Part 1
Examiner
Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?
Candidate
No, I only take a few keys with me when I go out, usually my motorbike key, my house key and a water key. I always carry them because I need quick access to transport and to my home. I don't want to risk getting locked out.
Examiner
Have you ever lost your keys?
Candidate
Yes, I have lost my keys many times, especially my motorbike keys. I often misplace them around the house because I leave them in different places and forget where I put them. So now I keep a sparky as a backup.
Examiner
Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?
Candidate
Yes, that has happened to me two or three times. I remember once I locked the door and then realized that I didn't bring any kids with me so I had to call my friend to come back and help me go inside. It was quite annoying and since then I always check my pockets before I go out.
Examiner
Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?
Candidate
Yes, it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbor who is reliable to you. For example, when you carelessly leave your keys inside the house and get yourself locked out, it can be helpful in addition, in case of you need someone to water your plants, pet fit your pets or collect deliveries when you're away for several days.
Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Be more natural and precise: correct wrong word choices (e.g., 'water key' unclear), avoid repetition, and use one clear topic sentence with a linked supporting detail. Keep answers concise (max 4–5 sentences).
Example: Not really. I usually carry only a few keys: my motorbike key, my house key and a small key for a locker. I always keep them together so I have quick access to transport and my home, and to avoid the risk of being locked out.
Have you ever lost your keys?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Clarify vocabulary errors (e.g., 'sparky' wrong) and be specific about frequency and measures taken. Use linking words to connect reason and result. Limit to a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting details.
Example: Yes, I have, particularly my motorbike keys. I used to leave them in different rooms and forget where I put them, so now I keep a spare key in a fixed place and give another spare to a trusted friend.
Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Correct word choice errors (e.g., 'kids' should be 'keys') and make the anecdote concise. Use a topic sentence then one linked example and an outcome. This improves clarity and coherence.
Example: Yes, it has happened two or three times. Once I locked the door and realized I had left my keys inside, so I called a friend to let me in; since then I always check my pockets before leaving the house.
Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Use clearer, more natural phrasing and avoid awkward words (e.g., 'pet fit your pets'). Give specific conditions when this is appropriate and mention trust and convenience. Keep it concise and logically connected.
Example: Yes, I think it's a good idea if the neighbour is trustworthy. They can let you in if you get locked out and also help by watering plants, feeding pets or collecting parcels while you're away.
× I only take a few keys with me when I go out, usually my motorbike key, my house key and a water key.
✓ I only take a few keys with me when I go out, usually my motorbike key, my house key, and a water tap key.
The phrase 'a water key' is unclear and likely incorrect; 'water tap key' or 'meter key' is more precise. This is a word choice problem rather than grammar; mapped to ID 13 per the provided list. Suggest using the specific term for the key type to avoid confusion.
× I always carry them because I need quick access to transport and to my home.
✓ I always carry them because I need quick access to transport and to my home.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Included here to indicate no error of the listed types.
× I don't want to risk getting locked out.
✓ I don't want to risk getting locked out.
Sentence is correct; pronoun use is fine. Included to show no correction required per list.
× Yes, I have lost my keys many times, especially my motorbike keys.
✓ Yes, I have lost my keys many times, especially my motorbike keys.
This sentence correctly uses the present perfect to describe life experience/repeated past events that have relevance now. No correction needed.
× I often misplace them around the house because I leave them in different places and forget where I put them.
✓ I often misplace them around the house because I leave them in different places and forget where I put them.
This sentence is grammatically correct; the verb forms are appropriate for present habitual actions. No correction needed.
× So now I keep a sparky as a backup.
✓ So now I keep a spare key as a backup.
The word 'sparky' is incorrect here. The intended phrase is 'spare key'. This is a vocabulary error; replace with 'spare key' to convey the correct meaning.
× Yes, that has happened to me two or three times.
✓ Yes, that has happened to me two or three times.
Grammatically correct; 'has happened' properly uses present perfect for experiences. No change needed.
× I remember once I locked the door and then realized that I didn't bring any kids with me so I had to call my friend to come back and help me go inside.
✓ I remember once I locked the door and then realized that I hadn't brought any keys with me, so I had to call my friend to come back and help me get inside.
Multiple errors: 'didn't bring any kids' is a wrong word choice; should be 'hadn't brought any keys' because the past perfect ('hadn't brought') is appropriate to show the earlier action relative to 'realized'. Also 'help me go inside' is awkward; use 'help me get inside'. This matches IDs 5 (Past tense issue) and 12 (Incorrect use of pronouns/word choice); primary correction mapped to ID 5.
× It was quite annoying and since then I always check my pockets before I go out.
✓ It was quite annoying, and since then I have always checked my pockets before I go out.
When referring to a change that started in the past and continues to the present, use present perfect ('have always checked') rather than simple present 'always check' after 'since then'. Alternatively, 'and since then I always check' is acceptable in conversational English, but present perfect is more grammatically precise. Mapped to ID 6 (Present tense issue).
× Yes, it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbor who is reliable to you.
✓ Yes, it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbor who is reliable.
The phrase 'reliable to you' is awkward. 'Reliable' alone or 'reliable for you' is better; typically we say 'a reliable neighbor'. This is a word-choice/phrase structure issue mapped to ID 13.
× For example, when you carelessly leave your keys inside the house and get yourself locked out, it can be helpful in addition, in case of you need someone to water your plants, pet fit your pets or collect deliveries when you're away for several days.
✓ For example, if you carelessly leave your keys inside the house and get locked out, it can be helpful to leave them with a neighbor in case you need someone to water your plants, feed your pets, or collect deliveries when you're away for several days.
This sentence has several problems: awkward conjunctions ('in addition, in case of you'), wrong verb 'pet fit' instead of 'feed', and poor sentence structure. Corrections: use 'if' or 'when' consistently, remove 'in addition', use 'in case you need', and correct 'pet fit your pets' to 'feed your pets'. This maps to ID 26 for sentence structure and ID 13 for word choice; primary mapping to ID 26.
