Do you wear a watch?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Try to make your answer more concise and natural by avoiding redundancy. For example, instead of repeating the reason twice, state it clearly once and add a linking phrase to enhance coherence.

Example: No, I don't wear a watch because when I was a kid, I developed skin sensitivity from wearing them, so I have avoided watches ever since.

Have you ever got a watch as a gift?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Improve coherence by using linking words and provide a bit more detail to enrich your answer. Also, use more natural expressions like 'close family members' instead of 'some family members'.

Example: Yes, I've received many watches as gifts from my loved ones; however, I rarely wear them and usually give them to close family members instead.

Why do some people wear expensive watches?

Score: 85.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear but could be improved by using linking words and more precise vocabulary. For example, use 'status symbol' instead of 'prestigious' and explain why people want to show wealth.

Example: Some people wear expensive watches because they see them as a status symbol, which helps to show others that they are wealthy or belong to a high social class.

Do you think it is important to wear a watch? Why?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Make your answer more concise and natural by avoiding repetition and using linking words. Also, try to combine related ideas into one sentence for better flow.

Example: Personally, I don't find it necessary to wear a watch because my sensitive skin can get irritated, and I can easily check the time on my phone.

Grammar

Past tense issue

× No I don't wear a watch because when I was a kid I used to wear some watches and my hand got some sensitivity reactions.

No, I don't wear a watch because when I was a kid I used to wear some watches and my hand got some sensitive reactions.

The phrase 'sensitivity reactions' is incorrect; the adjective 'sensitive' should be used to describe the reactions. 'Sensitivity' is a noun, but here an adjective is needed to modify 'reactions'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× That's why I hated wearing watches since then.

That's why I have hated wearing watches since then.

The phrase 'since then' requires the present perfect tense to indicate an action continuing from the past to the present. Using 'hated' (simple past) is incorrect here; 'have hated' is appropriate.

Past tense issue

× Yes, I've received many watches as gifts from my beloved ones.

Yes, I've received many watches as gifts from my loved ones.

The phrase 'beloved ones' is not commonly used in this context; 'loved ones' is the correct expression to refer to close family or friends.

Present tense issue

× However, I did not wear many of them.

However, I have not worn many of them.

Since the action relates to the present experience, the present perfect tense 'have not worn' is more appropriate than the simple past 'did not wear'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I give them to some family members.

I give them to some family members.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Some people think it is so prestigious to wear an expensive watch and it can indicate to other people how high class or rich they are.

Some people think it is prestigious to wear an expensive watch and it can indicate to other people how high-class or rich they are.

The phrase 'so prestigious' is informal and unnecessary; 'prestigious' alone suffices. Also, 'high class' should be hyphenated as 'high-class' when used as an adjective.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Speaking about myself, I don't find it necessary to wear a watch because I have sensitive skin and my skin can develop irritation or some kind of allergies towards the watch and I can also know time from the cell phone.

Speaking about myself, I don't find it necessary to wear a watch because I have sensitive skin and my skin can develop irritation or some kind of allergy from the watch, and I can also tell the time from my cell phone.

The phrase 'allergies towards the watch' is incorrect; 'allergy from the watch' is better. Also, 'know time' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'tell the time'. Additionally, 'some kind of allergies' should be singular 'some kind of allergy' for agreement.
