Do you wear a watch?
수험생
No, I'm not the kind of person who likes wearing many accessories, so I rarely wear a watch. I only wear one when I have an exam or another event where I need to keep track of time.

Have you ever got a watch as a gift?
수험생
No, not really. My mom lent me her watch once before an important school exam so I could keep track of the time and it helped me manage the test better. I felt relief knowing exactly how much time I have left.

Why do some people wear expensive watches?
수험생
I think many people wear expensive watches because they enjoy collecting luxury accessories as a hobby for them. Others see high end watches as a status symbol or even an investment, so they are willing to spend a lot of money on a quality timepiece.

Do you think it is important to wear a watch? Why?
수험생
For me it's not that important because nowadays everybody goes out with their SO if we need to check at the time, we just look at our phones. However, some busy people prefer wearing a watch because it allows them to check the time more conveniently while they are working.

점수: 85.0제안: Ý tưởng rõ ràng và có lý; tuy nhiên câu đầu có phần dư từ và cấu trúc lặp ('as a hobby for them'). Nên dùng từ vựng đa dạng hơn (e.g., 'status symbol', 'investment') và thêm một ví dụ ngắn hoặc so sánh để làm cụ thể luận điểm.

점수: 70.0제안: Câu trả lời có ý hợp lý nhưng chứa lỗi ngôn ngữ và một cụm khó hiểu ('goes out with their SO' dường như sai ngữ cảnh). Cần sửa ngữ pháp, dùng liên từ để nối hai ý, và đưa ví dụ cụ thể về hoàn cảnh khi đồng hồ tiện lợi. Hạn chế dài hơn 3-4 câu, giữ tự nhiên.
예시: I don’t think it’s essential for me because most people check the time on their phones nowadays. However, watches can be very practical for busy professionals or athletes who need to glance at the time quickly without interrupting their work.
× No, I'm not the kind of person who likes wearing many accessories, so I rarely wear a watch.
✓ No, I'm not the kind of person who likes to wear many accessories, so I rarely wear a watch.
The verb after 'likes' should use the infinitive 'to wear' (or the gerund 'wearing' is also possible but here the infinitive is more natural). Use 'likes to do' for habitual preferences. Suggestion: use 'likes to wear' or keep 'likes wearing' but be consistent with style. (Loại lỗi: dùng dạng phân từ hiện tại; sửa thành động từ nguyên mẫu 'to wear' để phù hợp với cấu trúc 'likes to do'.
× My mom lent me her watch once before an important school exam so I could keep track of the time and it helped me manage the test better.
✓ My mom lent me her watch once before an important school exam, so I could keep track of the time and it helped me manage the test better.
The original sentence is grammatically acceptable in tense, but it needs a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so' joining two clauses to improve clarity. Tense use (past 'lent' and 'helped') is correct. Suggestion: add a comma before 'so'. (Loại lỗi: thì quá khứ; thực ra động từ đúng nhưng thiếu dấu câu để rõ ý.
× I felt relief knowing exactly how much time I have left.
✓ I felt relieved knowing exactly how much time I had left.
When reporting past feelings, use past tense consistently: 'felt relieved' (adjective) rather than 'felt relief' is more natural, and the time clause should use past tense 'had left' to match 'felt'. Suggestion: use past tense across the sentence for consistency. (Loại lỗi: thì hiện tại dùng không phù hợp; chuyển sang quá khứ để nhất quán).
× I think many people wear expensive watches because they enjoy collecting luxury accessories as a hobby for them.
✓ I think many people wear expensive watches because they enjoy collecting luxury accessories as a hobby.
The phrase 'for them' is redundant after 'a hobby' because 'their' subject is already clear. Remove 'for them'. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary pronouns that repeat the subject. (Loại lỗi: sử dụng đại từ không cần thiết; loại bỏ 'for them').
× Others see high end watches as a status symbol or even an investment, so they are willing to spend a lot of money on a quality timepiece.
✓ Others see high-end watches as status symbols or even investments, so they are willing to spend a lot of money on a quality timepiece.
When used adjectivally, 'high-end' should be hyphenated. Also plural nouns should agree: 'status symbols' and 'investments' when referring to watches in general. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjective and keep number agreement. (Loại lỗi: sử dụng tính từ/ trạng từ không đúng & số lượng; thêm dấu gạch nối và chuyển các danh từ sang số nhiều).
× For me it's not that important because nowadays everybody goes out with their SO if we need to check at the time, we just look at our phones.
✓ For me it's not that important because nowadays everybody goes out with their significant other; if we need to check the time, we just look at our phones.
Abbreviation 'SO' is informal; expand to 'significant other' in a test context. The clause 'if we need to check at the time' is ungrammatical—use 'check the time'. Also the sentence ran together; separate with a semicolon or period. Suggestion: avoid informal abbreviations and correct the verb phrase 'check the time'. (Loại lỗi: sử dụng đại từ/ cụm từ không chính xác và cấu trúc câu; sửa 'SO' and 'check the time').
