Money— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat unclear and contains many hesitations and filler words, which affects the natural flow. Try to make your response more concise and structured by directly answering the question first, then providing a specific example with clear details. Avoid unnecessary pauses and filler words to sound more confident and natural.

Example: I usually avoid borrowing money because it can strain relationships. However, when I first arrived in Canada five months ago, I hadn't found a job yet and needed some financial help. So, I borrowed money from a close friend and repaid it as soon as I could.

Suggestion: Your answer lacks clarity and is incomplete, with many hesitations and repeated words. To improve, respond directly to the question with a clear topic sentence, then add specific details using linking words to make your answer coherent. Also, complete your thoughts fully to avoid confusion.

Example: Yes, I lent money to a close friend two months ago because she had just started school and couldn't afford her tuition fees. She asked to borrow money for two months and promised to repay me within that time. I was happy to help because I trust her and wanted to support her education.

× I came to the Canada in, uh, five months

✓ I came to Canada five months ago

The preposition 'to' is correctly used with 'Canada' without 'the' because 'Canada' is a proper noun and does not require an article. Also, 'in five months' is incorrect for past time reference; 'five months ago' is the correct expression to indicate a past event.

× I borrowed money from one of my best friend

✓ I borrowed money from one of my best friends

The phrase 'one of my best friend' is incorrect because 'one of' should be followed by a plural noun. Therefore, 'friends' is the correct plural form here.

× I uh, lend the money to my close friend before two months

✓ I lent the money to my close friend two months ago

The verb 'lend' should be in the past tense 'lent' to match the past time reference. Also, 'before two months' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'two months ago' to indicate a past event.

× she asked me to give money for uh, for uh two months

✓ she asked me to lend her money for two months

The phrase 'give money for two months' is awkward. The correct expression is 'lend her money for two months' to indicate the duration of the loan. Also, 'give money for' is not the correct prepositional phrase in this context.
