Candidate
I can speak Vietnamese as my mother tongue and also English as a second language that I learn at school.

Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Candidate
Yes, I do think learning a new language is quite difficult because it requires adapting to unfamiliar sounds and grammar rules. For example, when I try to learn English, I found it challenging to remember new vocabulary and correct sentence structure. Additionally, it takes a lot of time, practice, and exposure to become confidence in speaking and understanding.
Examiner
Will you learn other languages in the future?

Yes, I have a plan to learn another language in the future like in Chinese because it is second widely used language in the world. So I wish I can use that to improve my skills, also my academic performance.

✓ For example, when I try to learn English, I find it challenging to remember new vocabulary and correct sentence structure.
The verb 'found' is in the past tense, but the sentence context is present tense ('when I try'). Therefore, 'found' should be changed to 'find' to maintain tense consistency.
