Part 1

Examiner

Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?

Candidate

No I don't because there are no lots of logs I need to open in my daily life. My house have fingerprints locks so I do not need to bring a key when I going outside.

Examiner

Have you ever lost your keys?

Candidate

Well, never. I never lost a key because one of the reason is I seldom use a key in my daily life. Another reason is that I'm very organized. I always check for my important items such as purse and phones before I go out.

Examiner

Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?

Candidate

No, I didn't because I hardly use a key. However, I once locked myself out because I forgot my room card. You know, I live in a dormitory. Last year we use a room card inside of keys. So I need to ask teacher to open my room.

Examiner

Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?

Candidate

Absolutely no, because I don't know my neighbor well and I don't trust them. Another reason is that I think they might be irresponsible, so it might cause security problems.

Part 1

Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?

Score: 63.0

Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and clarity: use correct plural/singular forms and common expressions, and make the answer more concise and natural. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one brief detail linked with a connector. Avoid repetitions and correct verb forms (e.g., 'there aren't many locks', 'my house has a fingerprint lock', 'when I go out').

Example: No, I don't. I don't carry many keys because there aren't many locks I need to open every day. Also, my house has a fingerprint lock, so I usually leave my keys at home when I go out.

Have you ever lost your keys?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Work on fluency and natural phrasing, and correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'one of the reasons', 'purse and phone' or 'my phone'). Start with a direct answer, then support with two brief reasons linked by connectors like 'because' and 'also'.

Example: No, I've never lost my keys. One reason is that I rarely use keys in daily life, and another is that I'm quite organized; I always check for important items such as my purse and phone before leaving the house.

Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Use consistent tense and clearer sequencing words. Start with a present-tense general statement, then briefly recount the past incident with correct past tense and connectives ('however', 'once'). Fix grammar ('we used', 'instead of keys', 'had to ask a teacher').

Example: No, I don't usually. However, once I did lock myself out because I forgot my dorm room card. Last year we used a card system instead of keys, so I had to ask a teacher to open my room for me.

Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Soften absolute language and add a brief explanation with linking words. Use natural phrasing ('I wouldn't', 'I don't know my neighbours well') and provide a short example or consequence to support your opinion.

Example: I wouldn't recommend it. I don't know my neighbours well, so I wouldn't trust them with my keys; doing so could cause security problems if they were careless or if someone else gained access.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× No I don't because there are no lots of logs I need to open in my daily life.

No, I don't because there aren't a lot of locks I need to open in my daily life.

The sentence uses 'lots of logs' which is incorrect word choice and number agreement. 'Lots of' is informal and should be followed by plural noun; 'logs' is wrong word for keys/locks. Use 'a lot of locks' or 'many locks'. Also 'there are no' is awkward with 'a lot of' negative; 'there aren't a lot of' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'there aren't many locks' for clarity.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× My house have fingerprints locks so I do not need to bring a key when I going outside.

My house has fingerprint locks so I do not need to bring a key when I go outside.

Subject-verb agreement: 'My house' (singular) requires 'has' not 'have'. 'Fingerprints locks' is incorrect noun form; use compound adjective 'fingerprint locks' or 'fingerprint-activated locks'. Tense/form: 'when I going' needs base verb 'go' after auxiliary 'do not need to' or simply 'when I go outside'.

Present tense issue

× Well, never. I never lost a key because one of the reason is I seldom use a key in my daily life.

Well, never. I have never lost a key because one of the reasons is that I seldom use a key in my daily life.

Use present perfect 'have never lost' for life experience up to now. 'One of the reason' should be plural 'one of the reasons'. Also include 'that' after 'is' for clarity. Suggestion: 'I have never lost a key because one reason is that I seldom use keys in my daily life.'

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Another reason is that I'm very organized.

Another reason is that I'm very organized.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no pronoun error. Included here only to indicate no change needed.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I always check for my important items such as purse and phones before I go out.

I always check for my important items, such as my purse and my phone, before I go out.

Count nouns need articles or possessive determiners: 'purse' and 'phones' should be 'my purse and my phone' (singular 'phone' fits context). Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: be consistent with singular/plural and include possessive adjectives.

Past tense issue

× No, I didn't because I hardly use a key.

No, I don't, because I hardly use a key.

Question asked in present tense 'Do you often forget...?' so use present tense answer 'I don't'. 'I didn't' is past tense and mismatches. Keep tense consistent with the question.

Past tense issue

× However, I once locked myself out because I forgot my room card.

However, I once locked myself out because I had forgotten my room card.

Both simple past and past perfect can be correct; using past perfect 'had forgotten' clarifies that forgetting happened before being locked out. Suggestion: use past perfect for clarity when relating two past events.

Present tense issue

× You know, I live in a dormitory.

You know, I live in a dormitory.

Sentence is correct in present tense; no change needed.

Incorrect use of tense (Present/Past)

× Last year we use a room card inside of keys.

Last year we used a room card instead of keys.

'Last year' requires past tense 'used' not 'use'. 'Inside of keys' is incorrect phrase; use 'instead of keys' to show replacement. Suggestion: pair time markers with past tense and use correct prepositional phrase.

Modal verb usage

× So I need to ask teacher to open my room.

So I had to ask the teacher to open my room.

Context is past event ('Last year...'), so modal should be past 'had to'. Also include definite article 'the teacher'. Suggestion: match modal tense to time frame and include articles.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Absolutely no, because I don't know my neighbor well and I don't trust them.

Absolutely not, because I don't know my neighbor well and I don't trust him/her.

Use 'not' instead of 'no' to answer a yes/no question. Pronoun 'them' is plural; 'my neighbor' is singular, so use 'him or her' or rephrase to 'I don't trust my neighbors' if plural. Suggestion: choose singular pronoun or make subject plural.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Another reason is that I think they might be irresponsible, so it might cause security problems.

Another reason is that I think they might be irresponsible, so that could cause security problems.

'It might cause' is vague; 'that could cause' refers back to leaving keys with neighbor. Also 'they' mismatch if neighbor singular; ensure pronoun agreement. Use 'could' or 'might' consistently. Suggestion: maintain pronoun agreement and clear reference.
