What languages can you speak?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 답변은 명확하지만 문장이 길고 약간의 중복과 문법 실수가 있습니다. 핵심 문장을 먼저 말한 뒤, 연결어를 사용해 구체적 이유와 예를 간결하게 덧붙이세요. 숫자 표기(three vs 3)는 단어로 쓰고, 'intermediate level of English which I use for study and sometimes at work'처럼 어색한 수식은 'which' 대신 연결어나 쉼표로 구조를 나누면 더 자연스럽습니다. 또한 'experience the culture' 대신 구체적 활동(음식, 관광지 방문 등)을 추가해 세부성을 높이세요.
Ví dụ: I speak three languages: Korean, English and some Japanese. I’m a native Korean speaker and I use English at an intermediate level for studying and occasionally for international work meetings. Recently I’ve started learning Japanese because I want to travel to Japan and experience local food and traditions.
Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 답변에서 이유 제시는 괜찮지만 예시가 다소 부자연스럽고 문법 오류(주어-동사 일치 등)와 어색한 표현('prove my speed')이 보입니다. 이유와 예시를 논리적으로 연결하고 구체적인 연습 방법(읽기, 회화 모임, 그림자 따라하기 등)을 언급해 설득력을 높이세요. 또한 문장 하나당 핵심만 담아 문장 수를 3~4문장 이내로 유지하세요.
Ví dụ: Yes, learning a new language is difficult because mastering grammar and becoming fluent takes a long time. For example, when I was a child I read English very slowly, so I practiced aloud every day and joined a conversation club to improve my speed and confidence.
Will you learn other languages in the future?
Điểm: 80.0Gợi ý: 전달하고자 하는 의도는 분명하지만 문장에 반복('definitely I will')과 약간의 어색한 연결이 있습니다. 이유(요리, 예술)를 말한 뒤 구체적 활동(어떤 음식, 어떤 박물관)이나 계획(언제, 어떻게 배울지)을 덧붙이면 더 풍부한 답변이 됩니다. 연결어(for example, so that)를 사용해 흐름을 자연스럽게 만드세요.
Ví dụ: Yes, I definitely plan to learn French because I love French cuisine and the visual arts. For example, I want to try regional dishes like coq au vin and visit the Louvre and smaller art museums to better understand their culture.

× I can speak 3 languages, I'm a native Korean speaker and I have a intermediate level of English which I use for study and sometimes at work, especially for international meetings.
✓ I can speak three languages. I'm a native Korean speaker and I have an intermediate level of English which I use for study and sometimes at work, especially for international meetings.
Use words for small numbers in formal writing or speech; write 'three' instead of the numeral '3'. This is a stylistic guidance rather than a strict grammar error, but it improves formality and consistency.
× For example, when I was a child, I used to read in English very slowly, so I practiced regularly to prove my speed and confidence.
✓ For example, when I was a child, I used to read in English very slowly, so I practiced regularly to improve my speed and confidence.
The verb 'prove' is incorrect in this context. 'Improve' correctly expresses making speed and confidence better. Use verbs that match the intended meaning.
× Yes, I definitely I will learn French because France is famous for its cuisine and arts, and I would like to experience its food and visit museums.
✓ Yes, I definitely will learn French because France is famous for its cuisine and arts, and I would like to experience its food and visit museums.
There is an extra subject 'I' after 'definitely'. Remove the redundant 'I' so the modal construction 'will learn' is correct and fluent.
× I hope to visit friends someday to explore its culture and festivals.
✓ I hope to visit friends someday to explore their culture and festivals.
The pronoun 'its' refers to a singular neuter noun (e.g., a country). When referring to 'friends' (plural people), use the plural possessive pronoun 'their'.
× I'll learn English for work because I plan to move to Canada to become an air traffic controller.
✓ I'm learning English for work because I plan to move to Canada to become an air traffic controller.
If the speaker is describing a current study plan, present continuous ('I'm learning') is more natural. If expressing a future intention, 'I will learn' is possible, but context indicates ongoing effort, so present continuous fits better.
× First of all, I need to be very fluent and having have a strong communication skills to handle radio calls and coordinate with pilots.
✓ First of all, I need to be very fluent and have strong communication skills to handle radio calls and coordinate with pilots.
The phrase contained 'having have' (redundant and ungrammatical) and a subject-verb mismatch 'a strong communication skills'. Use the base verb 'have' after 'need to be' and make 'skills' plural without the article 'a'.
× Also improving my listening and speaking will help me pass the certification exam.
✓ Also, improving my listening and speaking skills will help me pass the certification exam.
Add 'skills' to clarify nouns and add a comma after 'Also' for clarity. The gerund 'improving' is fine; ensure the noun phrase is complete by adding 'skills'.
