Part 1
Examiner
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Candidate
Yes, there are many rules for students at my school, for example about wearing uniform or doing homework or go to school on times. For example, a student goes to school late, her points will be loose.
Examiner
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Candidate
Yes, I think students very benefit from rules because, uh, they help students to stay on time and help them to be more hardworking in doing homework maybe.
Examiner
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Candidate
Yes, I have had a really dedicated teacher. She is my literature teacher in grade 9. She teach me a lot of language and also skills for my life and she always ask me about my understood when.
Examiner
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Candidate
I don't think I prefer to have more roles at school because, as you know, I'm very lazy and I don't want to do my homework and I like to wear what I want. I don't like to wear uniform, so I prefer fewer roles at school.
Examiner
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Candidate
Yes I have he is my math teacher in grade 8 and he always asked me to do this or to do that by in the exactly way and he don't allow me to go outside to play.
Examiner
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Candidate
No, I don't want to work as a teacher in a row for school because their students may be very annoying. I would like to work in a environment that it can meet the demand for some basic rules like the safety or the uniform or the deadlines of homework maybe.
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cải thiện ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt để tự nhiên hơn; dùng cấu trúc câu rõ ràng (một câu chủ đề + 1-2 câu hỗ trợ), sửa lỗi động từ/giới từ và từ vựng sai (ví dụ: “go to school on time”, “points will be lost” hoặc “receive a penalty”). Ngoài ra, tránh lặp từ và dùng liên từ để mạch lạc (e.g., “for example”, “such as”, “if”).
Example: Yes, there are several rules at my school. For example, students must wear a uniform and complete homework on time. If a student arrives late, they usually receive a penalty or lose marks for attendance.
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Làm câu trả lời rõ ràng, mạch lạc; tránh từ đệm (“uh”, “maybe”) và dùng từ vựng chính xác (e.g., “benefit from rules” → “benefit from having rules”). Thêm lý do cụ thể và một ví dụ ngắn dùng liên từ (e.g., “because”, “for example”, “therefore”). Giữ tối đa 3-4 câu.
Example: Yes, I believe students benefit from having clear rules because they promote punctuality and discipline. For example, deadlines for homework encourage students to organise their time better, which improves learning outcomes.
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Sửa ngữ pháp (thì, chia động từ) và dùng từ chính xác; tổ chức ý: câu chủ đề + 1-2 chi tiết cụ thể. Tránh dùng cụm mơ hồ (“skills for my life”) — nêu ví dụ cụ thể (e.g., “critical thinking”, “essay writing”). Hoàn thiện mệnh đề cuối cùng thành câu rõ ràng (“she always asked if I understood”).
Example: Yes, I had a very dedicated literature teacher in grade nine. She taught me important skills like critical thinking and essay writing. She always checked that I understood the lessons and gave extra help when I struggled.
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Tránh lỗi từ vựng (roles → rules) và phát ngôn quá cá nhân tiêu cực; trình bày quan điểm lịch sự, có lý do rõ ràng và một ví dụ. Giữ câu ngắn gọn, sử dụng liên từ để mạch lạc. Không cần nói “as you know” hoặc tự chỉ trích quá mức.
Example: I prefer fewer rules at school because I value personal freedom, such as choosing what to wear. However, I still think some basic rules, like safety regulations and homework deadlines, are necessary.
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Cải thiện ngữ pháp (dấu câu, chia động từ, cấu trúc “he asked us to do things in an exact way”) và đưa thêm chi tiết cụ thể về hành vi của giáo viên. Dùng liên từ để nối ý và tránh cấu trúc lộn xộn. Sử dụng từ vựng phù hợp như “strict”, “disciplined”, “didn't allow”.
Example: Yes, I had a strict math teacher in grade eight. He insisted that we follow procedures exactly and often required us to complete extra exercises. He also did not allow us to go out for breaks during lessons.
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Sửa lỗi chính tả và ngữ pháp (“row” → “rule-free”, “their” → “the”, “in a environment” → “in an environment”); trình bày rõ quan điểm với lý do hợp lý. Nêu cụ thể những quy tắc cần thiết (safety, deadlines) và kết luận ngắn gọn. Tránh từ rườm rà như “maybe”.
Example: No, I wouldn't want to teach in a rule-free school because lack of rules can lead to chaos. I would prefer a school with basic rules for safety, dress code and homework deadlines to maintain a productive learning environment.
× Yes, there are many rules for students at my school, for example about wearing uniform or doing homework or go to school on times.
