Part 1
Examiner
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidate
Yeah, I really like going to the park when I was a child, 'cause my mom was worried about my eyesight, so we just went out and, uh, played with my kindergarten friends.
Examiner
Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidate
Probably not because I'm adult and busy with my works and hobbies. I'm not. I'm not actually a sports type that remains so I don't really want to go to parks and they're so types of entertainment.
Examiner
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidate
Yeah, I think it's helpful for the environment, and this can help us to emphasize the importance of the environment. And if you have parks around your house, you can breathe the fresh air and the sea kinds of birds. I think that's cheerful.
Examiner
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidate
I think it will be the New York National Park because I saw lots of descriptions of this park in some sense or my English textbook. So I really wonder how this park is, and it's really as good as the description in the book.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Make the answer more grammatical, concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, avoid fillers like 'uh', and add one specific supporting detail. Use a linking word to connect reason.
Example: Yes, I loved going to the park as a child. My mother often took me there because she was worried about my eyesight, so I spent afternoons playing games with my kindergarten friends on the grass.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Be clearer and more grammatical. Use a direct topic sentence (present preference), give one or two concrete reasons, and use linking words (however, because). Avoid repetition and unnatural phrases.
Example: Not really — I rarely go to parks now because I am busy with work and my hobbies. Also, since I am not very sporty, I prefer indoor activities like reading or visiting cafés instead.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Make the response more precise and avoid repeating the same idea. Start with a clear opinion, provide two specific benefits with linking words, and use accurate vocabulary (e.g., 'hear birds' not 'sea kinds of birds').
Example: Yes, I would like more parks in my city because they improve air quality and provide green space for relaxation. For example, parks let neighbours exercise, meet each other, and listen to birdsong, which makes the area more pleasant.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Give a clear, natural answer naming the park and explain specifically why you want to visit, using linking words and avoiding vague phrases like 'in some sense'. Provide one concrete detail from the textbook to support your curiosity.
Example: Yes — I would love to visit Yellowstone National Park in the United States because my English textbook described its geysers and wildlife. I am curious to see the geothermal features and to photograph the scenery in person.
× Yeah, I really like going to the park when I was a child, 'cause my mom was worried about my eyesight, so we just went out and, uh, played with my kindergarten friends.
✓ Yeah, I really liked going to the park when I was a child, because my mom was worried about my eyesight, so we would go out and play with my kindergarten friends.
The sentence mixes present tense 'like' with past time marker 'when I was a child.' Use past tense 'liked' to match the past context. Also change 'we just went out and played' to 'we would go out and play' or simple past 'we went out and played' to make the sequence consistent. 'Cause' is informal; use 'because' in corrected form.
× Probably not because I'm adult and busy with my works and hobbies.
✓ Probably not because I'm an adult and busy with my work and hobbies.
The phrase 'I'm adult' is missing the article 'an' before the noun 'adult' so use 'I'm an adult.' 'Works' is incorrect here; use the uncountable noun 'work' for general employment. This is a present-tense general statement, so present simple is appropriate.
× I'm not. I'm not actually a sports type that remains so I don't really want to go to parks and they're so types of entertainment.
✓ I'm not. I'm not actually a sporty type, so I don't really want to go to parks; they are not my kind of entertainment.
Original contains awkward structure and incorrect word forms: 'sports type' should be 'sporty type' or 'sports person.' 'That remains' is meaningless and should be removed. 'They're so types of entertainment' is ungrammatical; replace with 'they are not my kind of entertainment.' This fixes sentence structure and word choice.
× Yeah, I think it's helpful for the environment, and this can help us to emphasize the importance of the environment.
✓ Yeah, I think it's helpful for the environment, and it can help us emphasize the importance of protecting the environment.
Use 'it' to refer back to parks rather than 'this.' 'Help us to emphasize' is acceptable but more natural is 'help us emphasize.' Clarify 'importance of the environment' to 'importance of protecting the environment' for precision. This uses correct present participle and infinitive forms.
× And if you have parks around your house, you can breathe the fresh air and the sea kinds of birds.
✓ And if you have parks near your house, you can breathe the fresh air and see kinds of birds by the sea.
'Around your house' is acceptable but 'near your house' is more natural here. 'Breathe the fresh air and the sea kinds of birds' is incorrect: 'breathe' pairs with 'fresh air' and 'see' pairs with 'kinds of birds.' Also 'sea kinds of birds' should be 'birds by the sea' or 'seabirds.' This corrects preposition and collocation usage.
× I think that's cheerful.
✓ I think that's pleasant.
While not strictly ungrammatical, 'cheerful' describes people rather than places; 'pleasant' or 'cheerful' as 'it makes me cheerful' would be better. This recommends a more natural adjective for present-tense opinion.
× I think it will be the New York National Park because I saw lots of descriptions of this park in some sense or my English textbook.
✓ I think it will be New York National Park because I read many descriptions of this park in my English textbook.
'I saw lots of descriptions' should be 'I read many descriptions' in reference to a textbook. 'In some sense or' is extraneous and ungrammatical; remove it. Use future 'will be' is acceptable for future intention or preference. Also 'the New York National Park' may drop 'the' if it's a proper name 'New York National Park.'
× So I really wonder how this park is, and it's really as good as the description in the book.
✓ So I really wonder what the park is like, and whether it is really as good as the description in the book.
English prefers 'what the park is like' rather than 'how this park is.' Also combine with a question of comparison using 'whether it is really as good as' to make the sentence natural. This fixes sentence structure and phrasing.
