Do you like drawing?
Candidato
Do you like drawing? Yeah. No, I don't like drawing. It's not my cup of tea and I don't have an artistic talent. That's why I'm not into drawing at all. My son Yusuf has an artistic talent, so he can draw. He loves to draw. He loves drawing animals.

Do you like to go to the gallery?
Candidato
Yes I do because I always have warming feeling when I look at where it works and art helps me forget about my worries. The moment I indulge deep into art works my thoughts and, uh, my feel.
Examinador
Do you want to learn more about art?
Candidato
Honestly, I don't want to learn more about it because it's not my cup of tea and I do not enjoy it so much and I don't have the artistic talent so I'm not willing to indulge into any kind of arts I do love. Look.

Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?
Candidato
Yes, I did. I remember my teacher, she was trying so hard to teach me how to draw, but it was a big failure for me because I wasn't into drawing and I didn't have any kind of artistic talent, so I failed. I felt like for many times I wasn't sad that time because it was not my cup of tea so.
Do you like drawing?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence, avoid repeating ideas, and keep responses within four or five sentences. Add one specific supporting detail about why you dislike drawing (e.g., lack of patience or interest) and use linking words (e.g., however, because) to make the response coherent.
Ejemplo: No, I don't like drawing because I don't have much patience for detailed work. However, my son Yusuf is very talented and enjoys drawing animals, so I often admire his pictures instead.
Do you like to go to the gallery?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Clarify vocabulary and use correct collocations (e.g., 'a warm feeling', 'look at artworks' or 'look at the works') and complete sentences. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, 'because' then 'for instance'), and give one specific example of a gallery visit or a type of artwork you like.
Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I feel a warm, calming feeling when I look at artworks because they help me forget my worries; for example, I once spent an afternoon at a modern art gallery and left feeling relaxed and inspired.
Do you want to learn more about art?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Provide a brief direct answer then one reason, avoid repetition and unclear phrases. If you dislike learning art, explain a concrete reason (lack of interest, time, or priorities) and optionally mention a small exception to show nuance.
Ejemplo: No, I don't want to learn more about art because I don't enjoy it and I prefer to spend my free time on activities I find more rewarding, such as reading or sports.
Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Start with a direct answer, then give one or two concise specific details (what you learned, how you felt) and use correct grammar (past tense consistency) and linking words (e.g., 'but', 'so'). Avoid contradicting or repetitive phrases.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My teacher tried hard to teach me basic drawing skills like shapes and shading, but I didn’t enjoy it and didn’t improve much, so it felt like a failure and I eventually stopped practicing.
× 'I don't have an artistic talent.'
✓ 'I don't have artistic talent.'
'Artistic talent' is an uncountable abstract noun in this context, so using the indefinite article 'an' and treating it as singular is incorrect. Remove the article to make it uncountable or rephrase to a countable form like 'a talent for art'. Suggestion: use "I don't have artistic talent" or "I don't have a talent for art."
× 'It's not my cup of tea and I don't have an artistic talent.'
✓ 'It's not my cup of tea and I don't have artistic talent.'
'It's not my cup of tea' correctly uses present simple to describe a general preference. The connected clause should also use present simple. The main issue in the original is the article with 'talent' (see previous). Use consistent present simple for general facts and remove the incorrect article.
× 'My son Yusuf has an artistic talent, so he can draw.'
✓ 'My son Yusuf has artistic talent, so he can draw.'
'Has' agrees with singular subject 'My son Yusuf' (correct). The error is the unnecessary article with 'talent' as an uncountable noun in this sense; removing 'an' makes the phrase natural. Alternatively 'has a talent for drawing' is also correct.
× 'Yes I do because I always have warming feeling when I look at where it works and art helps me forget about my worries.'
✓ 'Yes, I do because I always have a warm feeling when I look at artworks, and art helps me forget about my worries.'
'Warming feeling' is incorrect collocation; 'a warm feeling' is natural. 'Where it works' is ungrammatical; use 'artworks' (one word) or 'works of art'. Commas improve clarity. Present simple is appropriate for habitual feelings.
× 'The moment I indulge deep into art works my thoughts and, uh, my feel.'
✓ 'The moment I immerse myself in artworks, my thoughts and feelings calm down.'
'Indulge deep into' is incorrect verb-preposition collocation; 'immerse myself in' or 'dive into' are correct. 'Art works' should be 'artworks' or 'works of art'. The original sentence lacks a clear predicate for 'my feel' (nonstandard); use 'my feelings calm down' or similar to complete the thought.
× 'Honestly, I don't want to learn more about it because it's not my cup of tea and I do not enjoy it so much and I don't have the artistic talent so I'm not willing to indulge into any kind of arts I do love. Look.'
✓ 'Honestly, I don't want to learn more about it because it's not my cup of tea, I don't enjoy it very much, and I don't have artistic talent, so I'm not willing to get involved in any kind of art.'
Multiple issues: use consistent present simple for general preferences. Replace 'indulge into' (incorrect) with 'get involved in' or 'engage in'. 'Any kind of arts' is awkward; use 'any kind of art' or 'the arts'. Remove 'the' before 'artistic talent' as it is uncountable here. 'I do love. Look.' is extraneous and unclear; omit.
× 'I remember my teacher, she was trying so hard to teach me how to draw, but it was a big failure for me because I wasn't into drawing and I didn't have any kind of artistic talent, so I failed.'
✓ 'I remember my teacher; she tried so hard to teach me how to draw, but it was a big failure for me because I wasn't into drawing and I didn't have any artistic talent, so I failed.'
Use simple past ('she tried') for a completed action in the past rather than past progressive unless emphasizing ongoing action. 'Any kind of artistic talent' is wordy; 'any artistic talent' is clearer. The sequence of past actions is better expressed with simple past for each completed event.
× 'I felt like for many times I wasn't sad that time because it was not my cup of tea so.'
✓ 'Many times I didn't feel sad because it wasn't my cup of tea.'
The original mixes past forms awkwardly and includes redundancy ('that time', 'so'). Use simple past consistently for past reflections: 'I didn't feel sad' and 'it wasn't my cup of tea'. Place adverb of frequency ('many times') in a natural position before the verb.