✓ Yes, there are many rules for students at my school, for example about wearing uniforms, doing homework, or going to school on time.
The nouns and verb forms are incorrect: 'uniform' should be plural 'uniforms' when speaking generally; 'go to school on times' is incorrect — use the gerund 'going' after listing parallel activities and the phrase 'on time' (not 'times'). Suggestion: keep parallel structure in lists and use appropriate plural forms and fixed expressions.
× For example, a student goes to school late, her points will be loose.
✓ For example, if a student goes to school late, her points will be lost.
The conditional needs 'if' to introduce the condition; 'loose' is the wrong adjective — use past participle 'lost' to describe points being taken away. Also ensure conditional structure: 'If a student goes... her points will be lost.' Suggestion: use 'if' for real conditions and choose correct adjectives/verbs.
× Yes, I think students very benefit from rules because, uh, they help students to stay on time and help them to be more hardworking in doing homework maybe.
✓ Yes, I think students greatly benefit from rules because they help students stay on time and make them work harder on their homework.
'Very benefit' is ungrammatical; use adverb 'greatly' or 'benefit from' without 'very'. 'Help students to stay' can be 'help students stay' (omit 'to' after 'help'); 'more hardworking in doing homework' is awkward — use 'work harder on their homework'. Suggestion: use appropriate adverbs and simpler verb patterns after 'help'.
× She is my literature teacher in grade 9. She teach me a lot of language and also skills for my life and she always ask me about my understood when.
✓ She was my literature teacher in grade 9. She taught me a lot about language and life skills, and she always asked me if I understood.
Tense inconsistency: speaker refers to a past teacher, so use past tense 'was', 'taught', 'asked'. 'A lot of language' should be 'a lot about language' and 'skills for my life' -> 'life skills'. 'Ask me about my understood when' is incorrect — use 'asked me if I understood' or 'asked whether I understood'. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense when describing a former teacher and use correct collocations.
× I don't think I prefer to have more roles at school because, as you know, I'm very lazy and I don't want to do my homework and I like to wear what I want.
✓ I don't think I would prefer to have more rules at school because, as you know, I'm quite lazy: I don't want to do my homework and I like to wear what I want.
Word choice errors: 'roles' should be 'rules'. Modal phrasing 'I don't think I prefer' is odd — 'I would prefer' or 'I don't think I would prefer' is better. 'Very lazy' is acceptable but 'quite lazy' is more natural in this context. Suggestion: choose correct nouns and more natural modal constructions.
× I don't like to wear uniform, so I prefer fewer roles at school.
✓ I don't like to wear a uniform, so I prefer fewer rules at school.
Again 'uniform' needs an article when singular: 'a uniform' or use plural 'uniforms'. 'Roles' should be 'rules'. Also 'fewer' is correct with countable 'rules'. Suggestion: use correct articles with singular countable nouns and correct words.
× Yes I have he is my math teacher in grade 8 and he always asked me to do this or to do that by in the exactly way and he don't allow me to go outside to play.
✓ Yes, I have; he was my math teacher in grade 8, and he always asked me to do things in the exact way and did not allow me to go outside to play.
Multiple issues: tense inconsistency (use past 'was', 'asked', 'did not allow' to describe a former teacher), run-on sentence and pronoun confusion ('I have he' is incorrect). 'By in the exactly way' is ungrammatical — use 'in the exact way'. 'Don't' should be 'did not' for past. Suggestion: break into clear clauses, maintain past tense, and use correct adverb order.
× No, I don't want to work as a teacher in a row for school because their students may be very annoying.
✓ No, I don't want to work as a teacher in a row-free school because the students there may be very annoying.
'In a row for school' is wrong; likely intended 'in a rule-free school' or 'a school with no rules'. 'Their students' is incorrect reference — use 'the students there' or 'its students'. Suggestion: use correct prepositional phrases and clear referents.
× I would like to work in a environment that it can meet the demand for some basic rules like the safety or the uniform or the deadlines of homework maybe.
✓ I would like to work in an environment that can meet the demands for some basic rules like safety, uniforms, or homework deadlines.
'A environment' should be 'an environment' (article + vowel sound). The relative clause 'that it can' is ungrammatical — use 'that can'. 'The demand' should be plural 'demands' and items should be parallel and uncounted nouns: 'safety', 'uniforms', 'homework deadlines'. Remove 'maybe' or place appropriately. Suggestion: use correct article, avoid redundant pronoun in relative clauses, and make list items parallel.
