Part 1
考官
Do you work or are you a student?
考生
I work. Actually. I have been working as a primary school teacher at an International School for over 4 years now. I'm really passionate about this field. Even though it can be draining physically and mentally, it's also quite rewarding.
考官
Where do you work?>
考生
As I stated in the previous question, I'm currently working at an International School in Moscow, Russia. Uh, it's pretty diverse and interesting. Uh, we have teachers from different parts of the world. They're really cooperative and collaborative.
考官
Is it a good place to work?
考生
I would say it's a great place to gain experience and grow as a teacher. Also, managers are really supportive and they make sure that teachers are getting enough resources and they are well respected by parents and students and they never hesitate to support us when we are in trouble.
考官
Would you like the place where you work?
考生
I would say yes because I got adjusted to the environment, the students and everyone there. It has become my comfort zone because I know all the aspects about my workplace. Although there are things that could be improved, but overall I'm happy to be a part of the team.
考官
What are your future work plans?
考生
Well, I'm planning to immigrate to Canada to work as a primary school teacher. I know that immigrating to a different country can be daunting, but Canada has always been my dream country and I really want to establish a career there.
Do you work or are you a student?
分數: 84.0建議: Avoid short fillers and combine sentences to sound more natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep to a maximum of five sentences and vary vocabulary slightly.
範例: I work as a primary school teacher at an international school and have been there for over four years. I'm passionate about teaching because I enjoy helping children develop core skills, and although the job can be physically and mentally draining, it's very rewarding. For example, I often see shy students become more confident after a few months of support.
Where do you work?
分數: 80.0建議: Be concise and avoid hesitation sounds. Combine related ideas into a coherent reply and add one specific detail (e.g., subjects taught or a multicultural activity) with linking words to improve coherence.
範例: I work at an international school in Moscow, which is quite diverse and interesting. For instance, teachers come from different countries and we often run multicultural projects together, so collaboration is a major strength of our staff.
Is it a good place to work?
分數: 86.0建議: Avoid long run-on sentences. Use linking words to structure your points (first, also, therefore). Give one concrete example showing management support to strengthen the answer and keep it within five sentences.
範例: Yes, it's a great place to gain experience and grow as a teacher. For example, managers provide regular training workshops and ensure classrooms are well resourced, which means we can focus on teaching without worrying about supplies.
Would you like the place where you work?
分數: 82.0建議: Remove redundant phrases and avoid contradictions like 'although... but'. Start with a clear opinion, then give one or two specific reasons and a brief example of something to improve to show balance.
範例: Yes, I like it because I've adjusted to the students and colleagues and feel comfortable with daily routines. However, one area for improvement would be clearer communication about curriculum changes, which would help teachers plan more effectively.
What are your future work plans?
分數: 84.0建議: Give a direct topic sentence and add specific steps or a timeline to make the plan more concrete. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid vague phrases like 'a different country' if possible.
範例: I plan to immigrate to Canada to continue my career as a primary school teacher. To prepare, I'm researching certification requirements, saving for relocation, and planning to apply for jobs within the next year because Canada has a strong education system and it's been my goal for several years.
× Student: I work. Actually. I have been working as a primary school teacher at an International School for over 4 years now.
✓ Student: I work. Actually, I have been working as a primary school teacher at an international school for over four years now.
The original has awkward sentence fragments and punctuation: 'Actually.' as a standalone fragment is incorrect (Sentence structure errors). Combine into one sentence and use a comma after 'Actually'. Use lowercase for 'international school' as it is not a proper noun, and write 'four' in words for formality. Suggestion: join fragments, fix punctuation, and follow capitalization norms.
× Student: As I stated in the previous question, I'm currently working at an International School in Moscow, Russia. Uh, it's pretty diverse and interesting. Uh, we have teachers from different parts of the world. They're really cooperative and collaborative.
✓ Student: As I stated in the previous question, I'm currently working at an international school in Moscow, Russia. It's quite diverse and interesting; we have teachers from different parts of the world who are cooperative and collaborative.
'International School' should be lowercase (not a specific name). Using 'Uh' and splitting into short sentences is informal and disfluent (Sentence structure errors). The relative clause 'who are cooperative and collaborative' correctly links the teachers to the description (Incorrect use of pronouns was applied because 'They're' splitting across sentences was less precise). Suggestion: remove filler sounds, combine sentences for clarity, and use a relative clause to describe teachers.
× Student: I would say it's a great place to gain experience and grow as a teacher. Also, managers are really supportive and they make sure that teachers are getting enough resources and they are well respected by parents and students and they never hesitate to support us when we are in trouble.

Original is wordy and has repetition of 'they' causing clarity issues and slight agreement/parallelism problems (Subject-verb agreement and parallel structure). 'Teachers are getting' is awkward present progressive where simple present 'teachers get' is better for habitual actions (Present tense issue but here fixed under subject-verb/parallelism). Suggestion: add 'the' before 'managers' if referring to specific managers, use simple present for routines, and keep verbs in parallel form.
× Student: I would say yes because I got adjusted to the environment, the students and everyone there. It has become my comfort zone because I know all the aspects about my workplace. Although there are things that could be improved, but overall I'm happy to be a part of the team.
✓ Student: I would say yes because I have adjusted to the environment, the students, and everyone there. It has become my comfort zone because I know all aspects of my workplace. Although there are things that could be improved, overall I'm happy to be part of the team.
Problems: 'got adjusted' is informal and non-idiomatic; use present perfect 'have adjusted' for a state that continues. 'All the aspects about' should be 'all aspects of' (preposition error). The clause 'Although ..., but overall' is redundant and incorrect conjunction combination (Incorrect conjunction use). Suggestions: use present perfect for ongoing states, correct preposition 'of', remove redundant conjunctions, and omit unnecessary articles.

✓ Student: Well, I'm planning to immigrate to Canada to work as a primary school teacher. I know that immigrating to a different country can be daunting, but Canada has always been my dream country, and I really want to build a career there.
'Establish a career' is understandable but 'build a career' is more natural collocation in this context. The original uses correct modal sense; change focuses on word choice rather than modal error. Also add a comma before 'and' to join independent clauses. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'build a career' and punctuate compound sentences correctly.
