Have you made any crafts with paper?
Candidato
Yes, I made lots of products with paper while I was a kid. I made paper airplanes, paper cars, paper bowls, and even paper butterflies and other insects when I was a kid.
Examinador
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
Candidato
Actually, my favorite thing to do with paper was not making graphs, but to write on them. I love to write Mandarin, Chinese characters, alizabeth English letters on papers. and sometimes even Thai and Arabics and some miscellaneous foreign languages as well.
Examinador
Do you still write physical letters?
Candidato
I don't write physical letters anymore, but however, I sometimes love to leave handwriting notes to my mother while she was a slave. I hope that she would appreciate my handwriting. That's the way then why Hans writes him nose to her.
Examinador
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
Candidato
I think that some of them still do because people see handwriting letters as art rather than the practical and way of communicating with other people.
Examinador
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
Candidato
Yes, I still carry papers and pants with me when I go out. I'm a big fan of laminate pens, not books with white lines. I love to practice my handwriting on the notebook with pens.
Have you made any crafts with paper?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Your answer is direct and includes specific examples, which is effective. However, “products” is less natural than “paper crafts,” and “when I was a kid” is repeated. Use a more concise structure and avoid repeating the same time expression.
Exemplo: Yes, I made lots of paper crafts when I was a child. I used to make paper airplanes, cars, bowls, and even butterflies. It was a fun way to be creative and pass the time.
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Your main idea is clear, but there are several vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation-related problems. “Making graphs” may be the wrong expression in this context; “making crafts” would be more appropriate. Say “write Chinese characters and the English alphabet on paper,” not “write ... on papers,” and avoid the unclear phrase “miscellaneous foreign languages.” Keep the answer focused and give one clear reason or example.
Exemplo: As a child, I mainly enjoyed writing on paper rather than making crafts. I practiced writing Chinese characters and the English alphabet, and sometimes I even copied words from other languages. I found it fascinating to see how different writing systems looked.
Do you still write physical letters?
Pontuação: 35.0Sugestão: The answer begins clearly, but the second half contains serious grammatical and word-choice problems that make the meaning difficult to understand. Do not use both “but” and “however” together. Use the present tense for a current habit, and replace the unclear phrases with a simple explanation of when and why you leave notes.
Exemplo: I don’t write physical letters anymore, but I sometimes leave handwritten notes for my mother. For example, I might write her a short message before I go to work. I do this because handwritten notes feel more personal than text messages.
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: You give a relevant opinion and a reason, but the sentence has grammatical errors. Say “handwritten letters” rather than “handwriting letters,” and “a practical way of communicating” rather than “the practical and way.” You could also add a specific example, such as letters kept as family memories or sentimental gifts.
Exemplo: Yes, I think some people still keep handwritten letters because they consider them meaningful keepsakes. Although digital messages are more practical, a handwritten letter can feel more personal and artistic. People may keep letters from family members or important events.
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
Pontuação: 52.0Sugestão: Your answer is relevant, but several words appear to be incorrect or unclear: use “paper and pens,” not “papers and pants,” and “lined notebooks,” not “books with white lines.” “Laminate pens” is not a natural expression; use the correct type of pen, such as “fountain pens,” if that is what you mean. Organize the answer with a direct reason and one supporting detail.
Exemplo: Yes, I usually carry a small notebook and a couple of pens with me. I enjoy practicing my handwriting whenever I have a few free minutes. I especially like using fountain pens because they make writing feel more enjoyable.
× Actually, my favorite thing to do with paper was not making graphs, but to write on them.
✓ Actually, my favorite thing to do with paper was not making graphs, but writing on it.
The two activities after 'was not ... but ...' should use parallel grammatical forms. Because 'making' is a gerund, 'writing' should be used instead of 'to write'. 'Paper' is an uncountable noun here, so the pronoun 'it' is more appropriate than 'them'.
