Part 1

Examiner

Do you use headphones?

Candidate

Yes, I do use headphones every day in my daily life because I enjoy listening to music, so I usually use headphones to listen music when I'm working.

Examiner

What type of headphones do you use?

Candidate

He used the wireless hot phones Citrus Airports because they are more comfortable when I'm doing workouts or jogging, while headphones tend to get in the way and can be distracting, whereas wireless ones allow me to move more freely.

Examiner

When would you use headphones?

Candidate

I usually use headphones when I'm working because listening to music makes me feel more concentrated on my work usually, especially when I'm staying in the library.

Examiner

In what conditions would you not use headphones?

Candidate

I wouldn't use headphones when I'm taking public transport or walking because heaven will kind of block out some noises which lowers my awareness to the surrounding environments.

Examiner

Is wearing headphones comfortable?

Candidate

Yes, wearing headphones are comfortable for me. I do not feel my Airpods are heavy or it doesn't suit my ears. So I think wearing headphones are suitable and comfortable.

Part 1

Do you use headphones?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct minor grammar: use one clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Avoid redundancy ("every day" and "in my daily life" both same). Use correct verb forms and prepositions ("listen to music").

Example: Yes, I use headphones every day because I enjoy listening to music. I often wear them while working since music helps me concentrate, especially during long tasks.

What type of headphones do you use?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Correct pronunciation/word choice and grammar, use one topic sentence naming the type, then a concise reason. Avoid confusing or incorrect product names and tense errors (use present tense).

Example: I use wireless in-ear headphones, such as AirPods, because they are lightweight and stay in place when I exercise. Therefore they don't get in the way during workouts and let me move freely.

When would you use headphones?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Reduce repetition ("usually" twice) and improve phrasing ("feel more concentrated" -> "help me concentrate"). Start with a clear topic sentence then add a specific context and brief reason using a linking word.

Example: I usually wear headphones while I'm working because music helps me concentrate. For example, I put them on in the library to block distractions and stay focused.

In what conditions would you not use headphones?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Fix word choice and clarity: replace incorrect word "heaven" with "they" and be specific about safety concerns. Use one clear sentence stating situations and a second sentence explaining the reason with a linking phrase.

Example: I avoid using headphones when I'm on public transport or walking in busy areas because they block environmental sounds. As a result, my awareness of traffic and announcements would be reduced, which could be unsafe.

Is wearing headphones comfortable?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Correct subject-verb agreement and streamline sentences. Use one concise topic sentence about comfort, then a specific supporting detail about fit or weight. Avoid double negatives ("don't... doesn't").

Example: Yes, wearing headphones is comfortable for me. My AirPods are light and fit well, so I rarely experience discomfort during long periods of use.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× I do not feel my Airpods are heavy or it doesn't suit my ears.

I do not feel my AirPods are heavy or that they don't suit my ears.

The sentence mixes clause structures and pronouns incorrectly. 'It doesn't suit my ears' incorrectly uses singular it to refer to plural AirPods and lacks a conjunction for parallel structure. Use 'that' to link the second clause and 'they' to match the plural noun. Also capitalize AirPods as a proper noun.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× Yes, wearing headphones are comfortable for me.

Yes, wearing headphones is comfortable for me.

The subject is the gerund phrase 'wearing headphones', which is singular, so the verb should be 'is' rather than 'are'. Use singular agreement with gerund subjects.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× He used the wireless hot phones Citrus Airports because they are more comfortable when I'm doing workouts or jogging, while headphones tend to get in the way and can be distracting, whereas wireless ones allow me to move more freely.

I use the wireless headphones, AirPods, because they are more comfortable when I'm working out or jogging; wired headphones tend to get in the way and can be distracting, whereas wireless ones allow me to move more freely.

The original uses 'He used' which incorrectly changes person and tense. The speaker should use first person present 'I use' to match context. 'Hot phones Citrus Airports' appears to be a misordering and misspelling of a product name; here 'wireless headphones, AirPods' is a clearer phrasing. Also 'doing workouts' is better as 'working out' and punctuation is improved for clarity.

Verb + -ing form

× I usually use headphones when I'm working because listening to music makes me feel more concentrated on my work usually, especially when I'm staying in the library.

I usually use headphones when I'm working because listening to music helps me concentrate on my work, especially when I'm staying in the library.

'Makes me feel more concentrated' is unnatural; English uses 'concentrate' with 'helps me' or 'makes me concentrate'. Also avoid repeating 'usually'. 'Staying in the library' is acceptable but 'when I'm in the library' is more natural; here 'staying' was retained but the main correction addresses verb usage.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I wouldn't use headphones when I'm taking public transport or walking because heaven will kind of block out some noises which lowers my awareness to the surrounding environments.

I wouldn't use headphones when I'm taking public transport or walking because they can block out some noises, which lowers my awareness of my surroundings.

'Heaven' is a wrong word; it should be 'they' referring to headphones. 'Kind of' is informal and unnecessary. Use 'can' to indicate possibility. 'Lowers my awareness to the surrounding environments' uses wrong preposition and plural noun; 'awareness of my surroundings' is the correct collocation and concise phrasing.

Verb in the present participle form

× Yes, I do use headphones every day in my daily life because I enjoy listening to music, so I usually use headphones to listen music when I'm working.

Yes, I use headphones every day because I enjoy listening to music, so I usually use headphones to listen to music when I'm working.

'I do use' is grammatically correct but redundant; 'I use' is more natural. 'Every day in my daily life' is repetitive; 'every day' suffices. 'To listen music' is missing the preposition 'to' after 'listen'.
