考官
How often do you wear T-shirts?
考生
I usually wear T-shirts maybe two to three times a week. I like that I can dress them up and dress them down. I can wear a blazer if I want to, or baggy jeans and sneakers, or I can have heels with the big flowy T-shirt and tighter jeans and make it more fashionable.
考官
Do you often buy T-shirts?
考生
I wouldn't say I buy T-shirts often it lasts 6 months. I've maybe bought two or three T-shirts, but I have to say I'm a bit of shopaholic. I love to buy stuff, but recently I've tried to be more careful of what I spend, so my spending is more limited now.

How fashionable are T-shirts for older people in your country?
考生
T-shirts are very fashionable here in Sweden and we really love following trends. The bad thing is sometimes we fall trends too much and we all become very alike. So people usually joke around and say that when would you see a Swedish person, you will see 2-3 copies of them behind them.
考官
Did you wear T-shirts when you were a kid?
考生
I'd say mostly I've worn T-shirts. When I was a kid, it was that or like baggy joggers or jeans. It's easier to just put on AT shirt than to put on a shirt or a dress or something like that. And my mom always had different types of T-shirts laying out for me that I would wear the next day to school.
How often do you wear T-shirts?
分數: 86.0建議: Your answer is natural, relevant and gives good examples, but it's a bit long and slightly repetitive. Aim for a clear topic sentence, one or two specific supporting details, and use linking words to make it concise. Also watch minor grammar: say "they last" instead of "it lasts" when referring to T-shirts in other answers.
範例: I usually wear T-shirts about two or three times a week. For example, I often pair a T-shirt with baggy jeans and sneakers for a casual look, or with a blazer and heels when I want something smarter.
Do you often buy T-shirts?
分數: 78.0建議: Good content and honesty, but the answer has grammatical issues and runs together. Split into a clear topic sentence and supporting detail, correct tenses and pronouns, and use linking words like "but" and "so" properly. Be specific about frequency or reason to strengthen the response.
範例: Not really — I only buy a few T-shirts a year, maybe two or three, because they generally last me six months. However, I used to shop more; recently I've cut back on spending to save money.

分數: 80.0建議: Your answer addresses the question and includes an opinion with an example, but contains some awkward phrasing and minor grammatical errors. Make sentences more concise and use linking words such as "however" or "for example". Replace unclear metaphors with clearer descriptions.

Did you wear T-shirts when you were a kid?
分數: 75.0建議: The answer is personal and relevant but has several grammar and phrasing issues and is slightly repetitive. Use a clear past-tense topic sentence, correct small mistakes ("a T-shirt", "laid out"), and limit to two supporting details with linking words like "because" or "so".
範例: Yes — I mostly wore T-shirts as a child because they were easy to put on. For example, my mother would lay out different T-shirts for me to wear to school, so I rarely wore dresses or formal shirts.
× I usually wear T-shirts maybe two to three times a week.
✓ I usually wear T-shirts maybe two or three times a week.
Use 'two or three' not 'two to three' in spoken frequency; 'two to three' is not ungrammatical but 'two or three' is more natural here. Use 'or' when listing alternatives.
× I like that I can dress them up and dress them down.
✓ I like that I can dress T-shirts up and dress them down.
Pronoun 'them' is ambiguous; repeating the noun clarifies reference. Also 'dress T-shirts up' is more natural word order than 'dress them up' following 'that'.
× I can wear a blazer if I want to, or baggy jeans and sneakers, or I can have heels with the big flowy T-shirt and tighter jeans and make it more fashionable.
✓ I can wear a blazer if I want to, or baggy jeans and sneakers, or heels with a big, flowy T-shirt and tighter jeans to make it more fashionable.
Use 'a' before 'big, flowy T-shirt' for one shirt; add comma between adjectives 'big' and 'flowy' (coordinate adjectives). Use 'to make it more fashionable' for purpose; streamline repetition.
× I wouldn't say I buy T-shirts often it lasts 6 months.
✓ I wouldn't say I buy T-shirts often; they last six months.
Run-on sentence needs punctuation; 'it lasts' is incorrect because 'T-shirts' is plural so use 'they last'. Also write numbers under ten in words in formal writing: 'six'.
× I've maybe bought two or three T-shirts, but I have to say I'm a bit of shopaholic.
✓ I've maybe bought two or three T-shirts, but I have to say I'm a bit of a shopaholic.
Use article 'a' before 'shopaholic'. 'I've maybe bought' is acceptable but 'maybe' is better placed as 'I've bought maybe two or three' for natural word order.
× I love to buy stuff, but recently I've tried to be more careful of what I spend, so my spending is more limited now.
✓ I love buying things, but recently I've tried to be more careful about what I spend, so my spending is more limited now.
Use 'buying' (gerund) or 'to buy' both ok; 'goods/stuff' replaced with 'things' for naturalness. Use preposition 'about' with 'careful' not 'of'.
× T-shirts are very fashionable here in Sweden and we really love following trends.
✓ T-shirts are very fashionable here in Sweden, and we really love following trends.
Add comma before 'and' for readability. Grammar is otherwise fine; no major preposition error though comma improves clarity.
× The bad thing is sometimes we fall trends too much and we all become very alike.
✓ The bad thing is that sometimes we follow trends too much and we all become very alike.
Use 'that' to introduce the clause; 'fall trends' is incorrect — correct verb is 'follow'. Keep adverb placement 'too much' after verb phrase.
× So people usually joke around and say that when would you see a Swedish person, you will see 2-3 copies of them behind them.
✓ So people usually joke and say that when you see a Swedish person, you will see two or three copies of them behind them.
Remove 'would' in indirect clause; use 'when you see' not 'when would you see'. Use 'two or three' instead of '2-3' and write numbers in words. 'Joke around' can be 'joke' here. The sentence is awkward with 'behind them' but preserved; consider 'dressed similarly' for clarity.
× I'd say mostly I've worn T-shirts.
✓ I'd say I mostly wore T-shirts.
When referring to habitual action in past ('when I was a kid'), use simple past 'wore' rather than present perfect 'I've worn'. Place 'mostly' before the verb for natural word order.
× When I was a kid, it was that or like baggy joggers or jeans.
✓ When I was a kid, it was either that or baggy joggers or jeans.
Use 'either' to present alternatives. Remove filler 'like' for clarity.
× It's easier to just put on AT shirt than to put on a shirt or a dress or something like that.
✓ It's easier to just put on a T-shirt than to put on a shirt, a dress, or something like that.
'AT' is a typo; should be 'a T-shirt'. Use articles 'a' before 'T-shirt' and 'shirt' and 'dress'. Add commas for list clarity.
× And my mom always had different types of T-shirts laying out for me that I would wear the next day to school.
✓ And my mom always had different types of T-shirts laid out for me that I would wear to school the next day.
Use past participle 'laid out' (not 'laying out') after 'had'. Place 'the next day' after 'school' or before for clarity; 'would wear to school the next day' is natural.
