In what conditions would you use a computer?
Candidato
I will use the computer if I have school assignments or if I want to do a professional exercise or activity that would require more efficient right typing that a phone cannot provide.
Examinador
When was the first time you used a computer?
Candidato
The first time I used the computer was in 9th grade when I had a school assignment that I was going to present in front of the class, but the teacher wanted a paper which the assignments typed on it.

What would your life be like without a computer?
Candidato
Overall, I think that my life would be the same because I don't use computer often, but only when I really feel the need to. I often use my iPad though. However, I think that I will still feel the absence of computer when I have school projects because.

In what conditions would it be difficult for you to use a computer?
Candidato
It will be difficult for me to use a computer when I do assignments in courses such as math, science or art because it's very difficult for me to type numbers and math signs and in science I often.
In what conditions would you use a computer?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Make your answer more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid awkward phrases like “right typing.” Focus on relevant vocabulary (e.g., write, type, edit, professional tasks).
Ejemplo: I usually use a computer when I have school assignments or professional tasks because it’s easier to type and format documents. For example, when I write reports or prepare presentations, a computer lets me edit text and insert images more efficiently than a phone.
When was the first time you used a computer?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Give a clearer, shorter response with correct grammar and one specific detail about the experience. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct verb forms (e.g., “wanted a paper typed”).
Ejemplo: I first used a computer in ninth grade when I had to type a paper for a class presentation. Because the teacher required a typed document, I learned basic typing and how to use a word processor for that assignment.
What would your life be like without a computer?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Answer more directly and finish your thought. Begin with a clear topic sentence about whether life would change, then give one specific example and a linking word. Avoid leaving sentences incomplete.
Ejemplo: My life would be mostly the same because I mainly use an iPad for daily tasks, but it would be harder for school projects that need advanced software. For example, writing long reports or creating complex presentations would be more difficult without a computer.
In what conditions would it be difficult for you to use a computer?
Puntuación: 50.0Sugerencia: Provide a complete, specific answer with one or two clear reasons and correct phrasing. Use linking words and finish the sentence. Mention concrete examples (e.g., typing equations, using specialised software).
Ejemplo: It would be difficult for me to use a computer for subjects like math or science because typing equations and special symbols is challenging. For instance, I struggle to input fractions or formulas and I’m not familiar with software like equation editors or graphing tools.
× I will use the computer if I have school assignments or if I want to do a professional exercise or activity that would require more efficient right typing that a phone cannot provide.
✓ I use the computer if I have school assignments or if I want to do a professional exercise or activity that requires more efficient, correct typing than a phone can provide.
The original mixes future 'will' with a general condition. For habitual or general conditions, use present simple ('I use', 'requires'). Also 'would require' is conditional and unnecessary. 'Right typing' is unclear; 'correct typing' or 'accurate typing' is better. Use comparative structure 'than a phone can provide.' Suggested improvement: use present simple for habitual actions and choose clear adjectives ('accurate' or 'correct').
× The first time I used the computer was in 9th grade when I had a school assignment that I was going to present in front of the class, but the teacher wanted a paper which the assignments typed on it.
✓ The first time I used a computer was in ninth grade when I had a school assignment to present in front of the class, but the teacher wanted a paper with the assignment typed on it.
Use 'a computer' not 'the computer' for first general mention. Use 'ninth' instead of '9th' in formal speech. 'I was going to present' can be simplified to 'to present'. The clause 'which the assignments typed on it' is ungrammatical; correct form is 'with the assignment typed on it' or 'with the assignment typed.' Also 'assignment' should be singular to match. Improve by simplifying infinitive purpose and using correct preposition 'with.'
× Overall, I think that my life would be the same because I don't use computer often, but only when I really feel the need to.
✓ Overall, I think that my life would be the same because I don't use a computer often; I use it only when I really feel the need to.
Use article 'a computer'. The original mixes clauses; better to split with a semicolon or conjunction. Maintain present simple 'don't use' for habitual action. Move 'only' to 'I use it only when...' for clearer adverb placement. Suggestion: include the pronoun 'it' to refer to computer and use correct article.
× However, I think that I will still feel the absence of computer when I have school projects because.
✓ However, I think that I would still feel the absence of a computer when I have school projects.
The sentence ends with 'because' and is incomplete. Also 'will' can be changed to 'would' to match the hypothetical 'life without a computer' context. Use article 'a computer.' Remove trailing 'because' or complete the clause. Suggested improvement: provide the reason after 'because' or use 'would' for hypothetical situations.
× It will be difficult for me to use a computer when I do assignments in courses such as math, science or art because it's very difficult for me to type numbers and math signs and in science I often.
✓ It would be difficult for me to use a computer when I do assignments in courses such as math, science, or art because it's very hard for me to type numbers and mathematical symbols; in science I often need specialized formatting or diagrams.
Use 'would' for hypothetical difficulty. Add Oxford comma for clarity. 'Math signs' should be 'mathematical symbols' or 'math symbols.' The original ends abruptly 'and in science I often.' Complete the idea by explaining what is needed in science (formatting or diagrams). Use consistent adjectives ('hard' or 'difficult') and provide a full clause. Suggestion: finish thoughts and use precise terms for symbols and formatting.
