Do you work or are you a student?
Pontuação: 67.0Sugestão: Be more concise, correct grammar and use clearer vocabulary. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Fix tense and article errors (e.g., 'finished my L levels' -> 'finished my A-levels'; 'focus improving' -> 'am focusing on improving').
Exemplo: I'm a student. I recently finished my A-levels and I'm preparing to study in Australia, so at the moment I'm focusing on improving my academic English. For example, I take online courses and practise academic writing twice a week to prepare for university.
Where do you study?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Open with a clear topic sentence and correct grammar. Provide one specific reason why you study at home and a brief supporting detail connected with linking words. Avoid vague praise like 'very excellent thing.'
Exemplo: I mainly study at home because I can't attend school at the moment. Since I have finished my A-levels and am waiting to start university, I use my home as a quiet place to revise; for instance, I follow a study timetable every day.
Is it a good place to study?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Provide a clear, grammatically correct opinion with specific reasons and linking words. Say why it is not ideal and give an example of how the environment affects your study. Correct sentence structure and word choice (e.g., 'my home is located in a very busy area').
Exemplo: I don't think my home is a good place to study because it is in a very busy area, so there is a lot of noise and distraction. For example, traffic and neighboring activities often interrupt my concentration during study sessions.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Give a direct response and describe one or two realistic changes with reasons and linking words. Use formal alternatives to 'wanna' and avoid fillers ('umm'). Be specific about what 'decoration' entails and how it will help concentration.
Exemplo: Definitely. I would like to make several changes at home to improve my study environment. For example, I plan to build a small, quiet study corner with a desk and bookshelves, and add soft lighting and minimal decorations to reduce distractions and help me focus.
What are your future study plans?
Pontuação: 66.0Sugestão: Begin with a clear statement of your plans, then give a specific reason and a brief supporting detail using linking words. Correct phrasing ('higher studies' not 'high studies') and reduce hesitations. Explain how studying in Australia will benefit your career with one concrete example.
Exemplo: I plan to study in Australia for my higher education because it offers excellent programs and international exposure. For instance, studying there will allow me to specialise in my field and gain internship opportunities that could improve my career prospects.
× Actually, I'm currently a student.
✓ I'm currently a student.
The original sentence contains redundancy: 'Actually' and 'currently' both add similar emphasis. While not a strict grammatical error, removing 'Actually' makes the sentence clearer and more natural. Suggestion: use one temporal/emphatic word rather than both.
× I recently finished my L levels and I'm preparing for my high studies in Australia.
✓ I recently finished my L levels and I'm preparing for my higher studies in Australia.
The phrase 'high studies' is incorrect. Use 'higher studies' to refer to tertiary or advanced education. Keep tenses consistent: 'recently finished' (past) and 'I'm preparing' (present continuous) is fine.
× So these days I focus improving my English academic skills, mostly because it is a very important thing.
✓ These days I focus on improving my English academic skills because they are very important.
The verb 'focus' requires the preposition 'on' before a gerund: 'focus on improving'. Also 'English academic skills' is plural, so use 'they are' rather than 'it is'. Remove vague 'thing' for clarity.
× Well to be honest I study at home mostly because I can't go to the school.
✓ Well, to be honest, I study at home mostly because I can't go to school.
Do not use the definite article 'the' with 'school' when speaking generally. Add commas for natural pauses. 'Go to school' is the correct idiom for attending school.
× I'm finished my A levels so I'm waiting for my universities.
✓ I've finished my A levels, so I'm waiting to hear from universities.
Use the present perfect 'I've finished' for recent completed actions with present relevance. 'Waiting for my universities' is unnatural; 'waiting to hear from universities' or 'waiting for university offers' is idiomatic.
× I think it's very excellent thing.
✓ I think it's an excellent opportunity.
'Very excellent' is redundant and unidiomatic; 'excellent' suffices. Also 'thing' is vague; use 'opportunity' or 'situation' depending on meaning, and include the article 'an' before a singular countable noun.
× Actually I don't think home is the good place to study.
✓ Actually, I don't think home is a good place to study.
Use the indefinite article 'a' before 'good place' when speaking generally. Add commas for natural speech rhythm.
× Probably my home located in very busy area so I can't focus many uh things.
✓ My home is located in a very busy area, so I can't focus on many things.
The sentence needs the verb 'is' after 'home' ('my home is located'). Use the article 'a' before 'very busy area'. Also 'focus on' is the correct phrasal verb; include 'on' before the object.
× Definitely. I like it. I wanna change many things in my home.
✓ Definitely. I like it. I want to change many things in my home.
Use the formal 'want to' in spoken test responses instead of the informal contraction 'wanna'. Contractions are acceptable in speech but 'wanna' is nonstandard in formal contexts.
× I wanna build some umm, quiet place and do some decoration things to umm, focus on study.
✓ I want to build a quiet area and do some decorating to help me focus on studying.
Use 'a quiet area' (singular with article) or 'quiet places' if plural. 'Decoration things' is unidiomatic; use 'decorating' or 'decorations'. Use 'to help me focus on studying' or 'to help me focus on my studies' for clarity. Also replace 'focus on study' with 'focus on studying' or 'focus on my studies'.
× I'm planning to go to Australia for my high studies and I know uh, it is a good idea for my future career opportunities I think I have.
✓ I'm planning to go to Australia for my higher studies because I think it will be good for my future career opportunities.
Replace 'high studies' with 'higher studies'. The clause at the end is awkward: use 'I think it will be good for my future career opportunities' to express future benefit. This uses 'will' appropriately to indicate future consequences.
