Part 1

Examiner

Do you often feel tired?

Candidate

Yes, I occasionally feel tired. I work in a hospital so which means I need to spend many of time to cope with the patients so my brains always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work. So when I get home I usually take a queen nap before doing anything.

Examiner

When would you feel tired?

Candidate

I usually feel tired at night after focusing for all hours. My brain often feel drained and my eyes were so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just take a queen nap.

Examiner

What do you do when you feel tired?

Candidate

Well, I usually take a short nap on the sova or I bend my head over the decks in front of the computer because this position helps me nap for about ten minutes without over sleeping.

Examiner

When you feel tired, do you still go out with your friends?

Candidate

Definitely not. When I completely exhausted, my priority is to rest and recharge, so I usually risk schedule with my plans with my friends. Socializing becomes much more difficult for me when I'm exhausted, because I don't have much energy to be lively.

Part 1

Do you often feel tired?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give one clear reason and a natural example of how you recover. Correct the phrasing “so which means” to “which means” or “so,” and use “a lot of time” instead of “many of time.” Say “my mind feels drained” rather than “my brains,” and use “power nap” instead of “queen nap.”

Example: Yes, I occasionally feel tired. I work in a hospital, so I spend a lot of time caring for patients, which can leave me mentally drained. When I get home, I usually take a short power nap before doing anything else.

When would you feel tired?

Score: 43.0

Suggestion: Use a clear time reference and explain what makes you tired. Correct subject–verb agreement (“my brain feels”) and keep the tense consistent (“my eyes feel,” not “were”). Replace unclear expressions such as “focusing for all hours,” “screening headphones,” and “queen nap” with natural phrases like “concentrating all day,” “listening to music,” and “taking a power nap.”

Example: I usually feel tired in the evening after concentrating at work all day. My mind feels drained, and my eyes feel strained from looking at screens. I just want to relax on the sofa, watch TV, or listen to some music.

What do you do when you feel tired?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Your response gives a specific detail, but some word choices make it difficult to understand. Use “sofa” instead of “sova,” and describe the second option more naturally, such as resting your head on the desk. “Without oversleeping” is one word, and “this way” sounds more natural than “this position” here.

Example: When I feel tired, I usually take a short nap on the sofa. If I’m still at my computer, I sometimes rest my head on the desk for about ten minutes. That helps me feel refreshed without oversleeping.

When you feel tired, do you still go out with your friends?

Score: 56.0

Suggestion: You answer the question clearly and give a relevant reason. Correct “When I completely exhausted” to “When I’m completely exhausted,” and replace “risk schedule with my plans” with “reschedule my plans.” Avoid repeating “exhausted” by varying the wording or shortening the final sentence.

Example: Usually, I don’t go out when I’m really tired. I prefer to rest and recharge, so I might reschedule my plans with friends. It’s harder to enjoy socializing when I don’t have enough energy.

Grammar

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I work in a hospital so which means I need to spend many of time to cope with the patients so my brains always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work.

✓ I work in a hospital, which means I need to spend a lot of time coping with patients, so my brains always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work.

Many is used with countable plural nouns, but time is uncountable. Use a lot of time or much time. The structure spend time is normally followed by a verb ending in -ing, so coping is more suitable than to cope here.

Incorrect conjunction use

× I work in a hospital so which means I need to spend many of time to cope with the patients so my brains always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work.

✓ I work in a hospital, which means I need to spend many of time to cope with the patients, so my brains always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work.

Do not use so and which together to connect these clauses. Use which means to explain the result, or use so means without which.

Singular and plural issue

× I work in a hospital so which means I need to spend many of time to cope with the patients so my brains always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work.

✓ I work in a hospital so which means I need to spend many of time to cope with the patients so my brain always feel drained and really exhausted after a long day of hard work.

In this context, brain refers to the single organ, so use the singular noun brain rather than brains.

Third person singular issue

× My brain often feel drained and my eyes were so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just take a queen nap.

✓ My brain often feels drained and my eyes were so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just take a queen nap.

The subject my brain is third-person singular, so the present-tense verb needs the -s ending: feels.

Present tense issue

× My brain often feel drained and my eyes were so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just take a queen nap.

✓ My brain often feel drained and my eyes are so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just take a queen nap.

The speaker describes a recurring situation in the present, so are is consistent with the present-tense verbs feel and want. Were is past tense.

Verb + -ing form

× My brain often feel drained and my eyes were so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just take a queen nap.

✓ My brain often feel drained and my eyes were so swollen, so I feel exhausted and just want to relax on the sofa, watching TV's or screening headphones or just taking a queen nap.

The activities after watching are presented as a parallel list. Use the -ing form taking to match watching and screening.

Sentence without a verb

× When I completely exhausted, my priority is to rest and recharge, so I usually risk schedule with my plans with my friends.

✓ When I am completely exhausted, my priority is to rest and recharge, so I usually risk schedule with my plans with my friends.

The clause needs a linking verb between the subject I and the adjective exhausted. Add am to form the present-tense verb phrase am exhausted.

Sentence structure errors

× When I completely exhausted, my priority is to rest and recharge, so I usually risk schedule with my plans with my friends.

✓ When I am completely exhausted, my priority is to rest and recharge, so I usually cancel my plans with my friends.

The phrase risk schedule with my plans does not form a grammatical verb phrase. In this context, cancel my plans clearly expresses that the speaker will not go out. Use a verb directly with its object, as in cancel my plans.
