Candidato

Do you work or are you a student?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence ("I am a student") and then give 1–2 specific supporting details. Avoid hesitation sounds ("uh, umm") and unclear phrases ("go through a ancient exam"). Use correct tense and simple, accurate sentences. Aim for coherence: link ideas with short connectors like "then" or "because."
Exemplo: I am a student. I attended Mercury Secondary School, and I recently passed an important entrance exam to enter high school in Hanoi. I’m pleased about this because the high school is well-regarded and offers strong academic support.
Where do you study?
Pontuação: 40.0Sugestão: Give a clear place first, then one or two precise details about time or routine. Avoid irrelevant or confusing phrases ("in fashion time," "we have 4 fish"). Use punctuation to separate ideas and linking words like "because" or "and then." Keep sentences shorter and grammatically correct.
Exemplo: I usually study at home. I study most evenings from about 8:00 PM to midnight because I find that I can concentrate best at that time. In the mornings I study at school when I have free periods.
Is it a good place to study?
Pontuação: 75.0Sugestão: This answer is clear and relevant. To improve, add one specific example of a topic you discussed or an online resource you used, and use a linking word to contrast the two places (e.g., "however" or "also"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, school is a good place to study because I can ask classmates to explain difficult topics, for example when we discussed calculus problems last week. At home I also use online resources like Khan Academy or AI tools to review and clarify points I missed.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Pontuação: 50.0Sugestão: Structure the answer: state one change at home and one at school. Use clear reasons and examples. Avoid vague phrases ("take the quality facilitate"). Use linking words like "because" and "also." Keep sentences concise and correct grammar ("reduce noise" not "a bit reduce").
Exemplo: Yes. At home I would like less noise because my family talks loudly and it is hard for me to concentrate. At school, I wish teachers would give more individual attention, for example more time for students who struggle with certain subjects.
What are your future study plans?
Pontuação: 85.0Sugestão: This answer is clear, relevant and well-structured. To reach a higher score, add a brief specific example of how you will apply these techniques (e.g., subjects or schedule) and a linking phrase to show sequencing.
Exemplo: I plan to use the Pomodoro technique for subjects like math and biology, studying for 25–30 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. I will also explain topics to classmates after each study session, because teaching helps me remember concepts better.
× I am a student and at first I was uh at Mercury Secondary School, but now I have go through a ancient exam and have been too late during high school.
✓ I am a student. I first attended Mercury Secondary School, but now I took an entrance exam and was admitted to high school later than usual.
The original sentence has multiple structure problems: incorrect verb forms ('have go through' should be 'took' or 'went through'), wrong article ('a ancient' should be 'an entrance' or 'an ancient' is incorrect meaning), and confusing time expression ('have been too late during high school'). Split into clearer sentences and use past simple for completed actions. Suggestion: break long sentences into shorter ones, use 'attended' for past school attendance, 'took an entrance exam' for the exam action, and 'was admitted later than usual' to express being late.
× That was a happy a pleasure for me because they could do High school is a best school in Hanoi, so that made me feel.
✓ That was a happy moment for me because that high school is one of the best schools in Hanoi, so I felt proud.
Problems: redundant articles ('a happy a pleasure'), wrong word choices and capitalization ('High school' should be 'high school'), and incorrect superlative ('is a best school' should be 'one of the best schools' or 'the best school'). Also sentence ended abruptly. Use 'moment' or 'experience' instead of 'pleasure' here, and restructure to complete the idea.
× Well, I am very good at learning and studying.
✓ Well, I am good at learning and studying.
Minor redundancy: 'very good at learning and studying' is acceptable but repetitive; simplified to 'good at learning and studying'. No tense change needed. Suggestion: choose one verb ('learning' or 'studying') to avoid repetition.
× I often learn in my house the best time I start to study is about 8:00 PM to 12:00 PM because it's like the time, the most concentration time for me to start doing something very clearly and deeply and also with me either in fashion time forever and I have.
✓ I often study at home. The best time I start studying is about 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM because that is when I have the most concentration and can study more clearly and deeply.
Original sentence has misplaced adverbs and confusing time expressions ('12:00 PM' should be '12:00 AM' for midnight), run-on structure, and awkward phrases ('fashion time forever'). Break into two sentences, place time and adverbial phrases correctly ('study at home', 'the best time to study is'). Use 'have the most concentration' or 'am most focused'.
× We have 4 fish as a best way at best time to learn and also I in the morning most of the time I learn at school but that.
✓ We have four fish, which helps me relax at the best times for learning. In the morning, most of the time I study at school.
The original is confusing: 'We have 4 fish as a best way at best time to learn' is ungrammatical. Interpret likely meaning that keeping fish helps relaxation. Use 'which helps me relax' and correct numeral to 'four'. Remove trailing incomplete clause 'but that'.
× Yes, definitely school is a good place to study because I can discuss topic with my friends and ask them to explain things I don't understand, and at home I often use AI or other online resources to find additional information and clarify difficult points.
✓ Yes, definitely. School is a good place to study because I can discuss topics with my friends and ask them to explain things I don't understand. At home, I often use AI or other online resources to find additional information and clarify difficult points.
Errors: missing plural 'topics' (singular/plural issue) and run-on sentence. Split into two sentences and add comma after introductory phrase. Correct 'discuss topic' to 'discuss topics'.
× Umm yes definitely, like I need my place, my study place to a bit reduce the noise pollution because my family always talks so loud that I sometimes can concentrate and focus on my study time and at school I take the quality facilitate.
✓ Umm, yes definitely. I need my study place to be a bit quieter to reduce noise pollution because my family always talks so loudly, so I sometimes cannot concentrate during my study time. At school, the facilities should be of better quality.
Pronoun and verb issues: 'my place, my study place to a bit reduce' missing 'to be' and 'reduce' placement. 'Talks so loud' should be 'talks so loudly'. 'I sometimes can concentrate' meaning reversed; should be 'cannot'. 'I take the quality facilitate' is unclear; interpret as 'the facilities should be better' and correct to that form.
× The academic other teachers should be better because they don't like sometimes.
✓ The other academic teachers should be better because sometimes they are not attentive.
Awkward pronoun order 'academic other teachers' -> 'other academic teachers'. 'They don't like sometimes' is unclear; likely intended 'they are not attentive sometimes' or 'they do not teach well sometimes'. Use 'sometimes they are not attentive'.
× They don't usually focus on students that they don't really go as some subject they learn.
✓ They don't usually focus on students, and they do not teach some subjects thoroughly.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. Rephrase to express two points: teachers do not focus on students and do not teach some subjects thoroughly. Use parallel structure and correct verb forms.
× I plan to use study technique like Pomodoro technique to stay focused.
✓ I plan to use study techniques like the Pomodoro technique to stay focused.
Count noun and article needed: 'study technique' should be plural 'study techniques' or 'a study technique' and 'the Pomodoro technique' requires 'the'. No -ing change required here; categorized as technique use but also article/number. Suggest using plural when speaking generally.
× I will work for 25 to 30 minutes and then take a 5 minute break.
✓ I will work for 25 to 30 minutes and then take a 5-minute break.
Hyphenate compound adjective '5-minute'. Future tense is fine. Add hyphen to be grammatically correct.
× I will also use the famous technique by trying to explain topics to others because teaching help me understand and remember the material better.
✓ I will also use the technique of trying to explain topics to others because teaching helps me understand and remember the material better.
Subject-verb agreement: 'teaching help me' should be 'teaching helps me' (third-person singular). Also 'famous technique by trying' is awkward; rephrase to 'the technique of trying to explain'. Use -s on 'help' to match singular subject 'teaching'.
