Part 1
Examiner
Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidate
Yes, I prefer listing before going to shop because, uh, it's uh, more easier to remember things because, uh, we go to shop once or twice in a week. So whenever, uh, one or two item forgotten, it's really hard to cover it up or going, uh, going back to the shop again.
Examiner
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Candidate
Yes, uh, listing in work really works because, uh, in workplace, uh, there are immense pressure for, uh, doing working time. So whenever you make a list, you can consider, uh, yourself or you can, uh, train your brand to do that list, uh, as per your guideline.
Examiner
Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidate
It's because some people may find it a more hassle and one more work to do so they prefer not listing. Or maybe they bring our own sharper than us. I think so they do not like listing, but I prefer listing.
Examiner
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidate
You know, this is a decade of technology so I prefer to update myself more gig style. So I think it's more convenient to list in your phone rather than papers because paper can easily be lost but phone stays with us all the time.
Do you make a list when you shop?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and 'um' to make your answer sound more natural and fluent. Also, use clearer sentence structures and linking words to connect your ideas logically. For example, start with a clear topic sentence, then explain why you make a list, and finish with a supporting detail.
Example: Yes, I always make a list before shopping because it helps me remember everything I need. Since I shop only once or twice a week, forgetting items means I have to return to the store, which is inconvenient. Therefore, making a list saves me time and effort.
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Focus on clarity and coherence by reducing filler words and organizing your answer with linking words. Explain clearly how making lists helps you at work with specific reasons. Avoid vague phrases like 'train your brand' which may confuse the listener.
Example: Yes, making lists at work is very effective because the workplace is often stressful and busy. By creating a list, I can prioritize my tasks and follow a clear plan, which helps me manage my time better and meet deadlines.

Score: 50.0Suggestion: Try to express your ideas more clearly and avoid unclear phrases like 'bring our own sharper than us.' Use linking words to connect your points logically and provide specific reasons why some people dislike making lists.
Example: Some people dislike making lists because they find it time-consuming and an extra task. Additionally, they may prefer to rely on their memory or personal methods instead of writing things down. However, I personally find lists very helpful.
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Avoid informal or unclear expressions like 'update myself more gig style.' Use clear and natural language to explain your preference. Also, use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

× it's uh, more easier to remember things
✓ it's uh, easier to remember things
The word 'easier' is already a comparative adjective, so adding 'more' before it is redundant and incorrect. Use either 'easier' or 'more easy' (though 'easier' is preferred).
× one or two item forgotten
✓ one or two items forgotten
When referring to more than one item, the plural form 'items' should be used instead of the singular 'item'.
× going back to the shop again
✓ going back to the shop
The word 'again' is redundant when used with 'going back' because 'going back' already implies repetition. Removing 'again' makes the sentence clearer and more concise.
× listing in work really works
✓ listing at work really works
The correct preposition to indicate location or context in this case is 'at' rather than 'in'. 'At work' is the standard expression.
× you can consider, uh, yourself or you can, uh, train your brand to do that list
✓ you can consider, uh, yourself or you can, uh, train your team to do that list
The word 'brand' is incorrect here; likely the intended word is 'team' or 'staff'. 'Brand' refers to a company's identity, not people who perform tasks.
× as per your guideline
✓ according to your guideline
The phrase 'as per' is often considered informal or redundant. 'According to' is more appropriate and formal in this context.
× some people may find it a more hassle
✓ some people may find it more of a hassle
The phrase 'more hassle' needs the article 'a' and the preposition 'of' to be grammatically correct: 'more of a hassle'.
× they prefer not listing
✓ they prefer not to list
After 'prefer', the correct form is the infinitive 'to list', not the gerund 'listing'.
× Or maybe they bring our own sharper than us
✓ Or maybe they bring their own sharper than us
The pronoun 'our' is incorrect here; it should be 'their' to refer to 'some people'. Also, the phrase 'sharper than us' is unclear and likely incorrect in context, but the main pronoun error is corrected here.
× I prefer to update myself more gig style
✓ I prefer to update myself in a more gig style
The phrase needs the preposition 'in' and the article 'a' to be grammatically correct: 'in a more gig style'.
× to list in your phone rather than papers
✓ to list on your phone rather than on paper
The correct preposition for devices like phones is 'on', and 'paper' is uncountable here, so 'on paper' is correct rather than 'in your phone' or 'in papers'.
