Examiner
Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Candidate
Learning a new language can be difficult, but it's definitely achievable if you stay motivated and practice every day. You will gradually become familiar with the vocabulary and improve your speaking and listening skills. I recommend you to upload download any app that can help you boost your skills.
Examiner
Will you learn other languages in the future?
Candidate
Yes, I am definitely want to learn other languages in the future. Actually right now I am learning to speak and write Korean language or the hand goal. I'm already in a month of learning the language and I know already how to write and know some vocabulary words.
Examiner
Why do you learn English?
Candidate
I learned how to speak and write English because they taught us this subject in school, from the basic grammar, the vocabulary and etcetera. But when you grow up, you will understand that it's the universal language and it's important for communication, especially for other countries.
What languages can you speak?
Score: 73.0Suggestion: Make your answer more concise and correct minor grammar and vocabulary errors. Start with a clear topic sentence (languages you speak), then briefly list them. Use correct names (Ilongo → Ilonggo, Korean/Hangul) and avoid redundancies like "different dialect of the Philippines"; say "several regional languages/dialects."
Example: I speak Filipino and several regional languages, such as Bisaya and Ilonggo. I also speak English fluently and I know a little Korean, including Hangul (the Korean alphabet).
Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Keep it natural and avoid awkward phrasing. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then give specific reasons and one clear recommendation. Fix phrases like "upload download any app" to "use a language-learning app" and avoid unnecessary repetition.
Example: Learning a new language can be challenging at first, but it's achievable with regular practice and motivation. For example, practicing daily helps expand vocabulary and improves listening and speaking. I suggest using a language-learning app, such as Duolingo or Memrise, to practice consistently and track your progress.
Will you learn other languages in the future?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Use correct grammar and clear vocabulary. Start with a direct statement about your plans, then give concise supporting details. Correct phrases like "I am definitely want" → "I definitely want to", and "hand goal" → "Hangul". Keep to two or three sentences only.
Example: Yes, I definitely want to learn more languages in the future. At the moment I'm learning Korean — I've studied Hangul and basic vocabulary for about a month, and I can already read simple words and write some sentences.
Why do you learn English?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar and awkward phrasing. Use one topic sentence explaining why you learn English, then add a specific reason. Replace vague phrases like "and etcetera" with concrete examples (work, travel, study).
Example: I learned English at school, where we studied grammar and vocabulary. I also continue to learn it because English is a global language that helps with international communication, travel, and job opportunities.
× I'm from the Philippines so I can speak Filipino and different dialect of the Philippines like Bisaya and Ilongo.
✓ I'm from the Philippines so I can speak Filipino and different dialects of the Philippines like Bisaya and Ilongo.
The noun 'dialect' should be plural because 'different' implies more than one variety. Use 'dialects' to match plurality. Suggestion: use plural forms when referring to multiple items (different dialects).
× For international language I can speak English and a little bit of Korea, Han Gul.
✓ For international languages I can speak English and a little bit of Korean, Hangul.
'International language' should be plural if listing more than one; 'Korea' is the country name, but the language adjective is 'Korean'. 'Hangul' is the correct romanization for the Korean writing system. Suggestion: use correct adjective forms for languages and correct spelling for scripts.
× Learning a new language can be difficult, but it's definitely achievable if you stay motivated and practice every day.
✓ Learning a new language can be difficult, but it's definitely achievable if you stay motivated and practice every day.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. (No action required because it does not meet the listed error types.)
× You will gradually become familiar with the vocabulary and improve your speaking and listening skills.
✓ You will gradually become familiar with vocabulary and improve your speaking and listening skills.
'The vocabulary' is acceptable but unnecessary; omitting 'the' is more natural when speaking generally about vocabulary. Suggestion: omit definite article when referring to general concepts.
× I recommend you to upload download any app that can help you boost your skills.
✓ I recommend that you download any app that can help you boost your skills.
After 'recommend' we use 'recommend that someone do something' or 'recommend doing something', not 'recommend you to'. Also 'upload download' appears to be two verbs mistakenly combined; 'download' is appropriate here. Suggestion: use 'recommend that you download' or 'I recommend downloading'. (Matches Grammar Problem Type 26: sentence structure and 4: modal/verb usage.)
× Yes, I am definitely want to learn other languages in the future.
✓ Yes, I definitely want to learn other languages in the future.
The verb phrase 'am want' is incorrect. Use either 'I am definitely going to learn' or 'I definitely want to learn'. Here remove 'am' to form correct present simple 'I want'. Suggestion: choose correct auxiliary or simple present form.
× Actually right now I am learning to speak and write Korean language or the hand goal.
✓ Actually, right now I am learning to speak and write the Korean language or Hangul.
'Korean language' should include the article 'the' when specified; 'hand goal' is a mishearing or misspelling of 'Hangul'. Suggestion: use correct term 'Hangul' for the Korean script and include commas for clarity.
× I'm already in a month of learning the language and I know already how to write and know some vocabulary words.
✓ I've already been learning the language for a month, and I already know how to write and know some vocabulary words.
Use present perfect continuous 'have been learning' or present perfect 'have been learning for a month' to express an action that started in the past and continues now. Also move 'already' to natural positions. Suggestion: use 'I've been learning for a month' or 'I'm in my first month of learning'. (Matches Grammar Problem Type 6: present tense issue.)
× I learned how to speak and write English because they taught us this subject in school, from the basic grammar, the vocabulary and etcetera.
✓ I learned how to speak and write English because they taught us this subject in school, from basic grammar and vocabulary, etcetera.
The sentence is mostly correct but 'the basic grammar, the vocabulary' is better without repeated 'the'. Also 'etcetera' should follow a comma and not repeat 'the'. Suggestion: streamline the list: 'basic grammar and vocabulary, etc.' (This addresses article usage and parallelism.)
× But when you grow up, you will understand that it's the universal language and it's important for communication, especially for other countries.
✓ But when you grow up, you will understand that it's a universal language and it's important for communication, especially with people from other countries.
'The universal language' implies a single known language; 'a universal language' is more appropriate. Also 'important for communication, especially for other countries' is unclear; use 'with people from other countries' to specify who communication is with. Suggestion: use 'a' for general classification and clarify the object of communication.
