Part 1

What apps have you recently used?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, add one specific detail and a linking word to make it more natural. Keep it within 3–4 sentences. For example, name the type of videos and why you chose them.

Example: I recently used YouTube to watch short comedy sketches to lift my mood. For instance, I watched a few stand-up clips and funny pet videos because they help me relax after work. I usually watch these videos when I need a quick break.

What kinds of apps are you usually interested in?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence about the app types you prefer, then provide specific examples and use linking words (e.g., "for example", "also"). Avoid vague phrases like "I cannot tell" and correct grammar (e.g., tense/agreement).

Example: I am usually interested in practical apps that make daily life easier. For example, I use food delivery apps like Grab when I want to order meals, and I also use productivity apps for work such as a calendar and note-taking app. These apps save me time and help me stay organized.

How do you find out different apps?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence, use past/present consistently, and add a linking word to show sequence (e.g., "first", "then"). Give one specific example (name an app or site) to make your answer more concrete.

Example: I usually learn about new apps from friends and online reviews. For example, when I wanted a personal finance app, I first asked a friend for recommendations, then I read reviews on TechRadar and the app store before downloading one. This helps me choose a reliable app.

What kinds of apps would you like to use in the future?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a topic sentence, then provide specific reasons and a short plan. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so") and correct small errors (articles, plural). Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Example: I would like to use stock investing apps in the future because I plan to start investing. For example, I am researching apps that offer low fees and educational resources, and I will also ask friends for recommendations. That way I can learn and start investing safely.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I recently used YouTube. I looked for some funny videos on YouTube because I feel bored and I need some entertainment.

I recently used YouTube. I looked for some funny videos on YouTube because I felt bored and needed some entertainment.

The student mixes past and present tenses in the same context. 'Recently used' and 'looked' are past, so 'feel' and 'need' should be in past form 'felt' and 'needed' to maintain consistent past narration. Use consistent tense: when describing past actions or feelings, use past tense verbs.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I cannot tell. I used many apps and I use it based on my needs.

I cannot tell. I used many apps and I use them based on my needs.

The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers back to 'many apps' (plural). Use the plural pronoun 'them' to match the plural antecedent. Ensure pronoun number agrees with its noun.

Sentence structure errors

× For example if I want to look for some food I usually open grab food apps and if it is in the work and of course I use working related apps.

For example, if I want to look for food I usually open GrabFood apps, and if it is for work I, of course, use work-related apps.

The original sentence has several structure problems: missing commas, incorrect preposition 'in the work', wrong capitalization for the app name, and awkward adjective order. Add commas to separate clauses, use 'for work' instead of 'in the work', capitalize proper noun 'GrabFood' (or 'GrabFood' as brand), and use the adjective 'work-related' before 'apps'.

Present tense issue

× I usually find out different apps from my friends.

I usually find out about different apps from my friends.

The verb phrase 'find out' is typically followed by the preposition 'about' when referring to discovering information. Use 'find out about' to be idiomatic.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× For instance I was looking for personal finance tracking apps and I'm asking my friend and they tell about it to me and after that I usually look for some review from the Internet about the apps.

For instance, I was looking for personal finance tracking apps and I asked my friend; they told me about them, and after that I usually look for reviews on the Internet about the apps.

Multiple pronoun and tense errors: 'I'm asking' should be past 'I asked' to match 'I was looking'. 'They tell about it to me' is unidiomatic; use 'they told me about them' where 'them' matches 'apps'. 'Some review' should be plural 'reviews' and 'from the Internet' is better as 'on the Internet'. Ensure pronoun number and tense consistency.

Present tense issue

× Probably stock investing apps because I already have a plan to invest my money in stock and I already look for some apps in the website and of course I will ask my friends for some recommendation.

Probably stock investing apps because I already have a plan to invest my money in stocks, and I have already looked for some apps on websites; of course, I will ask my friends for some recommendations.

Several tense and article issues: 'invest my money in stock' should be 'in stocks' (plural) or 'in the stock market'. 'I already look for' should be past perfect/ present perfect 'I have already looked' to indicate prior research. Use 'on websites' or 'on the website' (if specific) and plural 'recommendations'. Ensure verb tenses reflect sequence and nouns agree in number.
