Part 1
Examiner
Do you have a favorite teacher?
Candidate
Yes, I do. I really admire one of my teachers in university. She's so clever that she could explain such complex things into a very simple and understandable, at least for me. That's the reason why I really adore her.
Examiner
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Candidate
I wouldn't say no, but I would say there's a possibility in me to become a teacher in the future as I wanted to continue my master degree, oversee and then I will consider to be teachers or not.
Examiner
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
Candidate
Of course, in fact, I still remember all the names. And what have they done that impactful for me? I think that teachers is so underrated. They are one of the most important people that build character in students and I feel like teachers are underrated.
Examiner
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
Candidate
Unfortunately no, because I moved to another city to pursue my study and I haven't really get in touch with many people from my primary school, including my friends.
Examiner
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
Candidate
One of the reasons why my favorite teacher is so impactful in my life was because she gave me the courageous to never give up and also help me in so many things. Plus she really just a great and kind person.
Do you have a favorite teacher?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Make the response more concise and correct small grammar issues. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid redundancy and keep it under five sentences.
Example: Yes. My favorite teacher at university is my biology lecturer because she explains complex concepts in simple, memorable ways. For example, she uses clear diagrams and everyday analogies, which helped me understand cell processes quickly.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first (yes/no/maybe), then explain briefly and clearly with correct grammar. Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' and avoid unclear phrases like 'oversee'. Keep it to two or three sentences.
Example: Maybe. I might become a teacher after completing my master's degree because I enjoy helping others learn, but I will decide after gaining more experience in my field.
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Answer directly about a specific past teacher and give one or two concrete reasons why you remember them. Correct grammar (e.g., 'teachers are underrated') and avoid rhetorical questions that reduce clarity. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for example'.
Example: Yes. I still remember my high school math teacher, Mr. Lee, because he made lessons engaging and encouraged me when I struggled. For example, he spent extra time after class to explain problems, which boosted my confidence.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Provide a concise direct answer and add one brief reason using correct tense (e.g., 'haven't been in touch'). You can add a short mention of whether you plan to reconnect to enrich the response.
Example: No, not really. I moved to another city to study, so I haven't been in contact with my primary school teachers, though I hope to reconnect with some of them online in the future.
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence stating how she helped you, then give specific examples and correct word choice (e.g., 'courage' not 'courageous'). Use linking words like 'for example' or 'she also' and limit to three sentences.
Example: She helped me by giving me the courage to keep trying when I failed. For example, she stayed after class to tutor me and praised small improvements, which motivated me to study harder.
× She's so clever that she could explain such complex things into a very simple and understandable, at least for me.
✓ She's so clever that she can explain such complex things in a very simple and understandable way, at least for me.
Use of 'could' in this context is awkward because the speaker describes an ability in general/present; 'can' is appropriate. Also, the verb 'explain' takes a preposition 'in' and the noun 'way' is needed after 'understandable' to form the phrase 'understandable way'. Replace 'into' with 'in' and add 'way' to make the expression natural.
× I wouldn't say no, but I would say there's a possibility in me to become a teacher in the future as I wanted to continue my master degree, oversee and then I will consider to be teachers or not.
✓ I wouldn't say no, but I would say there's a possibility that I might become a teacher in the future because I want to continue my master's degree, study abroad, and then I will consider whether to become a teacher or not.
Multiple issues: 'there's a possibility in me' is unnatural; use 'possibility that I might'. 'Wanted' should be present 'want' to match future plans. 'Master degree' needs possessive 'master's degree'. 'Oversee' is incorrect; likely 'study abroad' or 'go overseas'. 'Consider to be teachers' is wrong structure; use 'consider whether to become a teacher'. Present tense is used for planned future actions.
× Of course, in fact, I still remember all the names. And what have they done that impactful for me? I think that teachers is so underrated.
✓ Of course, in fact, I still remember all their names. And what they did that was so impactful for me? I think that teachers are so underrated.
Pronoun/reference: 'all the names' is acceptable but 'all their names' is clearer. 'What have they done that impactful for me?' is ungrammatical; use past simple 'did' and insert 'was' before 'so impactful'. Subject-verb agreement: 'teachers is' should be 'teachers are'.
× They are one of the most important people that build character in students and I feel like teachers are underrated.
✓ They are some of the most important people who build character in students, and I feel like teachers are underrated.
'One of the most important people' implies plural 'some of the' or keep 'one of the' with singular subject; here better to say 'some of the most important people'. Also use 'who' for people rather than 'that'. The rest is fine.
× Unfortunately no, because I moved to another city to pursue my study and I haven't really get in touch with many people from my primary school, including my friends.
✓ Unfortunately no, because I moved to another city to pursue my studies and I haven't really gotten in touch with many people from my primary school, including my friends.
'Pursue my study' should be plural 'pursue my studies'. In present perfect, the past participle 'gotten' (or 'got' in some varieties) is required after 'have'; 'get' is incorrect. Use 'haven't really gotten in touch'.
× One of the reasons why my favorite teacher is so impactful in my life was because she gave me the courageous to never give up and also help me in so many things.
✓ One of the reasons my favorite teacher has been so impactful in my life is that she gave me the courage to never give up and also helped me in so many ways.
Use 'has been' or present simple 'is' to link ongoing impact; original used past 'was' inconsistently. 'Gave me the courageous' is wrong: use the noun 'courage'. 'Help' needs past form 'helped' to match 'gave' or restructure. 'In so many things' is awkward; use 'in so many ways'.
× Plus she really just a great and kind person.
✓ Plus, she is really a great and kind person.
Missing verb 'is' after subject. Adverb placement: 'really just a great' is awkward; 'really a great and kind person' is natural. Add comma after 'Plus' for clarity.
