Part 1

Are you interested in news?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition and grammar errors, and use linking words to connect ideas. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and give one specific example of what kind of news you follow.

Example: Yes, I am interested in news. I follow world and technology news to keep up with global events and industry developments. Because I’m short on time, I usually watch short news clips on the YouTube app while commuting, which helps me stay informed quickly.

How do you usually find news?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Organize the answer: open with a clear topic sentence, then list main sources using linking words (for example, first, also, finally). Correct grammar (singular/plural, articles) and give one precise example of a source you trust.

Example: I usually find news online through social media and video platforms. For example, I follow credible channels on YouTube and check headlines on news apps; I also sometimes read a free newspaper from a nearby supermarket when I have time.

Would you like to be a journalist?

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× Definitely, news are an important part of the life through which you can get the knowledge about the whole world.

Definitely, news is an important part of life through which you can get knowledge about the whole world.

'News' is an uncountable noun treated as singular in English, so use the singular verb 'is' and no article 'the' before 'life' and no 'the' before 'knowledge'. Remove extra articles to make the sentence natural. Grammar problem type ID:1

Article errors

× I used to read a newspaper everyday.

I used to read a newspaper every day.

Use 'every day' (two words) to mean 'each day'. No article change is needed for 'a newspaper'. Also separate 'every day' as two words. Grammar problem type ID:22

Verb in the present participle form

× However due to lack of time I read the news on YouTube app while watching the the videos.

However, due to a lack of time I read the news on the YouTube app while watching videos.

Add comma after 'However'. Use 'a lack of time' or 'lack of time' with article for naturalness. Use 'the YouTube app' and remove duplicate 'the' and unnecessary article before 'videos'. 'Watching videos' is correct present participle usage. Grammar problem type ID:10

Incorrect use of the definite article

× These days there are several ways that you can find news.

These days there are several ways in which you can find news.

Sentence structure 'ways in which' is more natural than 'ways that'. Keep 'news' uncountable. Change 'that you can find news' to 'in which you can find news' for proper relative clause. Grammar problem type ID:17

Third person singular issue

× Everyone use social media.

Everyone uses social media.

With singular indefinite pronoun 'everyone' the verb must take third person singular 'uses'. Grammar problem type ID:2

Incorrect use of pronouns

× For instance, myself, I have downloaded the Tiktok and the YouTube app.

For instance, I have downloaded the TikTok and YouTube apps.

Do not use 'myself' as subject; use 'I'. Brand names: 'TikTok' and 'YouTube'. Use plural 'apps' because two apps were downloaded. Grammar problem type ID:12

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I use the YouTube app to watch the videos.

I use the YouTube app to watch videos.

Drop 'the' before 'videos' when speaking generally. 'The YouTube app' is fine; 'videos' is general plural. Grammar problem type ID:17

Sentence structure errors

× However, you can read a newspaper and borrow for many superstore which provides free.

However, you can read a newspaper or borrow one from many supermarkets that provide them for free.

Original has missing object and incorrect noun forms. 'Borrow one from many supermarkets that provide them for free' supplies the missing object 'one' and corrects 'superstore' to 'supermarkets' and 'provides' to 'provide'. Grammar problem type ID:26

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I have completed my diploma in Computing sport.

I have completed my diploma in Computing and Sports.

Original phrase unclear; likely means 'Computing and Sports' or 'Computer Science'. Use parallel nouns and proper capitalization: 'Computing and Sports'. Grammar problem type ID:13

Present tense issue

× Due to lack of knowledge and study, I want to be a journalist in the near future.

Due to a lack of knowledge and study, I want to become a journalist in the near future.

Use 'a lack of' for naturalness and 'want to become' is more idiomatic than 'want to be' when expressing future career aspiration. Grammar problem type ID:6

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I do not have keen interest in this field.

I do not have a keen interest in this field.

Include the article 'a' before 'keen interest'. Grammar problem type ID:12

Incorrect use of the definite article

× However, I respect the this position behind because it needs a lot of hard work.

However, I respect this position because it requires a lot of hard work.

Remove extra article 'the' before 'this'. 'Behind' is unnecessary. Use 'requires' to express necessity and 'a lot of' is correct. Grammar problem type ID:17

Past tense issue

× To be very honest with you, today I did not get enough time to read the news I was preparing for my health examination so I spent my hours morning hours in studying rather than reading the news.

To be very honest with you, today I did not have enough time to read the news because I was preparing for my health examination, so I spent my morning hours studying rather than reading the news.

Use 'did not have' instead of 'did not get'. Fix word order 'morning hours' to 'morning hours' and remove extra 'in'. Use comma and 'because' to connect clauses properly. 'Spent my morning hours studying' is correct past continuous description. Grammar problem type ID:5

Verb + -ing form

× But I would definitely watch the news from the examination at home for relaxation and get knowledge.

But I would definitely watch the news at home after the examination for relaxation and to get information.

'Watch the news after the examination' is clearer. Use 'to get information' or 'to learn' instead of 'get knowledge'. Maintain infinitive 'to get' for purpose. Change preposition 'from' to 'after'. Grammar problem type ID:8

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, definitely. I usually talk with my friends about the news, sometimes on WhatsApp and on the calls.

Yes, definitely. I usually talk with my friends about the news, sometimes on WhatsApp and on calls.

Use 'on calls' rather than 'on the calls' for general reference. 'Talk with' is acceptable but 'talk to' is also common. Grammar problem type ID:11

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I barely get time to meet my friends in person.

I rarely get time to meet my friends in person.

'Barely' means 'almost not at all' and is often inappropriate here; 'rarely' better expresses infrequency. Grammar problem type ID:14

Incorrect use of articles and singular/plural

× We share our thoughts through the social media apps.

We share our thoughts through social media apps.

Drop 'the' before 'social media apps' when speaking generally. Grammar problem type ID:22

Singular and plural issue

× Recently I shared a news of death of the one of the famous actors named Dharminderi in India.

Recently I shared news of the death of one of the famous actors named Dharminderi in India.

Use 'news' uncountable (no 'a'), include 'the death' and remove extra 'the' before 'one'. Correct word order 'one of the famous actors'. Grammar problem type ID:1
