Do you like drawing?
Candidato
Yes. I'm a person who loves to draw, especially because I've picked it up ever since I was a kid. It really just helps me to destress throughout the day and have a sense of relaxation and to ease my mind off of things that I worry about. I really enjoy drawing landscapes and everything, so yes.

Do you want to learn more about art?
Candidato
Yes, I do want to learn more about art. As a person who loves art myself, I do want to analyze and have an overall idea of how art is created, how it expresses emotion, and how it presents itself in such a way such as Lance.
Examinador
Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?
Candidato
No, I wouldn't say. I learnt drawing when I was a kid. It moreover came pretty natural for me since I'm a person who loves to look at things that are pleasing to the eye. I like to imitate and copy the looks and the designs of it as much as I can. So I wouldn't say.
Examinador
Do you like art?
Candidato
Yes, I really do love art. I feel like it gives a sense of feeling into it, the way it expresses emotion in its own unique way and it's unique patterns and designs. It really just fascinates me how humans can create all of this.
Examinador
Do you want to be an artist?
Candidato
I wouldn't say that I want to be an artist, although I do want to master drawing and learning how to express things through art. However, I do not see myself as an artist in the future.
Examinador
Do you like modern art or traditional art?
Candidato
I like traditional art way better than modern art because I feel like traditional art just has the sense of nostalgia and it expresses a lot of emotion into it and the story that it tells. It's very fascinating comparing to modern art.
Do you like drawing?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Be more concise and organize your answer: give a clear topic sentence, one or two specific supporting details, and a short concluding link. Avoid repetition (e.g., "a sense of relaxation" and "ease my mind" say similar things). Use one linking phrase to connect the reason and an example.
Exemplo: Yes, I love drawing. It helps me relax after a busy day, so I often sketch landscapes to unwind. For example, last week I spent an hour drawing a riverside scene, which helped me stop worrying and focus on details.
Do you like to go to the gallery?
Pontuação: 74.0Sugestão: Start with a direct answer, then give one clear specific reason and one brief example. Avoid vague phrases like "various ideas and information"—specify what ideas or what style. Remove filler words and repetition.
Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy going to galleries because they expose me to different styles, such as impressionism and realism. For instance, seeing a realist landscape recently inspired me to try new shading techniques.
Do you want to learn more about art?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Provide a clearer, more specific explanation and avoid unclear references (e.g., "such as Lance" is unclear). Use one or two concrete areas you want to study (techniques, history, or color theory) and a short reason.
Exemplo: Yes, I want to learn more about art, especially about technique and how color conveys emotion. For example, I plan to study oil painting techniques and the use of warm versus cool palettes to better express mood.
Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: This answer is confusing and contradictory. Give a single clear response (yes or no), then explain briefly with specific details. Avoid repeating contradictory statements and unnecessary phrases like "so I wouldn't say."
Exemplo: Yes, I learned to draw as a child, but mainly by copying things I liked rather than taking formal lessons. For example, I used to reproduce pictures from books to practice shapes and shading.
Do you like art?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Keep the answer direct and use more precise vocabulary. Give one specific reason why you like art and a short example rather than repeating similar phrases about uniqueness and emotion.
Exemplo: Yes, I love art because it communicates emotion without words. For instance, a painting I saw recently used color and texture to convey sadness, which moved me deeply.
Do you want to be an artist?
Pontuação: 80.0Sugestão: This is clear but could be tightened. Start with a direct statement, then explain the reason and give a realistic plan or goal. Avoid repeating the phrase "I wouldn't say" twice.
Exemplo: Not necessarily; I don't plan to be a professional artist, but I do want to master drawing as a hobby. For example, I take weekly classes to improve my technique so I can express ideas more clearly in my work.
Do you like modern art or traditional art?
Pontuação: 76.0Sugestão: Answer directly and give one or two clear reasons with specific examples. Avoid vague claims like "a lot of emotion"—describe what about traditional art conveys that emotion (technique, subject matter, color).
Exemplo: I prefer traditional art because it often tells clear stories and uses familiar techniques that evoke nostalgia. For example, classical landscape paintings with soft light and detailed brushwork remind me of childhood places and feel emotionally resonant.
