Do you work or are you a student?
Thí sinh
Well, I'm a student and I'm in high school. I'm about to finish my 11th grade soon and I hope I will enter to university. I'm going to study computer science there.
Giám khảo
Where do you study?
Thí sinh
I study in high school, My school locates near my house so it makes me easy to get there. Uh, I learn uh, different subjects here like biology, physics or maths. I also go to additional classes like maths, physics and IT because I enjoy learning computer science.

Is it a good place to study?
Thí sinh
I enjoy standing but I can confidently say that that is a not good place to study because teachers are not interested in their subject, they are not responsible for it. That's why all children need to go and have additional classes to understand this topic clearly.
Giám khảo
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Thí sinh
Yes, I definitely want to have any changes in my school. Firstly, I want our school to have different facilities for physics or chemistry classes. I also want to change all teachers because it's better to have responsible teachers that are interested in their subject.

What are your future study plans?
Thí sinh
Firstly, I hope I will graduate my school in next year and then I will enter the university of my dream. I want to study computer science and develop myself in this sphere.
Do you work or are you a student?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid redundancy (e.g. "I hope I will enter to university" → "I hope to get into university"). Use correct collocations and grammar ("enter university", "finish 11th grade").
Ví dụ: I'm a high school student currently finishing 11th grade. Next year I hope to get into university to study computer science, which I’ve been preparing for by taking extra IT classes.
Where do you study?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Begin with a clear direct sentence about the school's location, then give one specific supporting detail and connect ideas with linking words (e.g. "because", "so"). Reduce filler words ("uh"). Correct phrasing: "My school is near my house," "it’s easy to get there," and name subjects smoothly.
Ví dụ: My school is near my house, so it’s easy for me to get there. I study subjects such as biology, physics and maths, and I also attend extra lessons in maths, physics and IT because I’m preparing for a degree in computer science.
Is it a good place to study?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion (Yes/No) then give one or two specific reasons using linking words ("because", "so"). Avoid unclear phrases like "I enjoy standing" and repetitions. Provide a concise result or consequence.
Ví dụ: No, I don’t think it’s a good place to study because many teachers seem uninterested and unreliable, so students often need extra classes to understand the material properly.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and then give specific, realistic changes. Use linking words like "firstly" and "also" correctly. Avoid absolute statements like changing "all teachers"; instead suggest improving teacher training or hiring more qualified staff.
Ví dụ: Yes. Firstly, I’d like better laboratory facilities for physics and chemistry so students can do more experiments. Also, the school should hire or train more committed teachers who are knowledgeable and motivated to teach.
What are your future study plans?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: Give a clear sequence: finish school then university. Use natural phrases: "graduate next year," "get into my dream university," "study computer science" and explain briefly why or what you hope to achieve. Keep it concise.
Ví dụ: I plan to graduate from high school next year and then get into my dream university to study computer science. I want to specialize in software development so I can build useful applications and keep improving my skills.
× I'm about to finish my 11th grade soon and I hope I will enter to university.
✓ I'm about to finish 11th grade soon and I hope I will enter university.
Use of article 'the' before grade is unnecessary in this context; native speakers say 'finish 11th grade' or 'finish grade 11.' Also 'enter to university' is incorrect collocation: use 'enter university' or 'go to university.' Suggestion: say 'finish 11th grade' and 'enter university.'
× I study in high school, My school locates near my house so it makes me easy to get there.
✓ I study at a high school. My school is located near my house, so it's easy for me to get there.
'Study in high school' is acceptable but 'study at a high school' is more natural. 'Locates' is incorrect for intransitive use; use 'is located.' Also comma splice and capitalization error: separate sentences. 'Makes me easy to get there' is unidiomatic; use 'it's easy for me to get there.'
× Uh, I learn uh, different subjects here like biology, physics or maths.
✓ Uh, I study different subjects here, like biology, physics, and math.
'Learn' is not wrong but 'study' is the usual verb for school subjects. Use commas correctly and include 'and' before the last item. Use 'math' or 'maths' consistently; prefer 'math' or 'mathematics.'
× I also go to additional classes like maths, physics and IT because I enjoy learning computer science.
✓ I also attend extra classes in math, physics, and IT because I enjoy learning computer science.
'Go to additional classes' is understandable but 'attend extra classes' or 'take additional classes' is more natural. Use 'in' before subjects and include Oxford comma for clarity. Use consistent subject names ('math').
× I enjoy standing but I can confidently say that that is a not good place to study because teachers are not interested in their subject, they are not responsible for it.
✓ I enjoy studying, but I can confidently say that it is not a good place to study because the teachers are not interested in their subjects and are not responsible.
'Enjoy standing' is incorrect; should be 'enjoy studying.' Double 'that that' is erroneous; change to single 'that.' 'a not good place' word order wrong: 'not a good place' or 'it is not a good place.' 'Teachers are not interested in their subject' needs plural 'subjects' and avoid comma splice: join clauses with 'and.'
× That's why all children need to go and have additional classes to understand this topic clearly.
✓ That's why all students need to attend extra classes to understand these topics clearly.
'Children' can be okay but 'students' fits context. 'Go and have additional classes' is awkward; use 'attend extra classes' or 'take additional classes.' 'This topic' is singular while earlier 'subjects' plural; use 'these topics' or 'the subjects.'
× Yes, I definitely want to have any changes in my school.
✓ Yes, I definitely want some changes in my school.
'Want to have any changes' is incorrect: use 'want some changes' or 'would like some changes.' 'Any' with affirmative 'want' is unidiomatic. Alternatively 'want to make changes' is possible.
× Firstly, I want our school to have different facilities for physics or chemistry classes.
✓ Firstly, I want our school to have better facilities for physics and chemistry classes.
'Different facilities for physics or chemistry' is awkward; likely meaning 'better facilities for physics and chemistry.' Use 'and' not 'or' when referring to both subjects. 'Different' ambiguous.
× I also want to change all teachers because it's better to have responsible teachers that are interested in their subject.
✓ I also want to replace some teachers because it's better to have responsible teachers who are interested in their subjects.
'Change all teachers' sounds extreme; 'replace some teachers' is more natural. Use 'who' for people, and 'subjects' plural to match 'teachers.'
× Firstly, I hope I will graduate my school in next year and then I will enter the university of my dream.
✓ Firstly, I hope I will graduate from my school next year and then I will enter the university of my dreams.
Use 'graduate from' not 'graduate my school.' Remove 'in' before 'next year.' 'The university of my dream' should be 'the university of my dreams.'
× I want to study computer science and develop myself in this sphere.
✓ I want to study computer science and develop myself in this field.
'Develop myself in this sphere' is understandable but 'in this field' is more natural collocation in English. 'Sphere' is formal and less common.
