Of course he has. I feel tired every day, especially when I finished my work. I feel exhausted. So when I go back home I just want to stay in the bed and do nothing and just sleep and finish the day.

Examiner

When would you feel tired?

Candidate

Umm, like I mentioned before, I feel tired almost every day, uh, especially when I finished the lot of work. It's umm, like I finished some big challenge in, in my, uh, work. I will feel very tired and just want to.

Examiner

What do you do when you feel tired?

Candidate

First, I would like to stay in my bed and watch some drama shows to help me unwind. The second, sometimes I would have a three days off and to get away from it all from time to time to see some beautiful views.

Part 1

Do you often feel tired?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Be natural, direct and accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., "Yes, I often feel tired."), avoid pronoun errors ("he" is wrong), reduce repetition ("I feel tired" / "I feel exhausted" both okay but avoid back-to-back redundancy), and keep it within 3–4 concise sentences. Add one specific detail about why you feel tired using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "especially").

Example: Yes, I often feel tired, especially after a long day at work because I usually have back-to-back meetings. As a result, when I get home I prefer to rest in bed and relax for a while before going to sleep.

When would you feel tired?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear time or situation (topic sentence), remove hesitations and filler words, and complete the sentence. Use linking words such as "especially" or "after" to connect the situation and the result. Give one specific example of a task that drains you to make the answer more concrete.

Example: I usually feel most tired after completing intense tasks at work, especially when I finish a big project or work late into the evening. For example, after preparing a long presentation and answering many questions, I feel exhausted and need to rest.

What do you do when you feel tired?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Organize your response with a clear structure: start with a topic sentence stating what you usually do, then use linking words (first, secondly) and provide specific, concise details. Avoid awkward grammar ("have a three days off" -> "take three days off") and unnecessary words. Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum and give a concrete example of a show or a place you visit.

Example: When I feel tired, I usually rest in bed and watch drama series to unwind; for example, I like watching slice-of-life dramas on streaming platforms. Sometimes I also take a short break and take three days off to visit a nearby beach or mountain to recharge.

Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Of course he has.

✓ Of course I do.

The student used the wrong pronoun 'he' and incorrect auxiliary 'has' for the question 'Do you often feel tired?'. Use 'I' because the speaker answers for themselves, and use 'do' for present simple affirmation. Say 'Of course I do.' to match subject and auxiliary. Suggestion: Pay attention to the subject (I vs he) and use 'do' for short answers in present simple.

Past tense issue

× I feel tired every day, especially when I finished my work.

✓ I feel tired every day, especially when I finish my work.

The time expression 'every day' and 'when' require present simple (habitual action). Using past 'finished' is inconsistent. Use present simple 'finish' to show a regular event. Suggestion: For habitual actions use present simple (I finish, I go, etc.).

Incorrect use of articles

× So when I go back home I just want to stay in the bed and do nothing and just sleep and finish the day.

✓ So when I go back home I just want to stay in bed and do nothing, just sleep and end the day.

English typically omits the article before 'bed' when describing the idiom 'stay in bed'. Also 'finish the day' is awkward; 'end the day' is more natural. Removed redundant 'just' and added comma for clarity. Suggestion: Use established idioms (in bed) and prefer concise phrasing.

Past tense issue

× especially when I finished the lot of work.

✓ especially when I finish a lot of work.

This sentence describes a habitual situation, so present simple 'finish' is required. 'The lot of work' is incorrect; use 'a lot of work' to mean many tasks. Suggestion: Use 'a lot of' for noncount/mass expressions and present simple for habitual actions.

Sentence structure errors

× It's umm, like I finished some big challenge in, in my, uh, work. I will feel very tired and just want to.

✓ It's like I finish some big challenges at work. I feel very tired and just want to rest.

Mixes tenses and has incomplete clause 'just want to.' For habitual situations use present simple 'finish' and 'feel'. Use 'at work' for correct preposition and complete the idea with 'rest.' Remove filler words for clarity. Suggestion: Complete clauses (just want to rest) and keep consistent tense.

Modal verb usage

× First, I would like to stay in my bed and watch some drama shows to help me unwind.

✓ First, I like to stay in bed and watch drama shows to help me unwind.

'Would like' implies a conditional desire; for describing habitual actions use 'I like to' or 'I usually stay in bed.' Also use 'in bed' not 'in my bed' in common idiomatic speech. Suggestion: Use 'I like to' or 'I usually' for routines; reserve 'would like' for polite requests.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× The second, sometimes I would have a three days off and to get away from it all from time to time to see some beautiful views.

✓ Second, sometimes I take three days off to get away from it all and see some beautiful views.

'Have a three days off' is ungrammatical. Use 'take three days off' or 'have three days off' (without 'a'). Also remove redundant 'from time to time' when 'sometimes' is used and correct infinitive placement: 'to get away' follows purpose. Suggestion: Use 'take three days off' or 'have three days off' and place purpose infinitives correctly.