× It really just helps me to destress throughout the day and have a sense of relaxation and to ease my mind off of things that I worry about.
✓ It really helps me destress throughout the day, gives me a sense of relaxation, and eases my mind about the things I worry about.
Original sentence contained unnecessary 'just' and inconsistent verb forms after 'helps me to' (infinitive) and 'have' (base form). When listing parallel verbs, keep consistent forms. Use 'helps me destress' (verb) and then parallel verbs 'gives' and 'eases'. Also prefer 'about the things I worry about' or simply 'about things I worry about' for natural phrasing.
× It gives me various ideas and and information of different art styles that I take interest in and it just depicts all sorts of images that are very intricate to the eye.
✓ It gives me various ideas and information about different art styles that I am interested in, and it depicts many images that are very intricate to the eye.
Use 'interested in' rather than 'take interest in'. Use preposition 'about' for 'information about'. Also remove repeated 'and' and change 'all sorts of' to 'many' for conciseness. Maintain parallel structure and natural collocations.
× As a person who loves art myself, I do want to analyze and have an overall idea of how art is created, how it expresses emotion, and how it presents itself in such a way such as Lance.
✓ As someone who loves art, I want to analyze and understand how art is created, how it expresses emotion, and how it presents itself, for example in landscape paintings.
Original used 'myself' redundantly and ended with unclear phrase 'such as Lance' which seems to be a misuse of a noun. Replace with a clear example like 'landscape paintings'. Use 'analyze and understand' for natural collocation. Also 'someone' is more natural than 'a person who'.
× No, I wouldn't say. I learnt drawing when I was a kid.
✓ No, I wouldn't say so. I learned to draw when I was a kid.
Use 'learned to draw' rather than 'learnt drawing'. In American English 'learned' is common; 'learnt' is British but still the verb pattern should be 'learned to draw' or 'learned drawing' is less natural. Also add 'so' to 'I wouldn't say so' to complete the response.
× It moreover came pretty natural for me since I'm a person who loves to look at things that are pleasing to the eye.
✓ It also came fairly naturally to me since I enjoy looking at things that are pleasing to the eye.
Use 'also' instead of 'moreover' in spoken context. Use adverb 'naturally' (not 'natural') and 'to me' rather than 'for me' is acceptable; 'come naturally to someone' is the correct collocation. 'I enjoy looking at' is more natural than 'I'm a person who loves to look at'.
× I like to imitate and copy the looks and the designs of it as much as I can.
✓ I like to imitate and copy the looks and designs of things as much as I can.
Avoid vague singular 'it' when referring to plural or general 'things'. Use 'things' or 'works' for clarity. 'Looks and designs' do not need 'the' before 'designs'.
× I feel like it gives a sense of feeling into it, the way it expresses emotion in its own unique way and it's unique patterns and designs.
✓ I feel it gives a sense of feeling, expressing emotion in its own unique way, and showing unique patterns and designs.
Avoid repetitive 'it' and possessive contraction 'it's' (it is) is fine but here better to use 'showing unique patterns'. Original had awkward phrasing 'gives a sense of feeling into it'. Streamline to clear verbs and parallel structure.
× I wouldn't say that I want to be an artist, although I do want to master drawing and learning how to express things through art.
✓ I wouldn't say that I want to be an artist, although I do want to master drawing and learn how to express things through art.
Maintain parallel verb forms: 'want to master' and 'learn', not 'learning'. Use infinitive 'learn' to match 'want to' construction.
× I like traditional art way better than modern art because I feel like traditional art just has the sense of nostalgia and it expresses a lot of emotion into it and the story that it tells.
✓ I prefer traditional art to modern art because I feel traditional art has a sense of nostalgia, expresses a lot of emotion, and tells a strong story.
Use 'prefer X to Y' for comparisons rather than 'like X way better than Y'. Remove unnecessary 'just' and incorrect 'expresses ... into it' — use 'expresses emotion'. Make items parallel: 'has..., expresses..., tells...'. Also 'a sense of nostalgia' is the correct collocation.
× It's very fascinating comparing to modern art.
✓ It's much more fascinating compared to modern art.
Use 'compared to' or 'than' for comparisons. 'Comparing to' is incorrect here. 'Much more fascinating' is a natural comparative phrase.
