Candidate
Yes because I go on Targets.
Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Answer the question directly and correct the verb: use “like,” not “lie.” Add a specific reason and a supporting detail, such as enjoying the scenery or taking photos. Use a linking word such as “because” or “so” to connect your ideas naturally.
Example: Yes, I prefer to sit by the window because I enjoy looking at the scenery. I can see the countryside, mountains, and interesting buildings along the way, which makes the journey more enjoyable.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Score: 20.0Suggestion: Use the correct past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “I went,” not “I go.” The phrase “go on Targets” is unclear, so describe a specific trip or destination. Begin with a complete answer, then add details about where you went, who travelled with you, and how you felt.
Example: Yes, I did. When I was about ten, my family and I went on a long road trip to the coast. The journey took several hours, but we enjoyed listening to music and stopping at small towns along the way.
× Yes I lie because it's beautiful
✓ Yes, I do, because it's beautiful.
For a question beginning with Do you prefer...?, the short answer should use the auxiliary verb do: Yes, I do. The word lie is also not appropriate here; like is the intended verb. A comma should follow Yes in this short answer.
× Yes because I go on Targets.
✓ Yes, because I went on trips.
The question asks about a journey during the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. The past tense of go is went. Trips is the appropriate word for journeys; targets means goals or objects that someone aims at.
