Part 1
Examiner
Are you a patient person?
Candidate
Yes, but depending on situations I can be either patient or impatient person. For example, when I do my favorite job, I can totally be a patient person.
Examiner
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Candidate
I think boring tasks which I don't enjoy make me feel impatient, like studying or working out.
Examiner
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Candidate
I think I feel overwhelmed a little because doing something for a long time. Doesn't mean easy job.
Examiner
Does your job require you to be patient?
Candidate
Yeah, it does, because I operate my own business, so I have to control my students to study hard and obviously that is not easy to do.
Examiner
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Candidate
Absolutely not. When I was a child I was really wild. My parents couldn't control me, so I. I did whatever I wanted.
Are you a patient person?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 전반적으로 질문에 직접 답변했지만 문장이 자연스럽지 않고 약간 반복적입니다. 'depending on situations' 대신 더 자연스러운 표현을 사용하고, 예시를 덧붙일 때 연결어를 활용해 흐름을 개선하세요. 또한 길이는 2~3문장으로 간결하게 유지하고 문법(관사, 어순)을 신경쓰세요. 구체적으로는 상황을 하나만 골라 왜 인내심이 생기는지 설명하면 점수가 올라갑니다.
Example: Yes, I would say I'm usually patient. For example, when I'm doing my favorite work, I can focus calmly for hours because I enjoy it and see progress, so I don't get frustrated easily.
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 답은 명확하지만 표현을 더 자연스럽고 구체적으로 바꿀 필요가 있습니다. 'boring tasks which I don't enjoy' 대신 'tasks I find boring or repetitive'처럼 자연스러운 수식어를 쓰고, 이유나 결과를 덧붙여 구체성을 높이세요. 연결어('for example','such as')를 활용해 문장을 매끄럽게 만드세요.
Example: I get impatient when I have to do repetitive or boring tasks. For example, studying topics I find uninteresting or doing long, repetitive workouts makes me lose focus and feel restless.
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 의사를 전달하려는 의도는 보이지만 문법적 오류와 어색한 문장 연결 때문에 의미 전달이 약합니다. 문장을 완전한 주어-동사 구조로 만들고 이유를 구체적으로 설명하세요. 연결어('because','so')를 사용해 논리적 흐름을 강화하세요.
Example: I usually feel a bit overwhelmed when I have to work on something for a long time, because sustained effort can be tiring and it’s hard to stay motivated over many hours.
Does your job require you to be patient?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 직접적으로 답했지만 'control my students' 표현은 다소 강하고 어색합니다. 'manage'나 'motivate' 같은 더 자연스러운 동사를 사용하고, 왜 어려운지 구체적인 예시(예: 다양한 성격, 집중력 차이)를 덧붙이세요. 문장 연결을 매끄럽게 하기 위해 쉼표 사용을 조절하세요.
Example: Yes, it does. I run my own business and teach students, so I need a lot of patience to motivate learners with different abilities and keep them focused during lessons.
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 직접적인 답변이지만 말이 끊기고 반복이 있어 자연스럽지 않습니다. 과거와 현재를 비교하는 문장을 명확히 구성하고, 구체적 예시(특정 행동)나 이유를 덧붙여 설명하세요. 또한 문장 연결을 위해 'however'나 'now' 같은 단어를 사용하면 좋습니다.
Example: No, I'm definitely more patient now than when I was a child. Back then I was quite wild and did whatever I wanted, but as I've grown older I've learned to control my impulses and think before I act.
× Yes, but depending on situations I can be either patient or impatient person.
✓ Yes, but depending on the situation I can be either a patient or an impatient person.
'depending on situations' should be 'depending on the situation' (use singular noun with 'depending on' for general condition). Missing articles: 'a patient or an impatient person' requires 'a' before 'patient' and 'an' before 'impatient' because these are singular countable nouns. Also include 'an' before 'impatient' due to vowel sound.
× For example, when I do my favorite job, I can totally be a patient person.
✓ For example, when I do my favorite job, I can totally be a patient person.
No grammatical correction needed except ensure article 'my' is appropriate. Sentence is acceptable; keep as is.
× I think boring tasks which I don't enjoy make me feel impatient, like studying or working out.
✓ I think boring tasks that I don't enjoy make me feel impatient, such as studying or working out.
Use 'that' instead of 'which' for defining relative clauses in informal spoken English; 'such as' is clearer than 'like' when giving examples. This addresses clause choice and clarity (maps to Present tense issue/relative clause usage under provided list). Note: classified under Present tense issue because clause affects tense and meaning.
× I think I feel overwhelmed a little because doing something for a long time.
✓ I think I feel a little overwhelmed because I've been doing something for a long time.
Original misses a verb after 'because' and has awkward word order. Add present perfect continuous 'I've been doing' to indicate an activity lasting up to now, and move 'a little' before 'overwhelmed' for natural adverb placement.
× Doesn't mean easy job.
✓ It doesn't mean the job is easy.
Fragment lacks subject and verb. Replace with full clause 'It doesn't mean the job is easy.' Include definite article 'the' for a specific job referenced.
× Yeah, it does, because I operate my own business, so I have to control my students to study hard and obviously that is not easy to do.
✓ Yes, it does, because I run my own business, so I have to get my students to study hard, and obviously that is not easy to do.
Use 'run' instead of 'operate' for a business in this context; 'control my students to study hard' is unnatural—use 'get my students to study hard' or 'encourage my students to study hard'. Also replace 'Yeah' with 'Yes' for formal tone. Comma before 'and' improves sentence flow.
× Absolutely not. When I was a child I was really wild.
✓ Absolutely not. When I was a child, I was really wild.
Add comma after introductory clause 'When I was a child' for correct punctuation and natural pause. Tense usage is correct.
× My parents couldn't control me, so I. I did whatever I wanted.
✓ My parents couldn't control me, so I did whatever I wanted.
Remove the stray period creating a sentence fragment. Combine into one sentence; past tense 'couldn't control' and 'did' are consistent.
