Yes, I always keep a todo list for my work. It helps me stay organized and prioritize the tasks easier. I never forget the deadlines and the can easily be on top of my workload.

Examiner

Why don't some people like making lists?

Candidate

Some people don't like making a list because preparing a list needs an extra time and they think that they waste their time. Instead they want to go and start their work. But I believe that making a list helps to you to stay more organized.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?

Then, because my phone is always with me in my pocket and I have access to it when I finish a task, I can easily cross off the task, but I might forget to take the paper with me, so it's easier and more efficient.

Part 1

Do you make a list when you shop?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant with good reasons. To improve, make the response slightly more concise, fix minor phrasing (e.g., "at this store" → "when I shop") and add a linking word to connect ideas smoothly. Keep within 3–4 sentences and vary vocabulary (e.g., "essentials" → "staples").

Example: Yes, I always make a shopping list. It helps me prioritize staples and avoid buying unnecessary items, so I save both money and time when I shop.

Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Good content but there are grammar and clarity issues. Correct articles and phrasing ("a todo list" → "a to-do list"; "prioritize the tasks easier" → "prioritize tasks more easily"). Remove redundant phrases and ensure coherence with a linking word. Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I keep a to-do list for work because it helps me prioritize tasks more easily. As a result, I rarely miss deadlines and can stay on top of my workload.

Why don't some people like making lists?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question with reasons and an opinion, but grammar and natural phrasing need improvement. Fix articles and word order ("needs extra time", "they think it wastes their time"). Use linking words (e.g., "however") and avoid unnecessary repetition. Make the final opinion concise and polished.

Example: Some people dislike making lists because it takes extra time and they feel it wastes time; they prefer to start working immediately. However, I think lists help you stay much more organized.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: The answer gives clear reasons but begins awkwardly and is slightly long. Start directly with your preference (topic sentence), use a linking word like "because" for reasons, and avoid repeating similar ideas. Correct small phrasing issues ("cross off the task" → "cross tasks off"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I prefer making lists on my phone because it's always with me, so I can easily cross tasks off as I finish them. Paper lists are less convenient since I might forget to bring them.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I always make a list before going grocery shopping.

I always make a list before going grocery shopping.

No grammatical error; sentence is correct in present tense and needs no change.

Sentence structure errors

× It helps me prioritize the essentials and avoid spending on unnecessary items.

It helps me prioritize the essentials and avoid spending money on unnecessary items.

The phrase 'avoid spending on unnecessary items' is awkward because 'spending' usually needs an object (what is being spent). Adding 'money' clarifies the meaning and makes the sentence natural.

Present tense issue

× Also, planning ahead helps me save time at this store.

Also, planning ahead helps me save time when shopping.

'At this store' is awkward and too specific; 'when shopping' better matches the general context. This is a word choice/style adjustment rather than a strict grammatical error; tense is correct.

Article errors

× Yes, I always keep a todo list for my work.

Yes, I always keep a to-do list for my work.

'todo' should be hyphenated as 'to-do' to conform to standard written form; this is an orthographic/article formatting correction.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× It helps me stay organized and prioritize the tasks easier.

It helps me stay organized and prioritize tasks more easily.

'Prioritize the tasks easier' is ungrammatical because 'easier' is an adjective; the adverb 'more easily' is required to modify the verb 'prioritize'. Also 'the' before 'tasks' is unnecessary in this general context.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I never forget the deadlines and the can easily be on top of my workload.

I never forget the deadlines and can easily stay on top of my workload.

There is an incorrect pronoun/article 'the' before 'can' which makes the clause ungrammatical. Also 'be on top of' should be 'stay on top of' to express maintaining control; corrected sentence removes the stray 'the' and uses proper verb 'stay'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× Some people don't like making a list because preparing a list needs an extra time and they think that they waste their time.

Some people don't like making a list because preparing one takes extra time and they think they are wasting their time.

'Needs an extra time' is incorrect; use 'takes extra time'. 'Preparing a list' repeated is wordy; 'preparing one' is more natural. Use progressive 'are wasting' to describe their perception.

Sentence structure errors

× Instead they want to go and start their work.

Instead, they prefer to start working right away.

'Want to go and start their work' is awkward; 'prefer to start working right away' is a clearer, more natural structure. Added comma after 'Instead'.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× But I believe that making a list helps to you to stay more organized.

But I believe that making a list helps you to stay more organized.

The phrase 'helps to you to stay' has an extra 'to' and wrong word order. Correct pattern is 'helps you to stay' or 'helps you stay'.

Incorrect conjunction use

× Then, because my phone is always with me in my pocket and I have access to it when I finish a task, I can easily cross off the task, but I might forget to take the paper with me, so it's easier and more efficient.

Because my phone is always with me in my pocket and I have access to it when I finish a task, I can easily cross off tasks, but I might forget to take a paper list with me, so using my phone is easier and more efficient.

The original sentence begins with 'Then,' which is unnecessary. 'Cross off the task' should be plural 'tasks' to match general context. 'Take the paper' is vague; 'take a paper list' is clearer. Clarified the final clause by specifying 'using my phone' to avoid ambiguity and improved conjunction flow.
