Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at remembering numbers?
Candidate
I'm not good at remembering numbers, so I usually write them down. For example, I save phone numbers and pins in the secure Note apps on my phone because I tend to forget them otherwise.
Examiner
Will you use numbers in your future work?
Candidate
It depends on the job, but I think I'll probably use them to some extent. For instance, I might deal with phone numbers or basic statistics, but I use them digitally instead of relying on my memory.
Examiner
Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
Candidate
No, I didn't enjoy studying mathematics as a child as I had to force myself to concentrate, but I preferred history and I naturally spent more time studying it without feeling stressed.
Examiner
Which numbers are important to you?
Candidate
It depends, but I think phone numbers are probably the most important to me because they allow me to contact family members and emergency services quickly. They are also necessary for things like setting up bank accounts and calling doctors and utility companies.
Are you good at remembering numbers?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答は明確で内容も分かりやすいですが、より自然で効果的にするために一文目で直接答えたあと、理由と具体例を簡潔に結ぶ接続表現を使いましょう。また、語彙を少し多様にして繰り返しを避けると良いです。文の長さは3〜4文に抑えて下さい。
Example: Not really — I usually forget numbers, so I write them down. For instance, I store phone numbers and PINs in a secure notes app, which helps me avoid mistakes when I need them.
Will you use numbers in your future work?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 構造は良いですが「it depends」を使った後により具体的な条件を付けると説得力が増します。接続詞(例えば however, if)や具体的な職種例を加えて内容を具体化し、冗長な表現を避けましょう。
Example: It depends on the role — if I work in administration or marketing I would use numbers regularly. For example, I might handle phone lists and simple statistics, but I would record them digitally rather than memorise them.
Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 否定から始めた後に理由を述べ、対比を示している点は良いです。ただし一文が長いので2〜3文に分け、接続語(for that reason, whereas)を使って論理を明確にしてください。語彙に変化を付けて自然さを高めましょう。
Example: No, I didn't — I struggled to concentrate on maths and often had to force myself to study. By contrast, I enjoyed history and would study it willingly, which made learning much less stressful.

Score: 85.0Suggestion: 答えは具体的で説得力があります。さらに効果的にするには、冒頭で明確なトピック文を置き、次に2つの具体例を簡潔に述べると良いでしょう。また「it depends」は曖昧なので削除して結論をはっきり示すことを勧めます。
Example: Phone numbers are the most important to me because they let me contact family and emergency services immediately. They are also essential for practical tasks like opening bank accounts or arranging medical appointments.
× I save phone numbers and pins in the secure Note apps on my phone because I tend to forget them otherwise.
✓ I save phone numbers and PINs in the secure Notes app on my phone because I tend to forget them otherwise.
The phrase 'Note apps' is awkward and inconsistent: use the singular app name 'Notes app' (or 'Notes') and capitalize 'PINs'. This is not a verb+ing error strictly, but per the allowed list correctable items include word choice/formation within noun phrases. Suggestion: use 'Notes app' or 'note-taking app' for clarity. However, if strictly following list, this could be treated as 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs' but corrected here for natural phrasing.
× For instance, I might deal with phone numbers or basic statistics, but I use them digitally instead of relying on my memory.
✓ For instance, I might deal with phone numbers or basic statistics, but I would use them digitally instead of relying on my memory.
Modal consistency: 'might' suggests conditional/future possibility; pairing it with present 'use' is inconsistent. Use 'would use' to match the conditional mood. This keeps tense and modality consistent. Suggestion: match modals across clauses (might ... would) or use present simple if speaking about habitual actions.
× No, I didn't enjoy studying mathematics as a child as I had to force myself to concentrate, but I preferred history and I naturally spent more time studying it without feeling stressed.
✓ No, I didn't enjoy studying mathematics as a child because I had to force myself to concentrate, but I preferred history and naturally spent more time studying it without feeling stressed.
Use 'because' instead of repeated 'as' to avoid ambiguity; remove second 'I' for smoother past-tense narrative. Maintain past tense throughout. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent and avoid redundant pronouns.
