Part 1
考官
How do you like geography?
考生
I really like geography and it was for sure one of my favorite subject in my childhood. I like imagining what is the lifestyle in the other area is like and I exercise my brain.
考官
Do you think geography is useful?
考生
I think it is quite useful. Of course, geography includes lots of elements, but one of them is reading the maps. If I can read the maps, we will not get lost on on our way to the destination. So it is quite helpful in our daily lives.
考官
Have you ever learned geography?
考生
Yes, I have ever learned geography because it was one of the mandatory subjects at schools. At elementary school, junior high school, and high school. It is mandatory to learn geography in Japan.
考官
Do you want to be a geography teacher?
考生
Unfortunately, I do not want to be a geography teacher, more like I do not want to be a teacher. I find my current job more fascinating in terms of getting the impacts to the society. So I do not want to become a geography teacher nor a teacher.
考官
Will you learn more about the geography of other countries?
考生
I hope to learn more about the geography of other countries because it helps me gain a deeper understanding of their culture and environment. For example, knowing a country's climate and landscape would help me understand why people live in certain areas and how their traditions developed.

× I really like geography and it was for sure one of my favorite subject in my childhood.
✓ I really liked geography and it was for sure one of my favorite subjects in my childhood.
Use past tense 'liked' to match 'in my childhood' (past time). Also 'subject' is countable and should be plural 'subjects' after 'one of my favorite'. Use of articles: 'my favorite subjects' is correct.
× I like imagining what is the lifestyle in the other area is like and I exercise my brain.
✓ I like imagining what the lifestyle in other areas is like and I exercise my brain.
Subject-verb agreement and noun number: 'the other area' is awkward; use plural 'other areas' when speaking generally. Keep verb 'is' to agree with singular 'lifestyle'. Removed extra 'is' before 'the other area' and adjusted word order to be natural.
× If I can read the maps, we will not get lost on on our way to the destination.
✓ If I can read maps, we will not get lost on our way to the destination.
When speaking generally about map-reading, omit the definite article: 'read maps' not 'read the maps'. Also remove duplicate 'on'. 'On our way' is the correct prepositional phrase.
× If I can read the maps, we will not get lost on on our way to the destination.
✓ If I can read maps, we will not get lost on our way to the destination.
Conditional sentence type: Using present simple 'can' and future 'will' is acceptable for real conditions. Main correction addressed articles and duplicate word; tense is appropriate.
× Yes, I have ever learned geography because it was one of the mandatory subjects at schools.
✓ Yes, I have learned geography because it was one of the mandatory subjects at school.
'Have ever learned' is incorrect in affirmative context; use 'have learned' or 'have studied'. Also use 'at school' (general) rather than 'at schools'. 'Was one of the mandatory subjects' stays past because referring to the past.
× At elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
✓ I studied it at elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a verb. Add 'I studied it' to complete the sentence and clarify the subject and action.
× It is mandatory to learn geography in Japan.
✓ It is mandatory to learn geography in Japan.
Sentence is grammatically correct; kept as is. Mentioned here for completeness.
× Unfortunately, I do not want to be a geography teacher, more like I do not want to be a teacher.
✓ Unfortunately, I do not want to be a geography teacher; rather, I do not want to be a teacher at all.
Use 'rather' to contrast; replace the comma splice with a semicolon or separate sentences. 'More like' is informal and unidiomatic in this context; 'at all' emphasizes general statement.
× I find my current job more fascinating in terms of getting the impacts to the society.
✓ I find my current job more fascinating in terms of having an impact on society.
Use noun phrase 'an impact' or 'impact' not 'the impacts'. Preposition 'on society' is correct rather than 'to the society'. 'Getting the impacts' is awkward; 'having an impact' is natural.
× So I do not want to become a geography teacher nor a teacher.
✓ So I do not want to become a geography teacher or a teacher.
Use 'or' for negative alternatives (not ... or ...) rather than 'nor' which requires inversion or different structure. Simplifies and corrects sentence structure.
× I hope to learn more about the geography of other countries because it helps me gain a deeper understanding of their culture and environment.
✓ I hope to learn more about the geography of other countries because it will help me gain a deeper understanding of their cultures and environments.
When expressing a future benefit from a future action, 'will help' is more appropriate than 'helps'. Also pluralize 'culture' and 'environment' to match 'other countries'.
× For example, knowing a country's climate and landscape would help me understand why people live in certain areas and how their traditions developed.
✓ For example, knowing a country's climate and landscape helps me understand why people live in certain areas and how their traditions developed.
Mixing modal 'would' with present general statement is inconsistent. If referring to a general truth from knowledge, use present 'helps'. Past 'developed' is fine if traditions developed in the past; alternatively use 'develop' for general process. Either: 'helps... and how their traditions developed' is acceptable.
