Language— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and directly state which languages you speak, then give one clear supporting detail. Avoid repetition and filler words (um, I mean). Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, however).

Example: I speak Mandarin as my first language and I can also speak English. I understand Taiwanese when people speak it, but I can't speak it fluently. For example, I can follow conversations in Taiwanese but I rarely use it myself.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, then provide two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because, while). Reduce hesitations and correct small grammar (use 'language' singular).

Example: It depends on the learning environment. If you are surrounded by speakers of the language, it is much easier because you get constant practice; while without that environment, progress is slower because you lack real-life exposure.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer and then give one or two clear, specific reasons. Remove repeated phrases and fillers. Use linking words such as 'because' and 'therefore' to structure the response.

Example: Yes, I will learn more languages in the future because I enjoy learning about other cultures and it helps me connect with people from different countries. Therefore, I plan to study Japanese next to improve cultural understanding and communication.

Suggestion: Answer directly and then give a clear progression from necessity to personal interest. Avoid repetitions and correct tense (use past tense: 'I learned'). Add a brief specific example of how you practice or enjoy English.

Example: I originally learned English because it was compulsory at school, but it later became a hobby for me because I love languages. For example, I now read English novels and watch films to improve my skills and enjoy the language.

× I can speak Mandarin because that is my mother tongue and I can speak English and I'm willing to speak English because I have a different personality while I'm speaking English.

✓ I can speak Mandarin because that is my mother tongue, and I can speak English. I'm willing to speak English because I have a different personality when I speak English.

Original sentence is long and awkward but contains plural/singular consistency issues with 'personality while I'm speaking English.' Replace 'while I'm speaking' with 'when I speak' for natural present tense usage and break into two sentences for clarity. No plural nouns needed, but restructuring improves agreement and flow.

× And I know, I mean I understand someone when someone is speaking Taiwanese, but I can't say I can't speak Taiwanese.

✓ I understand what someone says when they speak Taiwanese, but I cannot say that I can speak Taiwanese.

Repeated 'someone' is awkward and pronoun reference unclear. Use 'they' as singular gender-neutral pronoun and rephrase 'I can't say I can't speak Taiwanese' to 'I cannot say that I can speak Taiwanese' to correctly convey inability. Also avoid double negation.

× If you're in the environment that people are speaking the different languages, that will be much easier for you to learn this in language.

✓ If you are in an environment where people speak different languages, it will be much easier for you to learn a language.

Use 'an environment' not 'the environment' (general reference). Replace 'that people are speaking the different languages' with 'where people speak different languages' for correct clause and use 'a language' rather than 'this in language' which is ungrammatical.

× But if you don't have the environment of, umm, learning English, it is totally difficult.

✓ But if you do not have an environment for learning English, it is very difficult.

'The environment of learning English' is awkward; use 'an environment for learning English'. Replace colloquial 'totally difficult' with 'very difficult'. Remove filler 'umm'.

× Yes, actually I'm a language learning enthusiast because umm, learning in umm, learning languages is very interesting because you can know about the culture and you can connect with different nationalities, people.

✓ Yes, actually I am a language-learning enthusiast because learning languages is very interesting: you can learn about cultures and connect with people from different nationalities.

Avoid redundant fillers 'umm' and the awkward phrase 'you can know about the culture.' Use plural 'cultures' and 'people from different nationalities' for clarity and natural word order. Hyphenate 'language-learning' as a compound adjective.

× So I, I would say I will, I'm willing to learn a language.

✓ So I would say I am willing to learn another language.

Simplify repeated pronouns and verb forms. Use 'I am willing' (present) rather than mixing 'I will, I'm willing'. Add 'another' to clarify future learning. This corrects awkward tense/modal mixing.

× So in the beginning I'm learning English is is a kind of umm, mandatory thing in at school because every student in Taiwan they have to learn English.

✓ At the beginning I learned English because it was mandatory at school; every student in Taiwan had to learn English.

The original mixes present continuous and incorrect articles ('in at school'). For past context ('in the beginning'), use past tense 'learned' and 'was mandatory'. Also remove redundant 'they' after 'every student'. Correct article use: 'at school' without 'in'.

× But umm, it became a hobby for me because I love languages.

✓ But it became a hobby for me because I love languages.

Main error is filler 'umm' which should be removed in formal speech. Tense usage is correct: 'became' (past) and 'love' (present) correctly express change and ongoing preference.
