Is it a good place to study?
Thí sinh
So I think it is because the school has a wide range of facilities, like not only libraries but also some group studying places and the like. And also professors are really approachable so that they can go to them and like ask them and talk about our future.

Do you work or are you a student?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: give a clear topic sentence then one or two supporting details. Avoid redundant phrases and minor inaccuracies. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., because, so, and). Pronunciation of names is fine but keep sentences shorter to sound more fluent.
Ví dụ: I'm a fifth-year veterinary medicine student at Kung Fu University, which has a six-year program, so I have one year left. I’m in the Kangen group and have been focusing on clinical skills and hospital placements this year.
Where do you study?

× I am a student and I'm attending at Kung Fu University in Kangen group and I'm in my fifth year because I am majoring in veterinary medicine which has a six year curriculum and I have one more year to go.
✓ I am a student and I study at Kung Fu University in the Kangen group. I'm in my fifth year because I am majoring in veterinary medicine, which has a six-year curriculum, so I have one more year to go.
Errors: incorrect use of 'attending at' and awkward tense/structure. 'Attend' is used without 'at' for institutions or 'attend classes at' if specifying place; however 'study at' fits better. Also sentence run-on and missing hyphen in 'six-year'. Suggest splitting into shorter clauses and using present simple 'study' for ongoing enrollment. Suggested improvement: use 'study at' for institutions, add hyphen in compound adjective 'six-year', and break long sentences into clearer parts.
× Well, I'm studying at Concord University and I'm majoring in veterinary medicine. I am a fifth year student and I've been here for 4 1/2 years.
✓ Well, I'm studying at Concord University and I'm majoring in veterinary medicine. I am a fifth-year student, and I've been here for four and a half years.
Errors: missing hyphen in 'fifth-year' when used as a compound adjective; numeric format consistency. Use words for numbers in formal speech/text and hyphenate compound adjectives. Tense usage is correct (present perfect 'I've been here' for duration).
× So I think it is because the school has a wide range of facilities, like not only libraries but also some group studying places and the like.
✓ So I think it is, because the school has a wide range of facilities, not only libraries but also group study rooms and the like.
Errors: 'group studying places' is unnatural. Use 'group study rooms' or 'group study areas'. Also unnecessary 'some' before countable noun. Suggest using standard collocations and simpler phrasing.
× And also professors are really approachable so that they can go to them and like ask them and talk about our future.
✓ Also, the professors are really approachable, so we can go to them, ask questions, and talk about our future.
Errors: confusing pronoun reference 'they can go to them' (professors cannot go to themselves). Use correct subject 'we' to indicate students seeking professors. Remove filler 'like' and simplify 'ask them' to 'ask questions'.
× Yes, while there are enough facilities at school now, I hope they're more approachable to me.
✓ Yes, while there are enough facilities at the school now, I hope they are more accessible to me.
Errors: 'they're more approachable to me' wrongly uses 'approachable' (describes people, not facilities) and unclear pronoun 'they' (facilities). Use 'accessible' for facilities or change to 'professors are more approachable'. Clarify meaning and use correct collocation.
× Like I hope there are more rooms and classes in the building.
✓ For example, I hope there are more rooms and classrooms in the building.
Errors: 'classes in the building' could mean courses; likely intended 'classrooms'. Replace informal 'Like' with 'For example' or nothing. Use precise noun 'classrooms' for rooms.
× I usually attend the lectures and I also hope there are some more practical rooms that we can practice techniques that improve our skills.
✓ I usually attend the lectures, and I also hope there are more practical rooms where we can practice techniques to improve our skills.
Errors: 'rooms that we can practice techniques' needs 'where' for location. 'Practice techniques that improve' is grammatical but clearer as 'practice techniques to improve'. Restructure for natural flow.
× Well, I have one in the shop one year to go on universities, so I might attend lectures as usual and go for some practical training in hospitals.
✓ Well, I have one year left at university, so I might attend lectures as usual and do some practical training in hospitals.
Errors: 'I have one in the shop one year to go on universities' is ungrammatical and unclear. Correct phrase is 'I have one year left at university'. Use 'do practical training' rather than 'go for'. Simplify to clear, idiomatic English.
× And after graduation I have to work as an intern in local and hospitals and then I have to study more about specifically about my patients.
✓ After graduation I have to work as an intern in local hospitals, and then I need to study more specifically about my patients.
Errors: 'in local and hospitals' is wrong word order and missing noun; should be 'in local hospitals'. Redundant 'about' twice: 'study more specifically about' -> 'study more specifically' or 'study more about'. Use 'need to' for natural phrasing.
