Part 1

Have you made any crafts with paper?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Be more direct and concise: give a clear topic sentence about what kinds of paper crafts you make, then add one or two specific supporting details linked with connectors. Avoid vague phrases like "outlines of the knowledge."

Example: Yes. I often make paper notes and small origami models. For example, I fold quick bookmarks when I study and write mind‑map notes on paper because they help me remember concepts more easily.

Do you still write physical letters?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, then give a brief reason and a specific example. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Example: No, I rarely write physical letters now because I usually communicate by WeChat or email. For example, I send messages and files to friends online instead of writing letters.

Do people still keep handwritten letters today?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: Clarify your idea and avoid confusing words. Give a clear reason and an example: use linking words (because, so) and avoid unrelated words like "sandwiches." Keep it to one or two supporting sentences.

Example: Not many people keep handwritten letters today because digital communication is faster and more convenient. For instance, people prefer to text or email for quick updates instead of writing letters.

Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Good structure but correct tense and improve linking: state frequency, then give specific situations as supporting details using connectors like "when" or "if." Keep sentences concise.

Example: Not usually. I only take paper and a pen when I go to the library to study, because I need to take notes, but I don't bring them when I go out to eat since they're unnecessary.

What did you like to do with paper as a child?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear past tense topic sentence and give a specific example. Use correct grammar (past tense, gerunds) and a linking word for reason.

Example: As a child I liked drawing cartoon characters on paper. For example, I used to copy characters from comics because it was fun and made me feel happy.

Grammar

Verb in the -ing form

× I think it's quite convenient and useful.

✓ I think it's quite convenient and useful.

No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. Keep as is.

Verb in the -ing form

× It can help me to find the solutions quickly and help me have the outlines of the knowledge.

✓ It can help me find solutions quickly and help me form outlines of the material.

Error type 8: unnecessary infinitival to after 'help' and awkward noun phrases. In English, 'help' is followed by the bare infinitive (help me find). 'The solutions' and 'the knowledge' are too specific; use plural 'solutions' and 'material' or 'knowledge' without 'the'. 'Have the outlines' is unnatural; use 'form outlines'. Suggestion: use 'help me find solutions' and 'help me form outlines of the material'.

Modal verb usage

× No, actually I often use WeChat or emails for the connecting and physical letters just appeared when I was a child in our country.

✓ No, actually I often use WeChat or email to communicate, and physical letters only appeared when I was a child in our country.

Error type 4: incorrect word choices and structure around modality/usage. 'Emails' can be singular 'email' or plural 'emails'; 'for the connecting' is incorrect preposition and noun choice; use 'to communicate'. 'Just appeared' is awkward; use 'only appeared' or 'were common only' and match tense. Also ensure parallel structure with 'and'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× No, people rarely write letters to each other today because it is complex and not as fast as other ways like sandwiches to people so it.

✓ No, people rarely write letters to each other today because it is more complicated and not as fast as other methods such as messaging apps.

Error type 14: wrong word 'sandwiches' used instead of 'messages' and awkward phrasing 'to people so it'. Replace with 'messaging apps' or 'other methods'. Also 'complex' should be 'more complicated' for comparison. Provide clear alternative phrasing.

Verb tense issue

× Not often. If I went to the library for study I will carry them and if I went out just for taking a meal, I won't take them with me because it is not necessary.

✓ Not often. If I go to the library to study I will carry them, but if I go out just to have a meal, I won't take them with me because it is not necessary.

Error type 6/7: inconsistent tense usage. The conditional mixes past 'went' with future 'will'. Use present simple in the 'if' clause for real present/future conditionals: 'If I go... I will...'. Also 'for study' is better as 'to study' and 'just for taking a meal' should be 'just to have a meal'. Maintain consistent verb forms.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I think the most thing attract me is to drawing some cartoon characters on the paper because it is interesting and happy for a child.

✓ I think the thing that attracted me most was drawing cartoon characters on paper because it was fun and enjoyable for a child.

Error type 13: Several issues: word order 'the most thing attract me' is incorrect; use 'the thing that attracted me most'. 'To drawing' mixes infinitive and gerund; use gerund 'drawing'. 'On the paper' -> 'on paper'. 'Interesting and happy' is awkward; use 'fun and enjoyable'. Also tense: talking about childhood uses past tense 'attracted' and 'was'.
