How often do you watch movies?
Candidate
When I was living with my parents, I will watch movies a lot because I had three times every day and spent in front of the TV. But as I lived in Yangon independently from my parents, I have to work and study, so I don't have much time to watch to enjoy movies.
Examiner
What kinds of movies do you usually watch?
Candidate
It has changed over time. When I was a little girl, I prefer to watch Disney movies or cartoon, but when I get older, I prefer to watch Korean dramas because I'm more interesting in romance especially, I really like the Korean actors and actress well where I can learn their fashions.
Examiner
Do you prefer the cinema or watching at home?
Candidate
I totally prefer to watch from home because it is more comfortable for me, especially if I want to eat something. But if I have a chance to try to watch on uh in the cinemas, I will definitely agree with that because I've never experienced in my life.
Examiner
Is it useful to watch movies in other languages?
Candidate
Watching movies in other languages can really help us to improve our language skills. Especially if the subtitle is in English, we can learn the new vocabulary, the phrases which rarely promote to advance in the language beyond enjoying the plot.

× When I was living with my parents, I will watch movies a lot because I had three times every day and spent in front of the TV.
✓ When I was living with my parents, I would watch movies a lot because I had three times every day and spent time in front of the TV.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'will' to describe a habitual action in the past. 'Would' is the correct modal verb to express habitual past actions. Also, 'spent' needs an object, so 'spent time' is appropriate.
× I had three times every day and spent in front of the TV.
✓ I had three times every day and spent time in front of the TV.
The verb 'spent' requires an object to complete its meaning. Adding 'time' after 'spent' clarifies the action.
× so I don't have much time to watch to enjoy movies.
✓ so I don't have much time to watch and enjoy movies.
The phrase 'to watch to enjoy' is incorrect. Using 'to watch and enjoy' correctly connects the two verbs with 'and'.
× When I was a little girl, I prefer to watch Disney movies or cartoon,
✓ When I was a little girl, I preferred to watch Disney movies or cartoons,
The sentence mixes past time reference 'When I was a little girl' with present tense 'prefer'. The verb should be in past tense 'preferred'. Also, 'cartoon' should be plural 'cartoons' to match the context.
× I prefer to watch Disney movies or cartoon,
✓ I preferred to watch Disney movies or cartoons,
The noun 'cartoon' should be plural 'cartoons' to correctly refer to multiple items.
× but when I get older, I prefer to watch Korean dramas because I'm more interesting in romance especially,
✓ but as I got older, I preferred to watch Korean dramas because I'm more interested in romance especially,
The phrase 'when I get older' should be past tense 'as I got older' to match the past context. 'I'm more interesting' is incorrect; it should be 'I'm more interested' to express interest.
× I'm more interesting in romance especially,
✓ I'm more interested in romance especially,
'Interesting' describes something that causes interest, while 'interested' describes a person's feeling. Here, 'interested' is correct.
× I really like the Korean actors and actress well where I can learn their fashions.
✓ I really like the Korean actors and actresses because I can learn their fashion.
'Actress' should be plural 'actresses' to match 'actors'. 'Well where' is incorrect; 'because' is appropriate to show reason. 'Fashions' is better as 'fashion' when referring to style in general.
× But if I have a chance to try to watch on uh in the cinemas, I will definitely agree with that because I've never experienced in my life.
✓ But if I have a chance to watch in the cinema, I will definitely take it because I've never experienced it in my life.
'Try to watch on uh in the cinemas' is awkward; 'watch in the cinema' is clearer. 'Agree with that' is incorrect; 'take it' or 'do it' fits better. 'Experienced in my life' needs an object 'it'.
× I've never experienced in my life.
✓ I've never experienced it in my life.
The verb 'experienced' requires an object; adding 'it' completes the meaning.
× Especially if the subtitle is in English, we can learn the new vocabulary, the phrases which rarely promote to advance in the language beyond enjoying the plot.
✓ Especially if the subtitles are in English, we can learn new vocabulary and phrases which rarely help to advance in the language beyond enjoying the plot.
'Subtitle' should be plural 'subtitles' as movies usually have multiple subtitles. 'The new vocabulary' is better as 'new vocabulary' without 'the'. 'Promote' is incorrect; 'help' fits better. Also, 'and' connects 'vocabulary' and 'phrases' properly.
