Yes, it is. I love the school where I work because of my students and my colleagues. My students are hardworking and they respect me. My colleagues are supportive and easy to get on with.
Examiner
Would you like the place where you work?

Do you work or are you a student?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 总体表达清晰,但有些冗余(如重复提到“毕业超过10年”和“工作超过10年”),句子可以更简洁有力。可使用一到两句直接回答职业和科目,再补充一句背景。注意时态和连贯性。
Example: I’ve been working for over ten years and I’m currently a secondary school history teacher. I graduated from university more than ten years ago, and I’ve been teaching history at various schools since then.
Where do you work?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: 回答直接且信息具体,但可以更自然地用连接词把信息衔接起来,避免重复“work as a teacher”。可把地点、时长和教授年级合并成一个或两句。
Example: I work at a secondary school about a ten-minute drive from my home, and I’ve been there for roughly three years teaching Grade 12 students.
Is it a good place to work?
Score: 92.0Suggestion: 结构很好:先肯定再给出具体理由。可以使用一个连接词使理由更连贯,并加入一两个具体例子以增强说服力(例如同事如何支持你或学生表现的具体例子)。
Example: Yes, it is. I love working there because my students are hardworking and respectful, and my colleagues are very supportive — for example, they helped me develop a new curriculum last term.
Would you like the place where you work?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答结构清楚但用词略显尴尬(如“relatively good income”与“free”后缺少名词)。建议更自然地表达薪酬和福利,并使用更地道的词汇和流畅的连接句。
Example: Yes, I do. Mainly because the salary is quite reasonable and the school offers good benefits. Also, there’s a nice canteen that provides free, tasty meals for staff.
What are your future work plans?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答覆盖要点但表达重复且有犹豫词(Uh, besides Besides)。建议直接陈述未来计划,提供更具体的目标和时间框架,例如继续任教、考取证书或具体的学习计划,避免填充词。用一两句说明职业计划,随后给出具体个人发展举措。
Example: I plan to continue teaching at this school — in fact, I’ve just renewed my contract for another year. I also want to invest in my professional development by taking a history education course next year and reading more books to improve my teaching methods.
× I have graduated from university more than 10 years ago.
✓ I graduated from university more than 10 years ago.
这句中同时使用了现在完成时(have graduated)和过去时间状语(more than 10 years ago),在英语中不应混用。带有明确过去时间的句子应使用一般过去时。建议把动词改为一般过去时:"I graduated..."。
× I teach grade 12 students.
✓ I teach Grade 12 students.
“grade”在表示年级作为正式名称时应大写为 Grade。虽然不是严格的语法错误,但属于用词/大小写规范问题,改为"Grade 12"更符合书写习惯。
× I work as a teacher at a secondary school which is not far from where I live.
✓ I work as a teacher at a secondary school that is not far from where I live.
在限定性定语从句中,使用 that 比 which 更常见且自然(尤其是在非正式口语中)。将 which 换成 that 更符合习惯表达。
× I like the place where I work for two main reasons. The first reason is that this school provides me with relatively good income.
✓ I like the place where I work for two main reasons. The first reason is that this school provides me with a relatively good income.
名词 income 前通常需要冠词 a when described as 'a relatively good income'。在此应加不定冠词 a。
× Another reason I like working there is that the school has a good canteen which provides nice food and free.
✓ Another reason I like working there is that the school has a good canteen which provides nice food for free.
原句中 'and free' 结构不完整,应使用短语 'for free' 表示免费。此外可保留 which 或改为 that;此处保留 which。
× When it comes to my future work plans, I'd like to continue to work for the school.
✓ When it comes to my future work plans, I'd like to continue working for the school.
动词短语 'continue to work' 可改为动名词 'continue working' 更自然,两者皆可,但在口语中 'continue working' 更流畅,避免冗余。
× Actually, I have renewed my contract with the school.
✓ Actually, I renewed my contract with the school.
句中未给出与现在关联的时间点,若想表达过去某一时间完成的动作且与现在无直接联系,用一般过去时 'renewed' 更合适;如果确实想强调对现在的影响,可保留现在完成时并增加时间连贯性。
× Uh, beside Besides, I also want to invest energy and time in myself.
✓ Besides, I also want to invest energy and time in myself.
句中出现重复连接词 'Uh, beside Besides',应去掉多余部分,仅保留 'Besides,'。此外 'invest energy and time in myself' 表达可以接受,但口语中更常见 'invest time and energy in myself',建议调整顺序以更自然:'invest time and energy in myself'。
× For example, I want to read more books.
✓ For example, I want to read more books.
该句无明显语法错误,保持原句即可。提供建议:句子正确,无需修改。
