Examiner

Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?

Candidate

Yes, I do prefer to stay but the window when travelling because it's give me a change to enjoy the views carry and the last cat change. For example, when I visited my my favorite country, I spent the little journey looking at the mountains, rivers and a small village which made the street much more memorable.

Examiner

Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?

Candidate

No, I didn't have a long journey with my family as a child since we didn't have much money. Instead we went to go outings on a weekend to the Dam Park, shopping or going or went to lunch together. That's magic. Me, that's mess. It's more memorable.

Part 1

Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Focus on clarity, correct grammar, and concise structure. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using linking words. Correct common errors (articles, verb forms, word choice) and avoid repetition. Keep answers to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when travelling because I enjoy looking at the scenery. For example, on a recent trip to my favorite country, I spent the short journey watching mountains, rivers and small villages pass by, which made the trip very memorable.

Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Give a direct answer, then support it with clear, specific examples and correct sentence structure. Use linking words like 'instead' and 'however' properly. Remove unclear phrases and informal interjections. Keep to 2–3 coherent sentences.

Example: No, I didn't have long trips with my family as a child because we couldn't afford them. Instead, we often had weekend outings to the dam, went shopping or had lunch together, and these simple trips are my happiest childhood memories.

Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Yes, I do prefer to stay but the window when travelling because it's give me a change to enjoy the views carry and the last cat change.

✓ Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when travelling because it gives me a chance to enjoy the scenery and the landscape.

Pronoun and word choice errors: 'do prefer to stay but the window' is incorrect use of verbs and prepositions; 'it's give' uses incorrect verb form for third person singular; 'change' should be 'chance'; 'views carry and the last cat change' is nonsensical and likely wrong word choices. Fixes: remove unnecessary auxiliary 'do' in affirmative simple present, use 'sit by' instead of 'stay but', use 'gives' for third person singular present (Grammar Problem Type ID 2 Third person singular issue), replace 'change' with 'chance' (word choice), and use 'scenery and landscape' to convey views coherently. Suggestion: practice subject-verb agreement in present simple and choose accurate nouns for meaning.

Sentence structure errors

× For example, when I visited my my favorite country, I spent the little journey looking at the mountains, rivers and a small village which made the street much more memorable.

✓ For example, when I visited my favorite country, I spent the short journey looking at the mountains, rivers and a small village, which made the trip more memorable.

Multiple issues: repeated word 'my my' (typo), incorrect determiner 'the little journey' should be 'the short journey' or 'a short journey' (article/word choice), 'made the street much more memorable' uses wrong noun 'street' and awkward phrasing. This is primarily sentence structure and word-choice problems (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). Fixes: remove duplicate word, choose correct adjective 'short', and replace 'street' with 'trip' to match context. Suggestion: read sentences aloud to check coherence and ensure nouns match intended meaning.

Past tense issue

× No, I didn't have a long journey with my family as a child since we didn't have much money.

✓ No, I didn't have many long journeys with my family when I was a child because we didn't have much money.

Tense and count issues: 'didn't have a long journey' is grammatically possible but sounds odd; plural 'many long journeys' better reflects repeated childhood experiences. Also use 'when I was a child' as standard phrase. This is a past tense/context usage issue (Grammar Problem Type ID 5). Fixes: pluralize 'journey' and use conventional time expression. Suggestion: use plural when referring to repeated events in the past and standard temporal phrase 'when I was a child'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Instead we went to go outings on a weekend to the Dam Park, shopping or going or went to lunch together.

✓ Instead, we went on outings at the weekend to Dam Park, went shopping, or had lunch together.

Preposition and verb form errors: 'went to go outings' is incorrect — use 'went on outings'; 'on a weekend' is better as 'at the weekend' (or 'on weekends'); inconsistent verbs 'shopping or going or went' should be parallel: 'went shopping' and 'had lunch'. Also article usage before 'Dam Park' may not need 'the'. This is primarily incorrect use of prepositions and parallel structure (Grammar Problem Type ID 11). Fixes: use 'went on outings', 'at the weekend', and make verbs parallel. Suggestion: keep verb forms parallel in lists and learn common prepositional phrases like 'go on an outing'.

Sentence structure errors

× That's magic. Me, that's mess. It's more memorable.

✓ Those moments were magical to me; they were messy but more memorable.

Fragmented and unclear sentences: 'That's magic' and 'Me, that's mess' are fragments and misuse pronouns; tense and meaning unclear. This is a sentence structure problem (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). Fixes: combine ideas into a clear sentence, use past tense 'were' to match context, and use adjectives 'magical' and 'messy' correctly. Suggestion: combine short fragments into full sentences and ensure tense consistency.
