Part 1

Examiner

Do you often go to the library?

Candidate

Honestly, I don't go to library very often because I find it less practical nowadays. Most of the time I just search for topics I want to learn on Google using my phone so I don't need to travel to the library. This way I can access information quickly and conveniently wherever I am.

Examiner

What do you usually do in the library?

Candidate

Well, as far as I'm concerned, we usually read books there, research on our thesis or something that we had assignment at school. So that's the least we can do out there.

Examiner

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Candidate

Yes, of course. When I was in elementary, the our school had a library by that time because smart smartphones are not yet available. So the library is usually big and a lot of books. So our teacher encouraged us to go in the library to research our assignments. So that's the time that I went.

Examiner

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Candidate

Honestly I do not have any ideas about that but as I've seen in social media the kids are also going to the library to do research but I've seen also other way that they are already high tech technology nowadays so they choose to research.

Part 1

Do you often go to the library?

Score: 85.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve by using more varied vocabulary and linking words to make your response more coherent. For example, instead of repeating 'library' and 'search', you can use synonyms or phrases like 'visit the library' or 'look up information online'. Also, try to add a concluding sentence to wrap up your answer.

Example: Honestly, I don't visit the library very often because I find it less practical nowadays. Instead, I usually look up information on Google using my phone, which allows me to access data quickly and conveniently wherever I am. Therefore, I prefer online resources over traditional libraries.

What do you usually do in the library?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but lacks clarity and coherence. Try to start with a clear topic sentence, then use linking words to connect your ideas. Also, avoid vague phrases like 'as far as I'm concerned' and 'something that we had assignment'. Be more specific and concise.

Example: In the library, I usually read books and conduct research for my thesis or school assignments. These activities help me gather information and deepen my understanding of various subjects.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Your answer provides relevant information but contains grammatical errors and repetitive use of 'so'. Try to use linking words like 'because', 'therefore', and avoid repeating the same word at the beginning of sentences. Also, correct grammar mistakes such as 'the our school' to 'our school'.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was in elementary school, our school had a large library with many books because smartphones were not yet available. Therefore, our teacher encouraged us to visit the library to research our assignments.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat unclear and contains grammatical errors. Try to organize your ideas more logically using linking words like 'however' and 'on the other hand'. Also, avoid vague phrases like 'I do not have any ideas' and use 'I am not sure' instead. Make your sentences complete and clear.

Example: I am not sure about this, but based on what I've seen on social media, some Chinese kids still go to the library to do research. However, with the advancement of technology, many prefer to use digital devices for their studies.

Grammar

Article errors

× Honestly, I don't go to library very often because I find it less practical nowadays.

Honestly, I don't go to the library very often because I find it less practical nowadays.

The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect in this context.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Most of the time I just search for topics I want to learn on Google using my phone so I don't need to travel to the library.

Most of the time I just search for topics I want to learn on Google using my phone so I don't need to travel to the library.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Well, as far as I'm concerned, we usually read books there, research on our thesis or something that we had assignment at school.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, we usually read books there, research our thesis or something that we had an assignment on at school.

The verb 'research' is typically used without the preposition 'on' when followed directly by the object. Also, 'had assignment' is missing an article; it should be 'had an assignment'. The preposition 'on' is better placed after 'assignment' to indicate the topic.

Article errors

× So that's the least we can do out there.

So that's the least we can do out there.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.

Article errors

× Yes, of course. When I was in elementary, the our school had a library by that time because smart smartphones are not yet available.

Yes, of course. When I was in elementary school, our school had a library at that time because smartphones were not yet available.

The phrase 'the our school' is incorrect; 'our school' is sufficient. Also, 'in elementary' should be 'in elementary school' for clarity. 'By that time' is better expressed as 'at that time' to indicate a specific past period. 'Smart smartphones' is redundant; 'smartphones' is correct. 'Are not yet available' should be in past tense 'were not yet available' to match the past context.

Singular and plural issue

× So the library is usually big and a lot of books.

So the library was usually big and had a lot of books.

The sentence refers to a past time, so the verb 'is' should be 'was'. Also, 'a lot of books' needs a verb to connect it properly; adding 'had' clarifies the meaning.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So our teacher encouraged us to go in the library to research our assignments.

So our teacher encouraged us to go to the library to research our assignments.

The correct preposition to use with 'go' when indicating destination is 'to', not 'in'. 'Go to the library' is the proper phrase.

Article errors

× So that's the time that I went.

So that's the time when I went.

Adding 'when' clarifies the time reference. The original sentence is understandable but adding 'when' improves grammatical correctness.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Honestly I do not have any ideas about that but as I've seen in social media the kids are also going to the library to do research but I've seen also other way that they are already high tech technology nowadays so they choose to research.

Honestly, I do not have any idea about that, but as I've seen on social media, kids also go to the library to do research. However, I've also seen that nowadays they use high-tech technology, so they choose to research that way.

'Any ideas' should be 'any idea' in this context. 'As I've seen in social media' should be 'on social media'. The sentence is a run-on and needs to be split for clarity. 'I've seen also other way' is awkward; 'I've also seen that' is better. 'They are already high tech technology' is incorrect; it should be 'they use high-tech technology'. The phrase 'choose to research' needs clarification, so 'choose to research that way' is added.
