Part 1

Examiner

What subject do you think is the most challenging at school?

Candidate

Well, the subject I find the most difficult is literature because I struggle with analysing teams and interpreting passages, which requires a lot of abstract thinking. I'm more comfortable with subjects like science and physics.

Examiner

Do you like to challenge yourself?

Candidate

Thus, sometimes I do enjoy challenging myself so that I can get used to going out of my comfort zone and trying new experiences so that I can develop my own skills and personalities.

Examiner

Do you like to live a life that has a lot of challenges?

Candidate

Well, I actually think I wouldn't want to live a life that is only full of challenges because I will find it exhausting and less enjoyable than a life with if you were challenges. I do believe some difficulties are important for growth. For example, overcoming a difficult project at work can be rewarding.

Examiner

How do you usually deal with challenges in daily life?

Candidate

Usually I try to deal with lazy challenges by coming up with more practical solutions and prioritizing task because that helps me stay calm and efficient. If a problem feels too overwhelming, I sometimes stay back and break it into smaller parts or ask a friend for advice.

Part 1

What subject do you think is the most challenging at school?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Bạn nên sửa lỗi từ vựng và ngữ pháp nhỏ (ví dụ "analysing teams" nên là "analysing themes"), dùng câu chủ đề rõ ràng hơn và giữ câu trả lời ngắn gọn (không quá 3–4 câu). Thêm một minh họa cụ thể về khó khăn (ví dụ loại đoạn văn bạn gặp vấn đề) để câu trả lời thực tế và thuyết phục hơn.

Example: I find literature the most challenging subject because analysing themes and interpreting complex passages requires abstract thinking. For example, I often struggle to identify the author’s tone in 19th-century novels, which makes essays difficult. In contrast, I’m more comfortable with science and physics because the answers feel more concrete and logical.

Do you like to challenge yourself?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Tránh dùng từ nối không phù hợp như "Thus" ở đầu câu nói đơn; rút gọn ý để tự nhiên hơn và sửa cấu trúc cuối câu ("develop my own skills and personalities" → "develop my skills and personality"). Nên nêu một ví dụ cụ thể ngắn gọn về thách thức gần đây để làm câu trả lời sinh động hơn.

Example: Yes, I sometimes enjoy challenging myself because it helps me leave my comfort zone and learn new skills. For instance, last year I signed up for a public-speaking course to improve my confidence, and it really helped me communicate more clearly.

Do you like to live a life that has a lot of challenges?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Sửa lỗi ngữ pháp và cấu trúc câu lặp (ví dụ câu "less enjoyable than a life with if you were challenges" bị rối) và giữ câu ngắn gọn, mạch lạc. Nên đưa lý do rõ ràng hơn vì sao quá nhiều thử thách gây mệt mỏi và kết thúc bằng một câu kết cụ thể.

Example: I wouldn’t want a life full of constant challenges because that would be exhausting and leave little time for relaxation. However, I believe some difficulties are important for personal growth; for example, completing a tough project at work can be very rewarding and build resilience.

How do you usually deal with challenges in daily life?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Khắc phục lỗi từ vựng/thiếu chữ ("lazy challenges" vô nghĩa; "prioritizing task" → "prioritizing tasks"). Dùng liên từ hợp lý và nêu ví dụ cụ thể về một chiến lược hoặc tình huống gần đây. Giữ câu ngắn gọn, rõ ràng và logic.

Example: I usually deal with everyday challenges by prioritizing tasks and finding practical solutions, which helps me stay calm and efficient. If a problem seems overwhelming, I break it into smaller steps and tackle them one by one, or I ask a friend for advice — for example, I recently split a big assignment into three parts and finished it on time.

Grammar

Verb in the -ing form

× I struggle with analysing teams and interpreting passages, which requires a lot of abstract thinking.

I struggle with analysing themes and interpreting passages, which require a lot of abstract thinking.

The verb 'require' must agree in number with the compound subject 'analysing themes and interpreting passages' (plural), so use 'require' instead of 'requires'. Also, 'teams' appears to be a typo for 'themes' in context; correcting that improves meaning. Suggestions: ensure subject-verb agreement by matching plural subjects with plural verbs, and check for word-choice typos.

Verb in the -ing form

× Thus, sometimes I do enjoy challenging myself so that I can get used to going out of my comfort zone and trying new experiences so that I can develop my own skills and personalities.

Sometimes I do enjoy challenging myself so that I can get used to going out of my comfort zone and trying new experiences so that I can develop my own skills and personality.

'Personalities' is incorrect because the speaker refers to their single set of personal qualities; use the singular 'personality'. Also the sentence began with 'Thus,' which is unnecessary and unnatural in this context; removing it improves fluency. Suggestions: use singular nouns when referring to one person's traits and avoid redundant discourse markers.

Future tense issue

× Well, I actually think I wouldn't want to live a life that is only full of challenges because I will find it exhausting and less enjoyable than a life with if you were challenges.

Well, I actually think I wouldn't want to live a life that is only full of challenges because I would find it exhausting and less enjoyable than a life with fewer challenges.

Mixed conditional/modal errors: 'I will find' should match the conditional 'would', so use 'would find'. The phrase 'a life with if you were challenges' is ungrammatical and likely intended as 'a life with fewer challenges'. Also 'wouldn't want' pairs with 'would find'. Suggestions: keep conditional verb forms consistent (would...would) and replace garbled phrases with concise comparatives like 'fewer challenges'.

Verb in the -ing form

× Usually I try to deal with lazy challenges by coming up with more practical solutions and prioritizing task because that helps me stay calm and efficient.

Usually I try to deal with low-priority challenges by coming up with more practical solutions and prioritizing tasks because that helps me stay calm and efficient.

Word choice and number: 'lazy challenges' is awkward; 'low-priority challenges' conveys the intended meaning. 'Task' should be plural 'tasks' to match 'prioritizing'. Suggestions: choose appropriate modifiers and ensure nouns that refer to multiple items are plural.

Present tense issue

× If a problem feels too overwhelming, I sometimes stay back and break it into smaller parts or ask a friend for advice.

If a problem feels too overwhelming, I sometimes step back and break it into smaller parts or ask a friend for advice.

'Stay back' is not the idiomatic collocation here; 'step back' is the correct phrasal verb meaning to pause and reassess. Tense is otherwise appropriate. Suggestions: use common idiomatic expressions (step back) to convey the intended action clearly.
