Part 1
Examiner
Do you have a talent or something you are good at?
Candidate
Yes, I'd like to consider myself to be in possession of a few talents, namely mechanical design, 3D printing, and electronics.
Examiner
Was it mastered recently or when you were young?
Candidate
Some of the skills I've developed it when I was in high school, and some of them I developed it when I was in college. So mechanical design and electronics design, I developed it when I was in high school because I was always interested in tinkering with those sort of things. But 3D printing, I got exposed to it in college.
Examiner
Do you think your talent can be useful for your future work? Why?
Candidate
Absolutely, I firmly believe that my talent would be useful in my future, especially considering that 3D printing and mechanical design are very much required in industry these days due to rapid due to the rising need for rapid prototyping.
Examiner
Do you think anyone in your family has the same talent?
Candidate
No, I don't think so. No one in my family possesses mechanical or electrical design skills. However, there are several civil engineers in my family.
Do you have a talent or something you are good at?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it could be more natural by simplifying the phrasing. Instead of 'I'd like to consider myself to be in possession of a few talents,' you could say 'I have a few talents.' This makes your response sound more fluent and natural.
Example: Yes, I have a few talents, including mechanical design, 3D printing, and electronics.
Was it mastered recently or when you were young?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Your answer provides good details but contains some grammatical errors and redundancy. For example, 'I've developed it' should be 'I developed them.' Also, avoid repeating 'I developed it' twice. Use linking words like 'while' to connect ideas smoothly.
Example: I developed mechanical design and electronics skills in high school because I was always interested in tinkering with those things, while I was first exposed to 3D printing during college.
Do you think your talent can be useful for your future work? Why?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and shows good reasoning, but it has some redundancy ('due to rapid due to the rising need'). Try to avoid repeating phrases and use clearer linking words to improve coherence.
Example: Absolutely, I believe my talents will be useful in my future work because 3D printing and mechanical design are increasingly important in the industry for rapid prototyping.
Do you think anyone in your family has the same talent?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: Your answer is clear and concise. To improve, you could add a linking word to connect your ideas more smoothly, such as 'but' instead of 'however,' and provide a brief explanation to enrich your response.
Example: No, I don't think anyone in my family has mechanical or electrical design skills, but there are several civil engineers, so engineering runs in the family.

The pronoun 'it' is unnecessary and incorrect after 'developed' in this context. The verb 'developed' already has its object implied, so adding 'it' causes redundancy and grammatical error. Removing 'it' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
