Joe: How do you feel about the fact there are 25 people on the course now? There were only 10 when I started.

I have been attending English speaking class for 1 year since 2016. There were only 10  when I started attending this class. English teacher tough TAUGHT English language to me very well. I understood  my lesson because he explained to understand about it to me again and again.
The people attending in this class don't want to be absent AND to attend  this class everyday because THE English teacher's teaching is very good for them. The people who had attended this class told about it to another people. "The teacher who teachES English to me is very clever and patient. hHe is able to teach English to me cleanly CLEARLY . I don't DIDN'T understand before how to speak English. When I had attended this class I can speak English very well. If you want to speak English very well you should attend this class. I want you to attend this class. Are you going to come with me?" The people told ME THEY are very interested in English and want to attend this class, so they came to attend English speaking class with me.
There are 25 people on the course at the present. tThere are many people so we can discuss, ask and speak with each other. I think there are many people because THE English teacher's teaching is so clean CLEAR and easy for me.
So I am  enjoyable in this class
PHILLIP
Thanks, Maw. The problem here is that you haven't really answered the question. There is a lot of information that is not really related to the question. Also your answer is much too long. You should only write 30 words in this part.

Moreover, we helped each other and tried hard together. Now I'm more convenient COMFORTABLE as I have many new friends. And then I feel enjoy in the class.
PHILLIP

So that is enough for 25 persons PEOPLE. Therefore I can learn a course confortable IN COMFORT/COMFORTABLY and I think that 25 people are fair for a course. Everything is ok and then all classmates are very affability, AFFABLE ['FRIENDLY' IS BETTER] so I feel warm and happy. If you was I YOU WERE ME, how would you feel for 25, Joe?
PHILLIP
Some good English here but it's too long.

We can sharing SHARE many knowledges to WITH each other. It can be many VERY helpful for my lessons. Moreover, we can play together thus we can get FEEL warmly and lovely. Therefore, I'm more satisfied of WITH my student life than AT the begInning.

Good answer but a little bit too long]]> 2017-03-15 15:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/160280454 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/160420375 I feel it is better than when I begin BEGAN the class. I'll get many friends and I can suggest about the language. I also visit to their hometown and I would like to learn ABOUT their lifestyle, cultures and local food. In the early BEGINNING , I think the course isWAS  feeling bored A BIT BORING as there has WERE ONLY a few people. But more than 25 people are not good. I don't like noisy PLACES.
Phillip
A good answer but:
1) It's too long
2) Be careful with present and past tenses]]> 2017-03-16 03:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/160420375 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/160460270 I thought that the course is not interesting but I gradually get happy. I want to know more and more ABOUT Japan’s costumes and lifestyle. While I am attending the course, I would like to visit there more.
Phillip
Good English but does it really answer the question? What about the increase in student numbers?

It's very happy and lovely for me. I'll warmly welcome them when new classmates will come in the course. Firsty, I'll greet THEM BY SAYING '' Hello'' and ''Hill'' and I'll greet INTRODUCE them  with TO my old classmates. And I'll like TRY to support their needs. I'll like to explain the course that AND TELL THEM they want to know about it.
MoreOver, I'd like to compare my ideas WITH them. If I had HAVE classmates more and more classmates, I'll get a lot of knowledge. So, I'm very fantastic. And, I'll know about people' minds, behaviours and others cases more and more. Actually, new classmate'll WILL increase in the course more than the original, this message is very great and valuable for me. How about you?

It is a big room in the training center. I have got MADE new friends. Moreover, we can share and discuss to WITH  each other. And than, there is convenient for us. If we learn many students we'll be more enjoyable ENJOY OURSELVES MORE . Therefore HOWEVER (?), it THERE must be enough room for 25 learners.

Thanks, Lae.

1) Length
You should only write about 30 words. Some of you wrote over 100 words! Remember that you have 10 minutes for all of section 3, so only about 3 minutes per question. 
2) Clarity
Keep your answer simple, especially the first sentence.
3) Answer the question you were asked
Some of the answers did not relate very clearly to the question.
4) Formality
Most if the writing was too formal. You were writing in a chat room, so use informal language (contractions I'm not I am, short sentences etc)
Specific Language points
1) enjoy
enjoy something
enjoy myself/ourselves
something is enjoyable
2) ed ing
Something is interesting
I am interested
3) make friends with 
4) 'knowledge' is never plural
5) 1 person 2 people]]> 2017-03-19 05:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/160967097 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/175985247 2017-06-11 10:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/175985247 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/175985253 2017-06-11 10:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/175985253 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/178457597 2017-07-11 08:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/178457597 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/230925774 2018-02-13 07:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/230925774 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/230925838 2018-02-13 07:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/230925838 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/253904287 2018-04-20 16:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/253904287 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/253904298 2018-04-20 16:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/253904298 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/253904309 2018-04-20 16:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/253904309 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/263405176 2018-05-24 16:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/263405176 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/263405193 2018-05-24 16:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/263405193 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/267953051 2018-06-20 13:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/267953051 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/267953054 2018-06-20 13:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/267953054 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/270404820 2018-07-17 10:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/270404820 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/270404823 2018-07-17 10:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/270404823 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/270433487 2018-07-17 16:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/270433487 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/273447277 2018-08-16 10:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/273447277 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/273447283 2018-08-16 11:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/273447283 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/293306278 2018-10-16 13:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/293306278 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/293306302 2018-10-16 13:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/293306302 https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/307078355 2018-11-22 17:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/307078355 canrami https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/361347225 2019-05-18 00:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/361347225 canrami https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/361347227 2019-05-18 00:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nptbritishcouncil/aptiswriting/wish/361347227
