Did you do puzzles in your childhood?
Candidato
Yes, I did a lot because it's a great hobby for me when I was a board and it trains me to think faster and also my muscle memory and imagery analyze.
Examinador
When do you do puzzles, during your trip or when you feel bored?
Candidato
I usually do them when I feel bored because during your trip is supposed to have fun and do other things instead of focusing on something that you can do indoors. When you are like feeling bored, this is the way for you to kill time. So I think it's better for me to do it when I feel bored.
Examinador
Do you like doing word puzzles or number puzzles? Which is more difficult for you?
Candidato
I like both of them. Personally I think rap puzzles is more difficult because number puzzles is something that is quite easy for Asian because we did a lot of difficult maths when we were young. But for real puzzles, especially English ones, we didn't talk much in English so it's quite hard for me.

Do you think it is good for old people to do puzzles?
Candidato
Yes, it contains a lot of benefits for them if they do this because puzzles can train someone to think faster or like to improve their imagery analysis, as well as they can have extra time spending on some physical things instead of mobile phones.

× Yes, I did a lot because it's a great hobby for me when I was a board and it trains me to think faster and also my muscle memory and imagery analyze.
✓ Yes, I did a lot because it was a great hobby for me when I was a board and it trained me to think faster and also improved my muscle memory and imagery analysis.
The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. Since the speaker refers to childhood, past tense should be used consistently ('was', 'trained', 'improved'). Also, 'imagery analyze' is incorrect; the noun form 'imagery analysis' is appropriate here.
× Yes, I did a lot because it's a great hobby for me when I was a board and it trains me to think faster and also my muscle memory and imagery analyze.
✓ Yes, I did a lot because it was a great hobby for me when I was bored and it trained me to think faster and also improved my muscle memory and imagery analysis.
The phrase 'when I was a board' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'when I was bored' to indicate feeling uninterested or idle.
× I usually do them when I feel bored because during your trip is supposed to have fun and do other things instead of focusing on something that you can do indoors.
✓ I usually do them when I feel bored because during a trip you are supposed to have fun and do other things instead of focusing on something that you can do indoors.
The use of 'your' is inappropriate in this context as the speaker is talking generally. Using 'a trip' and 'you' makes the statement more general and appropriate.
× When you are like feeling bored, this is the way for you to kill time.
✓ When I am feeling bored, this is the way for me to kill time.
The speaker should use first-person pronouns ('I', 'me') to refer to themselves rather than 'you', which is second person.
× So I think it's better for me to do it when I feel bored.
✓ So I think it's better for me to do it when I feel bored.
This sentence is correct; no changes needed.
× Personally I think rap puzzles is more difficult because number puzzles is something that is quite easy for Asian because we did a lot of difficult maths when we were young.
✓ Personally, I think word puzzles are more difficult because number puzzles are quite easy for Asians since we did a lot of difficult maths when we were young.
'Rap puzzles' seems to be a mishearing or typo for 'word puzzles'. Also, 'puzzles' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' not 'is'. 'Asian' should be plural 'Asians' to refer to people.
× Personally I think rap puzzles is more difficult because number puzzles is something that is quite easy for Asian because we did a lot of difficult maths when we were young.
✓ Personally, I think word puzzles are more difficult because number puzzles are quite easy for Asians since we did a lot of difficult maths when we were young.
'Rap puzzles' is likely a mispronunciation or error; 'word puzzles' fits the context better. Also, 'difficult maths' is acceptable but 'hard maths' or 'challenging maths' might be more natural.
× But for real puzzles, especially English ones, we didn't talk much in English so it's quite hard for me.
✓ But for word puzzles, especially English ones, I didn't speak much English so they are quite hard for me.
The pronoun 'we' is inconsistent with the speaker's personal experience; 'I' is more appropriate. Also, 'didn't talk much in English' is better as 'didn't speak much English'. 'It's' should be 'they are' to agree with plural 'puzzles'.
× Yes, it contains a lot of benefits for them if they do this because puzzles can train someone to think faster or like to improve their imagery analysis, as well as they can have extra time spending on some physical things instead of mobile phones.
✓ Yes, it has a lot of benefits for them if they do this because puzzles can train someone to think faster and improve their imagery analysis, as well as allow them to spend extra time on physical activities instead of mobile phones.
'Contains benefits' is incorrect; 'has benefits' is better. 'Like to improve' is awkward; 'and improve' is clearer. 'They can have extra time spending' is incorrect; 'allow them to spend extra time' is correct.
