Part 1
Examiner
Can you remember the dreams you had?
Candidate
Definitely, I cannot remember the dreams that I had, but if it was remarkable, then it will bring me a memorable impression. For example, when I experience a battle in my dreams or when I have terrible moments, then I will remember it.
Examiner
Do you share your dreams with others? (or are you interested in others' dreams?)
Candidate
Definitely because my friends have no interest in my dream so I don't share it to anybody and usually I usually just talk to them about my practical experiences and real life storage which will be useful in some real life aspects.
Examiner
Do you think dreams have special meanings?
Candidate
For me, I think dreams will have their own special meanings. For example, if I experience or encounter horrible moments or when I make a mistake, then when I wake up I can learn a lot of useful lessons from that. I can change my actions and apologize to everyone.
Examiner
Do you want to make your dreams come true?
Candidate
Definitely, it seems unbelievable but I want some of my dreams come true. For example, I want to have more relationships and good friends like when I dreams. And I also want to be wealthy because in my dreams I experience several things in elite class.
Can you remember the dreams you had?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý chính và ví dụ cụ thể, nhưng câu mở đầu bị mâu thuẫn: “Definitely” không phù hợp với “I cannot remember”. Ngoài ra, cần dùng thì quá khứ khi nói về những giấc mơ đã trải qua, chẳng hạn “I experienced” và “I had”. Cụm “bring a memorable impression” chưa tự nhiên; nên dùng “leave a strong impression on me”. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp rằng bạn thường không nhớ giấc mơ, trừ khi đó là một giấc mơ đặc biệt hoặc đáng sợ.
Example: I usually can’t remember my dreams, but I do remember the particularly vivid ones. For example, if I dream about a battle or have a frightening experience, it often leaves a strong impression on me. I may even remember some details the next morning.
Do you share your dreams with others? (or are you interested in others' dreams?)
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời chưa rõ ràng vì bắt đầu bằng “Definitely” nhưng sau đó lại nói bạn không chia sẻ giấc mơ. Bạn cũng lặp từ “usually”, dùng sai “share it to anybody” (nên là “share them with anyone”) và “real life storage” (nên là “real-life stories”). Hãy nêu quan điểm ngay từ đầu, sau đó giải thích rằng bạn thích chia sẻ những trải nghiệm thực tế hơn vì chúng hữu ích hoặc dễ thảo luận hơn. Câu trả lời nên được chia thành 2–3 câu rõ ràng và sử dụng từ nối như “instead” hoặc “because”.
Example: I don’t usually share my dreams with other people because my friends aren’t particularly interested in them. Instead, I prefer talking about my real-life experiences and practical problems. I find these topics more useful and easier for us to discuss.
Do you think dreams have special meanings?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có cấu trúc khá tốt: nêu ý kiến, đưa ví dụ và nói về kết quả. Tuy nhiên, “For me, I think” bị dư thừa, và khi nói về quan điểm chung nên dùng “I think dreams can have special meanings” thay vì “will have”. Cụm “experience or encounter horrible moments” lặp ý; chỉ cần dùng “have a frightening dream”. Phần “apologize to everyone” hơi tuyệt đối và chưa liên kết rõ với việc học bài học từ giấc mơ, vì vậy nên giải thích cụ thể hơn.
Example: Yes, I think some dreams can have special meanings, although not all of them do. For instance, if I dream about making a serious mistake, I may wake up feeling more aware of my behavior. As a result, I might change my actions or apologize to someone I have upset.
Do you want to make your dreams come true?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Bạn trả lời đúng trọng tâm và đưa ra hai mong muốn cụ thể, nhưng cần sửa nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt. “I want some of my dreams come true” nên là “I want some of my dreams to come true”; “like when I dreams” nên là “like the ones I have in my dreams”; và “in elite class” chưa tự nhiên, có thể thay bằng “a luxurious lifestyle”. Không nên bắt đầu câu mới bằng “And” trong câu trả lời ngắn; hãy dùng “In addition” hoặc nối hai ý bằng “also”. Bạn nên giải thích ngắn gọn vì sao các mục tiêu đó quan trọng với mình.
Example: Yes, I’d definitely like some of my dreams to come true. I’d love to build meaningful relationships and make more close friends, like the happy people I sometimes see in my dreams. In addition, I hope to become financially successful so that I can enjoy a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle.
× Definitely, I cannot remember the dreams that I had, but if it was remarkable, then it will bring me a memorable impression.
✓ Definitely, I cannot remember all the dreams I have had, but if a dream is remarkable, it will leave a memorable impression on me.
The sentence describes a general situation, so use the present tense after if: is, not was. The phrase leave a memorable impression is also the natural collocation in English.
× For example, when I experience a battle in my dreams or when I have terrible moments, then I will remember it.
✓ For example, when I experience a battle in my dreams or have terrible moments, I will remember them.
The pronoun it refers to singular information, but battles and moments are plural. Use them to refer to plural nouns. The repeated when is unnecessary in the second part of the sentence.
× Definitely because my friends have no interest in my dream so I don't share it to anybody and usually I usually just talk to them about my practical experiences and real life storage which will be useful in some real life aspects.
✓ Definitely, because my friends have no interest in my dreams, I do not share them with anybody. I usually talk to them about my practical experiences and real-life stories, which are useful in real-life situations.
Because and so should not be used together to connect the same cause-and-effect relationship. Use because to introduce the reason and separate the sentence clearly. Also, avoid repeating usually.
× Definitely because my friends have no interest in my dream so I don't share it to anybody and usually I usually just talk to them about my practical experiences and real life storage which will be useful in some real life aspects.
✓ Definitely, because my friends have no interest in my dreams, I do not share them with anybody. I usually talk to them about my practical experiences and real-life stories, which are useful in real-life situations.
The speaker is referring to dreams in general, so use the plural noun dreams. The pronoun referring to dreams must also be plural: them. Similarly, stories should be plural because the speaker discusses several experiences.
× Definitely because my friends have no interest in my dream so I don't share it to anybody and usually I usually just talk to them about my practical experiences and real life storage which will be useful in some real life aspects.
✓ Definitely, because my friends have no interest in my dreams, I do not share them with anybody. I usually talk to them about my practical experiences and real-life stories, which are useful in real-life situations.
The verb share takes the preposition with when identifying the person who receives the information: share something with somebody, not share something to somebody.
× For me, I think dreams will have their own special meanings.
✓ For me, I think dreams have their own special meanings.
The sentence expresses a general opinion about dreams, not a future prediction. Use the present tense have instead of the future form will have.
× For example, if I experience or encounter horrible moments or when I make a mistake, then when I wake up I can learn a lot of useful lessons from that.
✓ For example, if I experience or encounter horrible moments or make a mistake, I can learn many useful lessons from these experiences when I wake up.
The original sentence combines if and when clauses in an unbalanced structure. Keep the conditional structure parallel by using if before the alternatives and removing the unnecessary second when. These experiences is clearer than that because it refers to plural experiences.
× Definitely, it seems unbelievable but I want some of my dreams come true.
✓ Definitely, it seems unbelievable, but I want some of my dreams to come true.
After want, use the structure want + object + to-infinitive. Therefore, want some of my dreams come true must be changed to want some of my dreams to come true.
× For example, I want to have more relationships and good friends like when I dreams.
✓ For example, I want to have more relationships and good friends, as I do in my dreams.
After the subject I, use the base form dream, not the third-person singular form dreams. The revised phrase as I do in my dreams is also grammatically complete and clearly expresses the intended comparison.
