Part 1
考官
Do you have any hobbies?
考生
Yes I do. I have plenty actually. I do all sorts of thing whenever I am free, like cooking, gardening or just walking in the evening. But I love cooking the most because I can enjoy the food at the end of my cooking.
考官
Did you have any hobbies when you were a child?
考生
Yes, I did. I remember I used to love drawing all sorts of things when I was younger. Especially I prefer to draw guards because I thought they were so majestic and beautiful, and I used to draw them frequently for my school projects too.
考官
Do you have a hobby that you've had since childhood?
考生
Yes, ever since I was young, I used to love cooking because I was a foodie. Since I was younger, my mother used to introduce me to various cuisines and I learned eventually with her. And still I love making new recipes and trying.
考官
Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
考生
No, I don't as we have different personalities to our own. We don't share any hobbies at all because my brother is very outgoing, he loves sports. On the other hand, I hate going out and I prefer indoor activities like cooking or gardening in my house.
Do you have any hobbies?
分數: 78.0建議: Your answer is generally natural and relevant, but it is slightly repetitive and contains minor grammatical issues (e.g., plural/singular agreement and word forms). To improve, make your response more concise, correct small errors, and vary vocabulary. Use a clear topic sentence, one or two supporting details with a linking word, and finish with a brief consequence or feeling. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
範例: Yes — I have several hobbies. I enjoy cooking, gardening and evening walks, but cooking is my favourite because I get to try new recipes and enjoy the results. For example, last week I experimented with a Thai curry and it turned out great, which motivated me to try more cuisines.
Did you have any hobbies when you were a child?
分數: 80.0建議: Good clear answer with specific detail (drawing guards). Improve by fixing tense consistency and small phrasing (e.g., "I used to prefer drawing guards" or "I especially liked drawing guards"). Add a linking word and limit to 2–3 supporting sentences to sound more fluent.
範例: Yes, I did. I loved drawing when I was a child; I especially liked sketching guards because they looked majestic. As a result, I often used those drawings for school projects and enjoyed practicing different poses.
Do you have a hobby that you've had since childhood?
分數: 75.0建議: The content is good and personal, but tense usage and phrasing are awkward (e.g., "used to love" with "still I love"; "learned eventually with her"). Make the timeline clear: past influence leading to a present habit. Use linking words like "because" or "so" and concise phrasing.
範例: Yes — cooking has been a hobby since childhood because my mother introduced me to many cuisines. She taught me basic techniques, so I kept experimenting and now I still enjoy creating new recipes.
Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
分數: 72.0建議: Your answer is clear and relevant, but the tone is a little strong ("I hate going out") and there are grammar issues ("different personalities to our own"). Soften language, correct grammar, and use linking words to contrast (e.g., "whereas" or "while"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and give a brief example of a family activity difference.
範例: No, we have different interests. My brother is outgoing and enjoys team sports, whereas I prefer quieter indoor hobbies like cooking and gardening, so we usually spend our free time separately.
× I do all sorts of thing whenever I am free, like cooking, gardening or just walking in the evening.
✓ I do all sorts of things whenever I am free, like cooking, gardening, or just walking in the evening.
The phrase 'all sorts of' requires a plural noun; 'thing' should be 'things'. Suggestion: use 'things' after 'all sorts of' to match plurality.
× But I love cooking the most because I can enjoy the food at the end of my cooking.
✓ But I love cooking the most because I can enjoy the food I cook.
The original phrase 'at the end of my cooking' is awkward and unidiomatic. Use a simple relative clause 'the food I cook' to express that you eat what you prepare. Suggestion: replace the phrase with 'the food I cook' or 'what I cook'.
× Especially I prefer to draw guards because I thought they were so majestic and beautiful, and I used to draw them frequently for my school projects too.
✓ I especially preferred to draw guards because I thought they were so majestic and beautiful, and I used to draw them frequently for my school projects.
Mixing present 'prefer' with past context 'when I was a child' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'preferred' to match 'I thought' and 'used to'. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout when talking about childhood.
× Yes, ever since I was young, I used to love cooking because I was a foodie.
✓ Yes, ever since I was young, I have loved cooking because I was a foodie.
The phrase 'ever since I was young' indicates a continuing situation up to the present, so present perfect 'have loved' is appropriate rather than 'used to', which suggests a past habit no longer true. Suggestion: use present perfect for actions that started in the past and continue now.
× Since I was younger, my mother used to introduce me to various cuisines and I learned eventually with her.
✓ Since I was younger, my mother introduced me to various cuisines and I eventually learned from her.
'Used to introduce' is acceptable but 'Since I was younger' with 'used to' is awkward; simpler past 'introduced' fits. Also 'learned eventually with her' is incorrect preposition and word order: use 'learned from her' and place 'eventually' before the verb phrase. Suggestion: use 'introduced' and 'eventually learned from her'.
× And still I love making new recipes and trying.
✓ And I still love making new recipes and trying them out.
The verb 'trying' requires an object or idiomatic phrase 'trying them out' to be clear. Suggestion: add an object 'them' and 'out' for idiomatic expression.
× No, I don't as we have different personalities to our own.
✓ No, I don't; we have different personalities of our own.
The original 'different personalities to our own' is ungrammatical. Use 'of our own' to indicate possession and individuality. Also include a connector or punctuation after 'No, I don't' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'we have different personalities of our own'.
× We don't share any hobbies at all because my brother is very outgoing, he loves sports.
✓ We don't share any hobbies at all because my brother is very outgoing and he loves sports.
This is a run-on joined by a comma splice. Use 'and' to join independent clauses or make two sentences. Suggestion: replace comma with 'and' or use a semicolon.
× On the other hand, I hate going out and I prefer indoor activities like cooking or gardening in my house.
✓ On the other hand, I hate going out and prefer indoor activities like cooking or gardening at home.
'Prefer' does not need 'I' repeated; 'in my house' is awkward—use 'at home'. Suggestion: streamline sentence by removing repeated subject and use natural phrase 'at home'.
