Score: 64.0Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Fix verb forms and articles (e.g., “a place,” “I usually call it”), and avoid repeating the same idea.
Example: I usually relax in my room. For example, I lock the door so I have privacy, and I can read or listen to music without interruptions, which helps me feel calm.
Who do you usually relax with?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first and avoid hesitations. Use simpler, correct structures: say you prefer to relax alone and give one clear reason with a linking word (because/so). Replace awkward phrasing like “try to being with myself” with “prefer to be alone.”
Example: I usually relax alone because I find it easier to focus on my thoughts. For instance, by spending time by myself I can reflect on problems and plan solutions, so I feel calmer.
Do you think listening to music is relaxing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid grammar errors. Use correct verb forms and concise supporting detail: say yes/no, then explain how and give a specific example. Remove redundant phrases like “I have been listening to music and whenever I get nervous.”
Example: Yes, I find listening to music very relaxing because it lowers my stress. For example, when I feel nervous I play calm instrumental tracks, which slows my breathing and helps me concentrate.
What do you do to relax?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Structure the answer with a clear topic sentence and two specific steps using linking words (first/then/because). Correct phrasing (“I saw it somewhere” is weak) — instead, say you read or learned that deep breathing helps and give a brief result.
Example: To relax, I usually drink a glass of water and then do deep-breathing exercises. First, drinking water refreshes me, and then taking slow, deep breaths helps lower my heart rate and makes me feel calmer.
× Well, there is a one place that I usually to call there in order to relax and it's my room.
✓ Well, there is a place that I usually call my place to relax, and it's my room.
Error type: 'There be issue'. The phrase 'there is a one place' is unidiomatic; we use 'there is a place' or 'a certain place'. Also 'usually to call there' is incorrect structure; 'call my place' or 'go to' is appropriate. Suggest using 'there is a place that I usually call my place to relax' or 'there is a place I usually go to relax'. Suggestion: use 'there is a place' and 'I usually go to/ call my place to relax' to form a natural sentence.
× Yes, when I am in my room I feel more relaxed and more comfortable because I locked the door and no one can enter this room.
✓ Yes, when I am in my room I feel more relaxed and more comfortable because I lock the door and no one can enter the room.
Error type: 'Verb + -ing form' (the problem is actually wrong verb tense/form). 'Locked the door' implies a past action; the speaker describes a habitual present situation, so use present simple 'lock'. Also 'this room' is less natural than 'the room'. Suggest using present simple for habitual actions: 'I lock the door'.
× So that's why I feel more relaxed.
✓ So that's why I feel more relaxed.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable; no change needed. The pronoun usage 'that's why' correctly refers to the previous statement. No correction required.
× Uh, well, I personally believe that, uh, I can't relax with someone because, uh, each person has their individual problems and that's why I try to being, uh, with myself.
✓ Uh, well, I personally believe that I can't relax with someone because each person has their own problems, and that's why I try to be by myself.
Error type: 'Incorrect use of pronouns' and verb form. 'Their individual problems' is better as 'their own problems' for clarity. 'Try to being with myself' is ungrammatical; use the infinitive 'try to be' and preposition 'by myself' or 'on my own'. Suggest: 'each person has their own problems' and 'I try to be by myself' for natural English.
× So in this way, I can solve problems with myself and in that's why I can feel more relaxed.
✓ In this way, I can solve my problems myself, and that's why I feel more relaxed.
Error type: 'Sentence structure errors'. 'Solve problems with myself' is awkward; use 'solve my problems myself'. Remove redundant 'in' before 'that's why' and use present simple 'feel' for habitual result. Suggest concise restructuring: 'I can solve my problems myself, and that's why I feel more relaxed.'
× Well, I believe that for listening to music are really helpful to people in order to relax.
✓ Well, I believe that listening to music is really helpful for people to relax.
Error type: 'Incorrect use of quantifiers' and subject-verb agreement. 'For listening to music are really helpful' has wrong word order and agreement; 'listening to music' (a gerund) is singular and takes 'is'. Use 'helpful for people to relax' for correct collocation. Suggest: 'listening to music is really helpful for people to relax.'
× And I have been listening to music and whenever I get nervous.
✓ And I listen to music whenever I get nervous.
Error type: 'Present tense issue'. The original mixes present perfect progressive 'have been listening' with an incomplete clause 'and whenever I get nervous.' For habitual behavior, use present simple: 'I listen to music whenever I get nervous.' Suggest using present simple for repeated actions.
× So I tried this a lot of and I see I'm seeing its consequences and it's very positively impact me.
✓ So I have tried this a lot and I see the effects; it has a very positive impact on me.
Error type: 'Sentence structure errors'. 'I tried this a lot of and' is ungrammatical; use 'I have tried this a lot'. 'I'm seeing its consequences' is awkward; use 'I see the effects' or 'I've seen the results'. 'It's very positively impact me' has wrong form; use 'it has a very positive impact on me.' Suggest: 'I have tried this a lot, and I see the effects; it has a very positive impact on me.'
× Well, firstly I drink a glass of water and I think it's best way to relax.
✓ Well, first I drink a glass of water and I think it's the best way to relax.
Error type: 'Present tense issue' and article use. 'Firstly' is acceptable but 'first' is more natural in spoken English. Add the definite article 'the' before 'best way'. For habitual actions present simple 'I drink' is fine. Suggest: 'First I drink a glass of water, and I think it's the best way to relax.'
× And after that I take a deep breath and I saw it somewhere that, uh, deep breath can affect, uh, in order to feel more relaxed and satisfied.
✓ After that I take a deep breath, and I saw somewhere that deep breathing can help me feel more relaxed and satisfied.
Error type: 'Past tense issue'. 'I saw it somewhere' could be 'I saw somewhere' but mixing present habit 'I take' with past 'I saw' is acceptable if referring to a past observation; better is 'I learned' or keep past simple 'I saw somewhere'. Also 'deep breath can affect' is incorrect collocation; use 'deep breathing can help me feel'. Suggest: 'After that I take a deep breath, and I saw somewhere that deep breathing can help me feel more relaxed and satisfied.'
× So I think it's the two best way in order to relax.
✓ So I think these are the two best ways to relax.
Error type: 'Incorrect use of quantifiers'. Use plural 'ways' to match 'two' and 'these are' rather than 'it's the two'. Also 'in order to' is wordy; 'to relax' is sufficient. Suggest: 'These are the two best ways to relax.'