× I love to write Mandarin, Chinese characters, alizabeth English letters on papers, and sometimes even Thai and Arabics and some miscellaneous foreign languages as well.
✓ I loved writing Mandarin Chinese characters and English letters on paper, and sometimes even writing in Thai, Arabic, and some other foreign languages as well.
The question refers to what the student liked doing as a child, so the past tense 'loved' is more suitable than 'love'. The past form keeps the answer consistent with the past time reference.
× I love to write Mandarin, Chinese characters, alizabeth English letters on papers, and sometimes even Thai and Arabics and some miscellaneous foreign languages as well.
✓ I loved writing Mandarin Chinese characters and English letters on paper, and sometimes even writing in Thai, Arabic, and some other foreign languages as well.
After 'loved', the gerund form 'writing' is natural when describing an activity that the speaker enjoyed. Using the same form again after 'sometimes' also makes the sentence parallel and clearer.
× I love to write Mandarin, Chinese characters, alizabeth English letters on papers, and sometimes even Thai and Arabics and some miscellaneous foreign languages as well.
✓ I loved writing Mandarin Chinese characters and English letters on paper, and sometimes even writing in Thai, Arabic, and some other foreign languages as well.
Use 'write in' before the name of a language, as in 'write in Thai'. Also, 'on paper' is the natural expression when referring to paper as a material.
× I don't write physical letters anymore, but however, I sometimes love to leave handwriting notes to my mother while she was a slave.
✓ I don't write physical letters anymore; however, I sometimes still leave handwritten notes for my mother.
'But' and 'however' should not normally be used together because they both express contrast. Use one of them, or use a semicolon before 'however'. The sentence has also been made more natural by using 'still' to show a continuing habit.
× I don't write physical letters anymore, but however, I sometimes love to leave handwriting notes to my mother while she was a slave.
✓ I don't write physical letters anymore; however, I sometimes still leave handwritten notes for my mother.
'Handwriting' is a noun or a verb, but it cannot correctly modify 'notes' in this form. The adjective 'handwritten' is required to describe notes written by hand.
× That's the way then why Hans writes him nose to her.
✓ That is how Hans writes his notes to her.
The possessive pronoun 'his' is needed before the noun 'notes'. The object pronoun 'him' cannot show that the notes belong to or are written by Hans.
× That's the way then why Hans writes him nose to her.
✓ That is how Hans writes his notes to her.
The original sentence does not form a clear grammatical structure. 'That is how' is a natural structure for explaining the method of doing something, followed by a complete clause.
× I think that some of them still do because people see handwriting letters as art rather than the practical and way of communicating with other people.
✓ I think that some of them still do because people see handwritten letters as art rather than as a practical way of communicating with other people.
Use the adjective 'handwritten' to describe 'letters'. The word 'handwriting' is a noun and cannot modify 'letters' in this sentence.
× I think that some of them still do because people see handwriting letters as art rather than the practical and way of communicating with other people.
✓ I think that some of them still do because people see handwritten letters as art rather than as a practical way of communicating with other people.
The singular countable noun 'way' needs an article. Use 'a practical way' because this refers to one possible method of communicating. The phrase 'rather than as' also keeps the two descriptions grammatically parallel.
× I'm a big fan of laminate pens, not books with white lines.
✓ I'm a big fan of laminated pens, not books with white lines.
When describing something that has been covered with a layer of material, use the past participial adjective 'laminated', not the base verb 'laminate'.
× I love to practice my handwriting on the notebook with pens.
✓ I love to practice my handwriting in a notebook with pens.
Use 'in a notebook' when referring to writing inside the pages of a notebook. 'On' is more commonly used for writing on a surface, such as 'on a piece of paper'.
× I love to practice my handwriting on the notebook with pens.
✓ I love to practice my handwriting in a notebook with pens.
The indefinite article 'a' is appropriate because the speaker is referring to any notebook in general, not to one specific notebook already identified.
