Part 1
考官
Are you a patient person?
考生
I consider myself patient in most situations, but sometimes when I really want something, I get so excited about it that I can calm down. When that happens, I tend to pace around and talk vividly about whatever it is I'm looking I'm looking forward to.
考官
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
考生
What makes me really impatient are trips. So when I have my morning flight the night before, I would be really excited. That would be only the only thing I can talk about and I would probably have hard time sleeping simply because I would imagine everything that I'm going to experience on the trip.
考官
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
考生
I am quite comfortable with routine work and rarely have any problems concentrating, so I can easily spend several hours on a repetitive task and it won't bother me. If I am getting boring, I can take a small break or put on some music to help me concentrate.
考官
Does your job require you to be patient?
考生
Actually, yes, even if my job sometimes include work trips that are really exciting, it is also includes many repetitive and fairly boring tasks that I have to do on day-to-day basis. However, I don't struggle with them, so I think I am accustomed to it.
考官
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
考生
I think children generally less patients than adults because their brains are not yet fully developed and they have shorter attention span limits. That's why they can't spend their whole day studying like an adult person spend their whole days working.
Are you a patient person?
分數: 72.0建議: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct the contradiction about calming down, avoid repetition, and use a linking phrase to add one specific example. Aim for 2–3 sentences and fix minor grammar errors.
範例: Yes, I am generally a patient person, but I can become impatient when I am extremely excited about something. For example, before a long-awaited concert I pace and talk about it nonstop because I find it hard to sit still.
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
分數: 78.0建議: Provide a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Correct small grammar errors (e.g., 'would be' → 'am', 'hard time sleeping' → 'a hard time sleeping'), and use linking words for coherence. Keep it within 3 sentences.
範例: Trips make me most impatient. For instance, the night before a morning flight I get so excited that I talk about it constantly and often have a hard time sleeping because I keep imagining the activities I'll do during the trip.
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
分數: 84.0建議: Good structure and relevant details. Improve word choice and grammar (e.g., 'If I am getting boring' → 'If I get bored'), and use a linking phrase to connect ideas. Keep sentences concise and natural.
範例: I am comfortable with routine work and can concentrate for several hours on repetitive tasks. However, if I get bored I usually take a short break or put on some music to help me refocus.
Does your job require you to be patient?
分數: 76.0建議: Begin with a direct topic sentence, fix grammar (e.g., 'include' → 'includes', 'on day-to-day basis' → 'on a day-to-day basis'), and avoid redundancy. Add a brief specific example of a repetitive task to enrich the answer.
範例: Yes, my job does require patience. Although I sometimes travel for exciting projects, my daily duties include repetitive tasks like data entry and scheduling, which I handle calmly because I've become accustomed to them.
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
分數: 70.0建議: Answer directly comparing yourself, not only generalize about children. Correct grammar (e.g., 'less patients' → 'less patient', 'attention span limits' → 'shorter attention spans'), and give a brief personal example showing increased patience. Use 2–3 concise sentences.
範例: Yes, I am more patient now than when I was a child. For example, I can focus on long tasks at work for hours, whereas as a child I would get distracted quickly and give up on homework.
× I consider myself patient in most situations, but sometimes when I really want something, I get so excited about it that I can calm down.
✓ I consider myself patient in most situations, but sometimes when I really want something, I get so excited about it that I cannot calm down.
The original sentence uses 'can calm down' which contradicts the intended meaning. The speaker means they are unable to calm down, so the correct modal phrase is 'cannot calm down' (modal negation). This fixes the semantics and maintains present tense.
× When that happens, I tend to pace around and talk vividly about whatever it is I'm looking I'm looking forward to.
✓ When that happens, I tend to pace around and talk vividly about whatever it is I'm looking forward to.
The original sentence repeats 'I'm looking' and has a word order issue. Remove the duplicate and place 'forward to' after 'looking' to form the correct phrasal verb 'look forward to'. This corrects redundancy and restores natural sentence structure.
× What makes me really impatient are trips.
✓ What makes me really impatient is trips.
The dummy subject 'What' is singular, so the verb must be singular: 'is' not 'are'. This is a subject-verb agreement rule with 'what' as the subject; use singular verb form.
× So when I have my morning flight the night before, I would be really excited.
✓ So when I have my morning flight the night before, I will be really excited.
The conditional/modal 'would' is inappropriate for a definite future feeling tied to a specific event. 'Will' expresses a future certainty or expectation and matches the time reference 'the night before' in this context.
× That would be only the only thing I can talk about and I would probably have hard time sleeping simply because I would imagine everything that I'm going to experience on the trip.
✓ That would be the only thing I could talk about and I would probably have a hard time sleeping simply because I would imagine everything I am going to experience on the trip.
Multiple issues: duplicate 'only the only' should be 'the only'. 'Can' in this hypothetical past/future context should be 'could'. Missing article 'a' before 'hard time'. 'That I'm going to experience' is acceptable but 'I am going to experience' is clearer. These edits align modality and articles.
× If I am getting boring, I can take a small break or put on some music to help me concentrate.
✓ If I get bored, I can take a small break or put on some music to help me concentrate.
'If I am getting boring' is incorrect: the speaker means they become bored, not that they are boring others. Use the adjective 'bored' with simple present 'get' for conditional routines: 'If I get bored'. This corrects adjective choice and tense/aspect.
× Actually, yes, even if my job sometimes include work trips that are really exciting, it is also includes many repetitive and fairly boring tasks that I have to do on day-to-day basis.
✓ Actually, yes, even if my job sometimes includes work trips that are really exciting, it also includes many repetitive and fairly boring tasks that I have to do on a day-to-day basis.
Subject-verb agreement: 'job' is singular so verbs should be 'includes' not 'include'. Also remove redundant 'it is' before 'also includes'. Add article 'a' in 'on a day-to-day basis'. These changes fix agreement, redundancy, and article usage.
× I think children generally less patients than adults because their brains are not yet fully developed and they have shorter attention span limits.
✓ I think children are generally less patient than adults because their brains are not yet fully developed and they have shorter attention spans.
Multiple agreement and word-form errors: 'children' requires 'are' and the comparative should be 'less patient' (adjective), not 'less patients'. 'Attention span limits' is awkward; use plural 'attention spans'. These corrections fix subject-verb agreement and noun/adjective forms.
× That's why they can't spend their whole day studying like an adult person spend their whole days working.
✓ That's why they can't spend their whole day studying like an adult spends their whole day working.
Mismatch in number and tense: 'an adult person spend' should be 'an adult spends' (subject-verb agreement). Also keep singular 'whole day' to match 'an adult' and use 'their' as a gender-neutral singular pronoun; ensure verb agrees with 'an adult' so use 'spends'. This corrects agreement and improves parallel structure.
