考官
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
考生
I usually feel impatient when people learn very slowly because I believe that learning quickly helps us achieve our goals faster. However, through my work experience, I've realized that everyone has their own pace of learning and it's very important to be patient understanding. For example, some colleagues take longer to grasp new concepts but eventually succeed with time and constant support, which is great for team bonding and collaboration.
考官
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
考生
I'm quite the perfectionist, so taking my time to handle a particular project is just because I want the best out of it. There are times where I've had to create campaign ideas. I take my time just so it's outstanding.
考官
Does your job require you to be patient?
考生
All the time when I deal with angry customers or new crew members or even a colleague that I find annoying, I have to be calm just so I do not overreact. I get their sides of the story and I find a possible solution where it is required.
考官
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
考生
Obviously life as an adult, it's quite different from being a child. In this phase of my life I've met different people, even at work or any social gathering, and I've learnt to be calm and understanding over the years.
Are you a patient person?
分数: 75.0建议: You need to improve your sentence structure and avoid repetition. Also, try to use linking words to make your answer more coherent. For example, instead of repeating 'learns on their own pace', you can say 'everyone learns at their own pace, so I had to be patient with them.'
示例: I wasn't naturally patient, but working as a restaurant manager taught me to be. Since I worked with people of different ages and backgrounds, I realized that everyone learns at their own pace, so I had to be patient with them.

× I wasn't a patient person, but after working at a restaurant manager, I had to become one.
✓ I wasn't a patient person, but after working as a restaurant manager, I had to become one.
The phrase 'working at a restaurant manager' is incorrect because 'manager' is a role, not a place. The correct preposition is 'as' to indicate the role or position held. This is a preposition usage error, but since the instruction is to correct only grammar mistakes listed, and 'Incorrect use of prepositions' is ID 11, this correction is necessary.
× I worked with young people, old people, different character, way of approach, background.
✓ I worked with young people, old people, different characters, ways of approach, and backgrounds.
The sentence lists multiple items but uses singular nouns where plurals are needed. 'Character', 'way of approach', and 'background' should be plural to match the context of multiple types. This is a singular and plural issue (ID 1) and incorrect quantifier use (ID 14). Here, plural forms are necessary for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Everybody learns on their own pace or learns on their own pace.
✓ Everybody learns at their own pace.
The phrase 'on their own pace' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'at' when referring to pace. Also, the sentence repeats 'learns on their own pace' unnecessarily. This is an incorrect preposition issue (ID 11) and sentence structure issue (ID 26). The correction removes redundancy and fixes the preposition.
× I had just had to be patient with them.
✓ I just had to be patient with them.
The phrase 'had just had to' is awkward and redundant. The past perfect 'had had' is unnecessary here; simple past 'had to' suffices to indicate past obligation. This is a past tense issue (ID 5). Simplifying improves clarity and correctness.
× I usually feel impatient when people learn very slowly because I believe that learning quickly helps us achieve our goals faster.
✓ I usually feel impatient when people learn very slowly because I believe that learning quickly helps us achieve our goals more quickly.
The phrase 'helps us achieve our goals faster' is acceptable but 'more quickly' is more precise as it modifies the verb 'achieve'. This is an incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs issue (ID 13). Using 'more quickly' improves grammatical accuracy.
× it's very important to be patient understanding.
✓ it's very important to be patient and understanding.
The phrase 'patient understanding' is incorrect because 'patient' is an adjective and 'understanding' is a noun here. The intended meaning is to be both patient and understanding, so 'and' is needed to connect two adjectives. This is an incorrect conjunction use (ID 16) and incorrect use of adjectives (ID 13). Adding 'and' clarifies the meaning.
× I get their sides of the story and I find a possible solution where it is required.
✓ I get their side of the story and I find a possible solution where it is required.
The phrase 'their sides of the story' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'their side of the story' meaning each person's perspective. This is a singular and plural issue (ID 1). Using singular 'side' is idiomatic and grammatically correct.
