Part 1

Examiner

Do you often go to the library?

Candidate

I often go to the library because I find it best place to focus on my studies. Actually, our university library is open 24/7, so I usually go there both early in the morning and late at night when there is there are no distractions.

Examiner

What do you usually do in the library?

Candidate

Umm, I usually use the library to do my homework and review what I learned in class so that I can prepare for the upcoming lessons. And I also sometimes meet classmates there to work on group projects because rivalry is quiet and has a plenty of space and resources for collaborative work.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Yes, I often went to the library when I was a child because my father used to go to the library once a week and I would go with him. I spent in the churchmen's section borrowing some picture books and stories about animals, and I was very looking forward to going there every Saturday.

Examiner

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Candidate

I don't think many children go to the library in the modern world because they can access books online anytime. For example, my cousins often read ebooks or novels on his laptops instead of visiting a physical library. So I think most children I know prefer ebooks rather than.

Part 1

Do you often go to the library?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise, correct grammar errors, and use linking words to connect ideas. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition (e.g., “there are there are”) and article errors (“the best place”).

Example: Yes, I go to the university library regularly because it helps me concentrate. For example, it is open 24/7, so I often study there early in the morning or late at night when it is quiet and free of distractions.

What do you usually do in the library?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Correct word choice and grammar (e.g., ‘because rivalry is quiet’ is incorrect; likely meant ‘the environment is quiet’). Keep sentences within five and use linking words like ‘also’ or ‘in addition’. Be specific about tasks and resources used.

Example: I usually do homework and review lecture notes to prepare for upcoming lessons. In addition, I sometimes meet classmates there to work on group projects because the library is quiet and has plenty of space and online resources for collaboration.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Fix unclear or incorrect phrases (e.g., ‘spent in the churchmen's section’, ‘very looking forward’). Keep to one clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details about memories. Use past tense consistently and correct collocations (e.g., ‘children’s section’, ‘borrow picture books’).

Example: Yes, I often went to the library as a child because my father visited every Saturday and I went along. I usually borrowed picture books from the children’s section, especially stories about animals, and I always looked forward to those visits.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Avoid overgeneralization and grammatical errors (‘his laptops’, sentence fragments). Provide balanced view and specific examples. Use linking words like ‘for example’ and ‘however’ and finish sentences fully. Correct pronouns and comparative structures.

Example: I think fewer children visit physical libraries now because many can access books online. For example, my cousins often read e-books on their laptops or tablets; however, some children still visit libraries for quiet study space and printed books.

Grammar

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I often go to the library because I find it best place to focus on my studies.

I often go to the library because I find it the best place to focus on my studies.

Missing definite article 'the' before 'best place'. Superlative adjectives (best) normally require 'the' before the noun. Add 'the' to make the phrase grammatically correct and natural.

There be issue

× Actually, our university library is open 24/7, so I usually go there both early in the morning and late at night when there is there are no distractions.

Actually, our university library is open 24/7, so I usually go there both early in the morning and late at night when there are no distractions.

Redundant and incorrect use of 'there is there are'. For plural 'distractions' use 'there are'. Remove the extra 'there is' to correct the sentence structure.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Umm, I usually use the library to do my homework and review what I learned in class so that I can prepare for the upcoming lessons.

Umm, I usually use the library to do my homework and review what I learned in class so that I can prepare for the upcoming lessons.

No correction needed for grammar based on listed types. The sentence is grammatically correct and fits the context; therefore it is left unchanged.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× And I also sometimes meet classmates there to work on group projects because rivalry is quiet and has a plenty of space and resources for collaborative work.

And I also sometimes meet classmates there to work on group projects because the library is quiet and has plenty of space and resources for collaborative work.

Several issues: 'rivalry' is the wrong word; context requires 'the library'. 'a plenty of' is incorrect—use 'plenty of' without 'a'. Also add definite article 'the' before 'library' to specify it. These corrections fix word choice and article usage.

Past tense issue

× Yes, I often went to the library when I was a child because my father used to go to the library once a week and I would go with him.

Yes, I often went to the library when I was a child because my father used to go to the library once a week and I would go with him.

This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense and matches the question about childhood habits. No change needed.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I spent in the churchmen's section borrowing some picture books and stories about animals, and I was very looking forward to going there every Saturday.

I spent time in the children's section borrowing some picture books and stories about animals, and I was very much looking forward to going there every Saturday.

Multiple problems: 'spent in' is incorrect—use 'spent time in'. 'churchmen's' is a wrong word; intended 'children's'. 'very looking forward' is incorrect; use 'very much looking forward' or 'really looked forward'. These fixes correct preposition use, word choice, and adverb placement.

Present tense issue

× I don't think many children go to the library in the modern world because they can access books online anytime.

I don't think many children go to the library in the modern world because they can access books online anytime.

Sentence is grammatically correct with present tense and matches the general statement about current habits. No change needed.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× For example, my cousins often read ebooks or novels on his laptops instead of visiting a physical library.

For example, my cousins often read ebooks or novels on their laptops instead of visiting a physical library.

Pronoun 'his' does not agree with plural noun 'cousins'. Use 'their' for plural possessive. This fixes pronoun agreement.

Sentence structure errors

× So I think most children I know prefer ebooks rather than.

So I think most children I know prefer ebooks to physical books.

Sentence ends abruptly and uses incorrect comparative structure 'prefer ... rather than' without an object. Use 'prefer A to B' or 'prefer A rather than B' with a clear object. Adding 'physical books' completes the comparison and corrects the structure.
