money. We did, however, often go on short outings to the local part and sometimes stop at small roadside shops to eat together, which was always fun and felt special. This improved fashion follows the suggested structure. Give a reason and examples you.
Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Content is relevant and shows personal preference and example, but there are grammatical errors, some awkward phrasing, and slight redundancy. Improve by using correct verb forms (e.g., "when I travel", "I spent"), clearer noun phrases (e.g., "to a major country" is vague — name or say "another city/country"), and remove repetition ("more much more enjoyable"). Keep answers concise (max 3–4 sentences) and use a linking word when giving an example (e.g., "for example" or "in one instance").
Example: I usually prefer to sit by the window when I travel, especially on planes and trains, because I enjoy looking at the scenery. For example, when I flew to another country last year, I spent the whole trip watching the coastline and clouds, which made the journey much more enjoyable.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: The answer conveys the main idea but is disorganized and contains several grammatical mistakes and irrelevant text. Avoid sentence fragments ("so when I was tired because we didn't have much money") and unrelated comments (last sentence seems like notes). Structure your response: give a direct topic sentence, a reason, and a specific example. Use linking words ("however", "for example") correctly and correct vocabulary ("park" not "part"). Keep within 3–4 clear sentences.
Example: No, I didn't go on long family trips as a child because my family couldn't afford them. However, we often went on short outings to the local park and sometimes stopped at small roadside cafés to eat. For example, I remember a summer afternoon when we shared snacks by the lake and played games, which felt very special.
× I usually prefer to sit by the window when I'm travel, especially on a plane or a train, because I love looking at the scenery.
✓ I usually prefer to sit by the window when I'm traveling, especially on a plane or a train, because I love looking at the scenery.
The phrase 'I'm travel' is incorrect because after 'I am' a present participle (-ing) form is required for the progressive: 'I am traveling'. Use 'traveling' (or 'travelling') to form the present continuous. Suggestion: use 'I'm traveling' to indicate the ongoing action of traveling. Grammar problem type ID:10
× For example, when I flew to major country, I spend the whole trip watching the coastline and clouds, which made the journey more much more enjoyable.
✓ For example, when I flew to a major country, I spent the whole trip watching the coastline and clouds, which made the journey much more enjoyable.
Multiple issues: 'flew' (past) requires other verbs in past tense for consistency, so 'spend' should be 'spent' (past tense). Also 'major country' needs an article 'a major country'. 'more much more enjoyable' is redundant; correct phrase is 'much more enjoyable' or 'more enjoyable'. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent (past with past) and remove redundancy.

× No, I didn't have the opportunity to take a long family trip, so when I was tired because we didn't have much money.
✓ No, I didn't have the opportunity to take a long family trip because we didn't have much money, so I was tired.
The original sentence is fragmented and combines clauses improperly ('so when I was tired because...'). This is a sentence structure error. Reorder clauses for clarity: provide the reason ('because we didn't have much money') and then the result ('I didn't have long trips and I was tired'). Suggestion: avoid starting a clause with 'so when' followed by a reason; instead use 'because' for reasons and 'so' for results, keeping a complete main clause. Grammar problem type ID:26
× We did, however, often go on short outings to the local part and sometimes stop at small roadside shops to eat together, which was always fun and felt special.
✓ We did, however, often go on short outings to the local park and sometimes stop at small roadside shops to eat together, which was always fun and felt special.
The word 'part' is a typo or wrong word; the correct preposition+noun is 'local park'. This is an incorrect word choice/preposition error. Suggestion: use 'park' for short outings to outdoor local areas. Grammar problem type ID:11
× This improved fashion follows the suggested structure. Give a reason and examples you.
✓ (Remove this irrelevant fragment: 'This improved fashion follows the suggested structure. Give a reason and examples you.')
These sentences are unrelated to the speaking answer and are ungrammatical ('Give a reason and examples you' is incomplete). This is a sentence structure/content error and should be removed or replaced with an appropriate concluding sentence such as 'Those small trips were memorable because we spent time together.' Suggestion: omit irrelevant editing notes and keep only relevant spoken content. Grammar problem type ID:26
