Part 1
Examiner
Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?
Candidate
I don't think I bring a lot of keys with me because, umm, I usually just bring one key, which is my car key, and the rest of the keys are in my house, so we have a place to hide them and yeah, that's more easy.
Examiner
Have you ever lost your keys?
Candidate
Yeah, I've lost it once back then when I was in college, I I have my apartment keys and it were it was lost, but eventually I found it. Yeah, it's such a bad experience.
Examiner
Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?
Candidate
Will I rarely lose my keys? And I've never been LO. I've never locked myself out but sometimes I do forgot where I place them. But with technologies now, searching for keys are more easier.
Examiner
Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?
Candidate
I don't think that's a good idea, even if we know our neighbor. Well, but merely trust them with our keys is not an A responsible thing to do. We have to keep them ourselves and make sure it is secure on our hand.
Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid filler words. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details and a short reason. Use linking words (for example, because/so) and correct small grammar slips (e.g., "more easy" → "easier"). Keep it to under five sentences.
Example: No, I usually only carry my car key. The other keys stay hidden at home for convenience, so I don't need to bring them out. This is easier and reduces the chance of losing them.
Have you ever lost your keys?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a clear, chronological response with correct verb forms and fewer repetitions. Start with a topic sentence stating whether you lost keys, then briefly tell when, what happened, and how it ended. Use linking words (for example, then/eventually) and avoid repetition like "I I".
Example: Yes, I lost my apartment keys once when I was in college. I misplaced them while returning from class and couldn't find them for a few hours, but eventually I located them in my backpack. It was a stressful experience.
Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar and phrasing. Begin with a clear negative or positive statement, then add one specific detail and a linked reason or example. Fix tense errors and phrasing like "do forgot" → "do forget" and "more easier" → "easier."
Example: No, I rarely forget my keys and I've never locked myself out. Sometimes I forget where I placed them, but modern solutions like Bluetooth key finders make locating them much easier.
Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Provide a concise opinion with a brief reason and, if possible, an alternative. Correct articles and phrasing (e.g., "an A responsible" → "a responsible"). Use linking words like "because" and keep the response to two or three sentences.
Example: No, I don't think it's a good idea to leave keys with a neighbour because it can be a security risk. Instead, I prefer using a secure lockbox or a trusted locksmith service if I need someone to access my home.
× I don't think I bring a lot of keys with me because, umm, I usually just bring one key, which is my car key, and the rest of the keys are in my house, so we have a place to hide them and yeah, that's more easy.
✓ I don't think I bring a lot of keys with me because I usually just bring one key, which is my car key, and the rest of the keys are in my house, so we have a place to hide them and yeah, that's easier.
The phrase 'more easy' is incorrect; 'easy' is a one-syllable adjective that forms the comparative as 'easier.' Use 'easier' to compare convenience. Also removed filler words and tightened punctuation for clarity.
× Yeah, I've lost it once back then when I was in college, I I have my apartment keys and it were it was lost, but eventually I found it. Yeah, it's such a bad experience.
✓ Yeah, I lost them once back when I was in college; I had my apartment keys and they were lost, but eventually I found them. Yeah, it was a bad experience.
Mixed and incorrect verb forms: 'I've lost it once back then' conflicts with time expression 'back then' which requires simple past. Use simple past 'I lost' and past perfect/simple past consistency: 'I had my apartment keys' and plural pronoun agreement 'they/them.' Removed duplicated words and fixed pronoun-verb agreement.
× Will I rarely lose my keys? And I've never been LO. I've never locked myself out but sometimes I do forgot where I place them.
✓ I rarely lose my keys. I've never been locked out; I've never locked myself out, but sometimes I do forget where I placed them.
'Will I rarely lose' is an incorrect use of future modal for a habitual statement; use simple present 'I rarely lose.' 'I do forgot' mixes auxiliary 'do' with past 'forgot'—use 'do forget' for present tense or 'forgot' for past. 'Where I place them' should be past 'placed' to match 'sometimes' when referring to past occasional events. Also expanded 'LO' to 'locked out.'
× But with technologies now, searching for keys are more easier.
✓ But with technology now, searching for keys is easier.
Use 'technology' (uncountable) rather than plural 'technologies' in this general context. Subject-verb agreement: 'searching for keys' is singular gerund phrase so use 'is' not 'are.' Also 'more easier' is redundant; use 'easier.'
× I don't think that's a good idea, even if we know our neighbor. Well, but merely trust them with our keys is not an A responsible thing to do.
✓ I don't think that's a good idea, even if we know our neighbor. Simply trusting them with our keys is not a responsible thing to do.
'Merely trust them with our keys' lacks a proper gerund/noun form; use 'trusting.' 'A responsible' is incorrect word order; use 'a responsible thing' or just 'responsible.' Also replaced 'merely' with 'simply' for naturalness and fixed pronoun consistency.
× We have to keep them ourselves and make sure it is secure on our hand.
✓ We have to keep them ourselves and make sure they are secure in our hands.
Pronoun and agreement errors: 'it' does not agree with plural 'keys'—use 'they.' 'Secure on our hand' is unnatural and singular; use plural 'in our hands' or 'on our person.' Ensured plural agreement and natural preposition choice.
