Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
I don't think I'm good at memorizing things and this is one of the reasons why I chose to study engineering because if you want to study medicine you have to memorize a lot of formulas, name of medicines and the human anatomy. Whereas in engineering you need to be creative.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, uh, I'm a kind of person who frequently forgets important things. For example, I was attending mock tests for IELTS in Luminance and one of my mock tests was scheduled at 11 AM on 15th, but I missed that.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
Well, I think I have to remember a lot of things in my daily life. For example, every day I have a tons of work to do and I keep track of them in my mobile phone so that I don't forget.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
Usually I keep track of important things using my mobile phone. Specifically, I use a certain application which is named Google Keep. This application is very useful to make A to do list for everyday.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be more concise and directly answer first. Use one clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting points with linking words. Avoid comparing long lists; keep vocabulary natural and accurate (e.g., "memorise" vs "memorize" consistent).
Example: Not really. I'm not strong at memorising facts, so I chose engineering rather than medicine. For example, medicine requires learning many drug names and detailed anatomy, whereas engineering focuses more on problem-solving and creativity.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Start with a clear direct answer and reduce hesitations like "uh." Give one specific example and add a brief reason or result using a linking word. Mentioning the consequence briefly improves coherence.
Example: Yes, I have. For instance, I once missed a mock IELTS test that was scheduled for 11 a.m. on the 15th because I forgot to set a reminder. As a result, I had to reschedule and felt stressed about losing a practice opportunity.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence and one or two specific examples. Use linking words like "for example" or "such as" and correct small errors ("a ton of work" not "a tons"). This will make the answer natural and precise.
Example: I need to remember daily tasks and appointments. For example, I have a ton of assignments and meetings, so I record them in my phone calendar and set alarms to stay organised.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: Good clear answer — make it slightly more fluent by combining sentences and correcting small phrasing issues (e.g., "an app called Google Keep" and "to make a to-do list"). Add a brief example of how you use it to show practical detail.
Example: I usually use my mobile phone to remember important things, specifically an app called Google Keep. For example, I create daily to-do lists and set reminders for deadlines so I don't miss appointments.
× I don't think I'm good at memorizing things and this is one of the reasons why I chose to study engineering because if you want to study medicine you have to memorize a lot of formulas, name of medicines and the human anatomy.
✓ I don't think I'm good at memorizing things, and this is one of the reasons why I chose to study engineering, because if you want to study medicine you have to memorize a lot of formulas, the names of medicines, and human anatomy.
Errors: 'name of medicines' should be plural 'the names of medicines' to match 'a lot of' (singular/plural consistency). Also 'the human anatomy' is better as 'human anatomy' without 'the'. Suggestion: Use plural forms for countable nouns and omit unnecessary articles with uncountable subjects. (Note: corrected punctuation for clarity.)
× Yes, uh, I'm a kind of person who frequently forgets important things.
✓ Yes, uh, I'm the kind of person who frequently forgets important things.
Error: 'a kind of person' is unnatural; use 'the kind of person' to indicate a specific personal trait. Suggestion: Use 'the kind of' when describing your usual behavior or category you belong to. (Grammar type: present tense phrasing and article use.)
× For example, I was attending mock tests for IELTS in Luminance and one of my mock tests was scheduled at 11 AM on 15th, but I missed that.
✓ For example, I was attending mock tests for IELTS at Luminance and one of my mock tests was scheduled for 11 AM on the 15th, but I missed it.
Errors: Use 'at Luminance' for events at a place; use 'scheduled for' when giving times; ordinal dates need 'the' before '15th'; 'missed that' should be 'missed it' referring to the test. Suggestion: Use prepositions 'at' for locations and 'for' for scheduled times, include definite article with ordinal dates, and use appropriate pronouns. (Grammar types: preposition, past tense phrasing, pronoun.)
× Well, I think I have to remember a lot of things in my daily life.
✓ Well, I think I have to remember a lot of things in my daily life.
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is correct. (Included for completeness.)
× For example, every day I have a tons of work to do and I keep track of them in my mobile phone so that I don't forget.
✓ For example, every day I have tons of work to do, and I keep track of it on my mobile phone so that I don't forget.
Errors: 'a tons of' is incorrect—'tons of' or 'a ton of' are correct forms; 'work' is uncountable so use singular pronoun 'it' not 'them'; use 'on my mobile phone' rather than 'in my mobile phone'. Suggestion: Use correct quantifier forms and match pronouns to uncountable nouns. (Grammar types: quantifier, pronoun, preposition.)
× Usually I keep track of important things using my mobile phone.
✓ Usually I keep track of important things using my mobile phone.
Sentence is grammatically correct; 'using' is correctly applied to show method. (Included for completeness.)
× Specifically, I use a certain application which is named Google Keep.
✓ Specifically, I use an application called Google Keep.
Errors: 'a certain application which is named' is wordy and slightly awkward; use 'an application called' for natural phrasing and correct article 'an' before a vowel sound. Suggestion: Use concise relative clauses and correct articles. (Grammar types: pronoun/article usage.)
× This application is very useful to make A to do list for everyday.
✓ This application is very useful for making a to-do list every day.
Errors: 'to make A to do list' has incorrect article capitalization and word order; use 'for making' rather than 'to make' in this context; 'a to-do list' needs hyphens and an article; 'everyday' is an adjective meaning ordinary — use 'every day' (adverbial) here. Suggestion: Use 'for making a to-do list every day' for natural, grammatical expression. (Grammar types: article, verb + -ing form, adjective/adverb distinction.)
