Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at remembering numbers?
Candidate
No, I wouldn't consider myself a good at remembering numbers. And because most of the time I forget numbers and to remember them I use digital tools, for example my smartphone. I keep all the numbers, all the important phone numbers in my phone and other important data.
Examiner
Will you use numbers in your future work?
Candidate
Yes, definitely. Since I am an economics teacher, statistics is a crucial part of my subject. I need them to uh analyze data and to explain crucial concepts uh to them. For example, to study about growth, the students have to calculate nationally.
Examiner
Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
Candidate
No, I did not enjoy studying maths as a child because I found it, uh, very challenging, uh, to deal with numbers and calculations. Uh. However, I like the geometry part of the maths, uh, where I have to learn about the different types of shapes and their measurements.
Examiner

The numbers that are important to me are the dates of the special events of my loved ones, like the anniversary of my parents and the birthday of my parents and siblings.

× No, I wouldn't consider myself a good at remembering numbers.
✓ No, I wouldn't consider myself good at remembering numbers.
The article 'a' is incorrectly used before the adjective 'good'. In English, 'good' as an adjective does not require an article when used predicatively. The correct form is 'consider myself good at...'. Removing 'a' corrects the sentence.
× I need them to uh analyze data and to explain crucial concepts uh to them.
✓ I need them to uh analyze data and to explain crucial concepts to them.
The preposition 'to' before 'explain' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The verb 'explain' is directly followed by the object 'crucial concepts' and then the indirect object 'to them'. Removing the extra 'to' before 'explain' corrects the sentence.
