Part 1
Examiner
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidate
Not really. I was quite shy as a child and didn't enjoy being in crowded places. I preferred to stay at home reading novels or watching TV, which felt more comfortable for me.
Examiner
Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidate
Sure, my favorite part of the city is definitely its parks because they give me a piece of green space to escape my busy routine and recharge. For example, I often go for a short walk there after study to unwind and clear my mind.
Examiner
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidate
I'd love to see more parks in my city. I often go jogging or hang out with my friends in parks, and the extra green spaces with beaches and walking trails would help people stay healthier and make it easier for neighborhoods to meet and socialize.
Examiner
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidate
Absolutely. Since I live in land, I really get to enjoy ocean views, so I've always wanted to visit seaside parks in coastal cities. The fresh air and ocean scenery sound amazing, and I'd love to take long walks along the shore and try some local seafood.

Score: 78.0Suggestion: Your response is clear and relevant with a direct topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, make answers more concise (max 5 sentences) and add a brief specific example or a linking word to connect ideas (e.g., “so” or “therefore”). Also vary vocabulary slightly (use synonyms for “comfortable” or “shy”). Avoid minor redundancy ("reading novels or watching TV" is fine but could be tightened).
Example: Not really. I was quite shy as a child, so I avoided crowded places and preferred staying at home. For example, I often spent afternoons reading novels or watching TV, which felt much more relaxing.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 86.0Suggestion: Good direct answer with specific reason and an example. Improve by using smoother linking words and slightly more natural phrasing ("after study" → "after studying" or "after my studies"). You could add one more concrete detail (time of day or a typical route) to enrich the response while keeping it concise.
Example: Yes. Parks are my favorite part of the city because they provide green space to escape my busy routine and recharge. For example, I often go for a short walk in the park after studying in the evening to unwind and clear my mind.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: Solid answer with reasons and potential benefits. To improve, avoid mixing unrelated elements ("green spaces with beaches" sounds odd unless city is coastal). Use clear linking phrases (e.g., "because" or "as a result") and give one precise benefit or example (e.g., reduced stress, community events). Keep sentences varied and concise.
Example: Yes, I'd love more parks in my city because they encourage exercise and social interaction. For instance, extra walking trails and open lawns would make it easier for neighbors to jog, meet up, or hold small community events.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: Clear enthusiasm and a specific type of park. Improve accuracy and phrasing ("I live inland" not "in land") and tighten sentences. Add a brief linked detail such as a particular coastal city or an activity plan (e.g., watch sunrise, take photos) to make it more vivid and specific.
Example: Absolutely. I live inland, so I've always wanted to visit seaside parks in coastal cities. For example, I'd like to walk along the shore at sunrise, enjoy the fresh air and ocean scenery, and try local seafood at a nearby market.
× For example, I often go for a short walk there after study to unwind and clear my mind.
✓ For example, I often go for a short walk there after studying to unwind and clear my mind.
The phrase 'after study' is incorrect in this context. After + verb requires a gerund ('studying') to indicate an activity that precedes another. Use 'after studying' to show the action that happens before the walk. Also 'study' as a noun would need an article or modifier (e.g., 'after my studies'), but a gerund fits the intended meaning best.
× I'd love to see more parks in my city. I often go jogging or hang out with my friends in parks, and the extra green spaces with beaches and walking trails would help people stay healthier and make it easier for neighborhoods to meet and socialize.
✓ I'd love to see more parks in my city. I often go jogging or hang out with my friends in parks, and extra green spaces with beaches and walking trails would help people stay healthier and make it easier for neighbors to meet and socialize.
The original sentence is mostly correct but uses 'neighborhoods to meet and socialize' which is awkward because neighborhoods are areas, not people. Replacing 'neighborhoods' with 'neighbors' (people who live nearby) corrects the meaning. Also removing 'the' before 'extra green spaces' makes the phrase more natural. This is a sentence structure and word choice issue.
× Since I live in land, I really get to enjoy ocean views, so I've always wanted to visit seaside parks in coastal cities.
✓ Since I live on land, I don't usually get to enjoy ocean views, so I've always wanted to visit seaside parks in coastal cities.
'Live in land' is ungrammatical; the correct preposition is 'on land' when contrasting with the sea. However, the original sentence seems to intend that the speaker does not live near the ocean, so adding 'don't usually' clarifies the meaning. If the speaker truly meant they live on land and therefore enjoy ocean views, that would be unusual; most likely they meant the opposite. This fixes the preposition and clarifies intent.
× The fresh air and ocean scenery sound amazing, and I'd love to take long walks along the shore and try some local seafood.
✓ Fresh air and ocean scenery sound amazing, and I'd love to take long walks along the shore and try some local seafood.
This is a minor article usage suggestion: removing 'The' at the start makes the sentence more general and natural when talking about these qualities in general. The original is not strictly wrong, but this change improves fluency.
