Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at remembering numbers?
Candidate
No, actually I'm not good at remembering numbers. I always have to write everything down to remember it later. That's why I always keep my phone with me and I use uh, Notion as a notepad to track things down.
Examiner
Will you use numbers in your future work?
Candidate
No, I'm not sure how to use numbers in my work. If I have to use numbers, I just use a calculator or a spreadsheet so I don't need to focus on that.
Examiner
Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
Candidate
Oh yes, I quite enjoyed studying math as a child, uh, because it was easy for me. And when you're good at something, uh, it's quite, uh, pleasurable to, uh, to do it.
Examiner
Which numbers are important to you?
Candidate
Uh, my age is very important to me. Also my old telephone number from the times when I was a child is important to me because I use it as a password and, uh. Yeah.
Are you good at remembering numbers?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid filler words (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific example and a linking phrase. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., 'I struggle to remember numbers' instead of 'I'm not good').
Example: I struggle to remember numbers, so I usually write them down. For example, I keep my phone with me and use Notion as a digital notepad to store phone numbers and appointments.
Will you use numbers in your future work?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Answer directly and add a brief reason with a linking word. Replace vague phrases like 'I'm not sure' with a clear prediction and avoid repetition. Mention a specific scenario to make it concrete.
Example: Probably not many; my future role will be mainly creative, so I won't handle complex calculations. If I ever need to, however, I would use a spreadsheet or calculator to ensure accuracy.
Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Keep the answer natural but remove filler words and repeat ideas. Give one supporting detail or short example (a topic you liked, a teacher or activity) and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Which numbers are important to you?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and give two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid trailing off and filler sounds. Explain briefly why each number matters to make the answer more informative.
Example: My age is important because it marks life stages and eligibility for things like exams. Also, my old childhood phone number is meaningful to me and I use it as a memorable password for some accounts.
× No, actually I'm not good at remembering numbers.
✓ No, actually I'm not good at remembering numbers.
This sentence is already correct. 'I'm' (I am) correctly refers to the speaker. No pronoun error exists. Suggestion: none needed.
× I always have to write everything down to remember it later.
✓ I always have to write everything down to remember it later.
This sentence is correct. The verb forms 'have to write' and 'to remember' are appropriate. No change required.
× That's why I always keep my phone with me and I use uh, Notion as a notepad to track things down.
✓ That's why I always keep my phone with me and I use Notion as a notepad to track things down.
Remove the filler 'uh' for clarity. No article error for 'Notion' or 'a notepad'. The sentence is grammatically fine; suggestion: avoid fillers in formal speaking.
× Will you use numbers in your future work?
✓ Will you use numbers in your future work?
The question is correct in forming future tense with 'will'. No correction needed.
× No, I'm not sure how to use numbers in my work.
✓ No, I'm not sure how I will use numbers in my work.
Original mixes present 'I'm not sure how to use numbers in my work' which can be natural, but when referring to future work 'how I will use' is clearer and matches the future context. Suggestion: use 'how I will use numbers' to refer explicitly to future usage.
× If I have to use numbers, I just use a calculator or a spreadsheet so I don't need to focus on that.
✓ If I have to use numbers, I just use a calculator or a spreadsheet so I don't need to focus on them.
Pronoun reference: 'that' refers to plural 'numbers' but is singular; use 'them' to match plural noun. This falls under incorrect use of pronouns (ID 12) and also quantifier/pronoun agreement. Suggestion: replace 'that' with 'them' for correct agreement.
× Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
✓ Did you enjoy studying math as a child?
Question is correctly formed in past tense. No correction needed.
× Oh yes, I quite enjoyed studying math as a child, uh, because it was easy for me.
✓ Oh yes, I quite enjoyed studying math as a child because it was easy for me.
Remove filler 'uh' and extra comma for clarity. Tense usage 'enjoyed' and 'was' are correct for past reference.
× And when you're good at something, uh, it's quite, uh, pleasurable to, uh, to do it.
✓ And when you're good at something, it's quite pleasurable to do it.
Remove filler 'uh' repetitions and duplicate 'to'. The structure contained disfluencies rather than grammatical mistakes. Suggestion: streamline sentence by removing fillers and the duplicate infinitive marker.
× Uh, my age is very important to me.
✓ My age is very important to me.
Remove filler 'uh'. The pronoun 'me' is correctly used. No grammatical error beyond a filler word.
× Also my old telephone number from the times when I was a child is important to me because I use it as a password and, uh.
✓ Also, my old telephone number from when I was a child is important to me because I use it as a password.
Remove filler 'uh' and trailing comma. Replace 'from the times when I was a child' with the concise 'from when I was a child' for clearer, more natural phrasing. Pronoun 'it' correctly refers to 'number'. Suggestion: avoid fillers and unnecessary phrases.
