What do you usually do on your birthday?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Be more concise, use correct grammar and a clear structure: start with a topic sentence, then give one or two specific details linked with connectors. Avoid repetition and filler words. Improve verb forms (e.g., "have a party", "set up" → "organize"), and correct collocations ("celebrate my birthday with friends").
Example: I usually celebrate my birthday with close friends. For example, we often organize a small party at my home with food and music, and sometimes we go out for dinner. Because we all have busy schedules, I really appreciate that they make time to celebrate with me.
What did you do on your birthday when you were young?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Correct grammar (past tense) and give clear, specific details. Begin with a past-tense topic sentence, then add one or two supporting sentences using linking words such as "because" or "for example." Avoid unclear phrases like "stay bothered me."
Example: When I was young, my parents always celebrated my birthday at home. For example, they bought a big chocolate cake and invited our relatives, and I remember feeling very happy because everyone sang and gave me presents.
Do you think it is important for you to celebrate your birthday?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Give a direct opinion in a clear sentence and use fluent linking words. Remove fillers ("uh"). Use correct phrasing: "another year of life is meaningful" and express reasons concisely. Limit to 2–3 sentences with supporting reason and a prediction if needed.
Example: Yes, I think celebrating my birthday is important. It marks another year of life and gives me a chance to reflect on achievements, so I often celebrate to feel grateful and to set goals for the coming year.
Whose birthday do you think is the most important to celebrate in China?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Start with a clear stance and provide a culturally relevant reason. Avoid repetition and unclear endings. If unsure, say so briefly then give a general opinion with an example (e.g., family elders are valued). Use linking words like "however" or "generally."
Example: I'm not sure about a single most important birthday in China; however, generally people pay special attention to elders' birthdays. For instance, celebrating a grandparent's birthday is common because it shows respect and brings family together.
× I usually do meet my friends to set up my birthday which is really good experience for me and I I really appreciate my friends to celebrate my birthday and I also I do a partly to hold a party so it is really good.
✓ I usually meet my friends to set up my birthday, which is a really good experience for me, and I really appreciate my friends celebrating my birthday. I also sometimes hold a party, so it is really nice.
The original uses 'do meet' and 'do a partly' which are incorrect. Use the base verb 'meet' without 'do' for habitual actions. 'Appreciate my friends to celebrate' is incorrect; 'appreciate my friends celebrating' uses the gerund after 'appreciate' when referring to an action. 'Partly' is a misspelling of 'party' and 'do a party' is unnatural; use 'hold a party' or 'have a party'. Suggestions: remove unnecessary 'do', use gerund after 'appreciate', correct word spellings, and simplify phrasing for clarity.
× When I was a young my parents celebrate my birthday and stay bothered me.
✓ When I was young, my parents celebrated my birthday and stayed by my side.
'a young' is incorrect; 'young' describing age needs no article. The verb tense should be past ('celebrated') to match 'When I was young'. 'stay bothered me' is ungrammatical and unclear; if the meaning is that parents were present or worried, use 'stayed by my side' or 'were bothered'. Suggestions: remove the article before 'young', use past tense for past events, and choose an idiomatic phrase to express the intended meaning.
× They bought a cake whole cake to eat and serve my birthday which was really delicious and I was fine.
✓ They bought a whole cake to eat and serve at my birthday, which was really delicious, and I was happy.
The phrase 'a cake whole cake' duplicates 'cake' and misorders adjective and noun; the correct order is 'a whole cake'. Use 'serve at my birthday' to indicate occasion. 'I was fine' is grammatical but 'I was happy' better matches positive tone. Suggestions: place adjectives before nouns, remove duplication, and use appropriate preposition 'at' for events.
× Yet it is really important to uh, celebrate my birthday because uh, living one year is really rewarding thing.
✓ Yes, it is really important to celebrate my birthday because living another year is a really rewarding experience.
'Yet' is wrongly used; 'yes' fits the affirmative answer. Missing article before 'really rewarding thing' — use 'a really rewarding experience'. 'Living one year' is unclear; 'living another year' or 'living one more year' expresses the idea of completing another year. Suggestions: choose correct discourse marker ('yes'), include articles before nouns, and use clearer phrasing like 'another year' and 'experience'.
× So I want to celebrate my birthday and to for hope the next day, next year, it's gonna be a good year.
✓ So I want to celebrate my birthday and hope that next year will be a good year.
The original mixes infinitive phrases ('to for hope') and informal 'gonna'. Use the simple verb 'hope' with a that-clause: 'hope that next year will be a good year.' Avoid contractions like 'gonna' in formal correction. Suggestions: remove unnecessary 'to' and 'for', use correct clause structure, and use 'will be' for future expectation.
× I I don't know whose birthdays is important for the in China, but I actually I think is the birthday is every is important for everyone.
✓ I don't know whose birthdays are most important in China, but I actually think every birthday is important for everyone.
Multiple issues: subject-verb agreement ('birthdays is' should be 'birthdays are'); extra words 'the in China' and duplicated phrases. Use 'whose birthdays are most important in China' for clarity. 'the birthday is every is important' is ungrammatical; correct to 'every birthday is important'. Suggestions: fix subject-verb agreement, remove duplicate words, and reorder to 'in China' after the noun phrase.
