Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Candidate
I prefer sad music because it helps me feel calm and reflective. For instance, when I stressed after work, I listen to slow piano pieces which soothe my mind.
Examiner
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
Candidate
No, I don't think so. I prefer sad music because it's helps me feel calm and reflective. For instance, when I stressed afterward I listen to slow piano pieces which soothe my mind.
Examiner
Have you taken any music classes?
Candidate
Yes, I have. I took piano lessons for three years when I was a child, and I also joined a school choir in high school. Those lessons improved my sense of reason and gave me confidence to perform.
Examiner
Do you listen to music while doing other things?
Candidate
Yes, I usually listen to music when I'm cooking because it helps me feel relaxed in Mr. Thai pass more quickly. For example, I usually play like soothing background the music.
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答总体清晰,直接说明了偏好并给出原因和例子。但可以更自然、精简,避免重复用词,例如将“calm and reflective”合并成更地道的表达;并用关联词使句子更连贯。注意时态和单数/复数等小错误。
Example: I prefer sad music because it helps me unwind and reflect. For example, after a stressful day at work I often listen to slow piano pieces, which calm my mind and help me relax.
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答意思明确但重复了之前的内容,且存在语法错误("it's helps"、"when I stressed afterward")。应直接回应问题并补充新的细节或对比,用连接词使回答更连贯,避免逐字重复。
Example: Not really. I find happy music energising for some people, but for me it can feel overwhelming. Instead, I usually choose mellow piano pieces after work because they steady my breathing and clear my thoughts.
Have you taken any music classes?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答结构良好,包含经历和效果。但用词不够准确,例如“sense of reason”不太自然,应该说“sense of rhythm”或“musicality”。可以用一两句具体细节说明学到的技能或难忘的经历。
Example: Yes. I took piano lessons for three years as a child and joined my high school choir. These classes improved my sense of rhythm and musical awareness, and gave me the confidence to perform at school concerts.
Do you listen to music while doing other things?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: 回答有意思但语法和表达问题较多,出现了明显的拼写和词序错误(例如“Mr. Thai pass more quickly”、“play like soothing background the music”)。需要纠正句子结构、使用恰当短语(e.g. "time pass"→"time pass"应为"time pass"不对,建议用"time passes"),并提供具体、连贯的例子。
Example: Yes, I often listen to music while cooking because it helps time pass more quickly and keeps me relaxed. For example, I usually play soft jazz or instrumental playlists as background music while I prepare meals.
× For instance, when I stressed after work, I listen to slow piano pieces which soothe my mind.
✓ For instance, when I am stressed after work, I listen to slow piano pieces which soothe my mind.
句子中使用了“when I stressed”不符合现在时态或现在分词结构。原意是说“当我下班后感到有压力时”,应使用现在时或现在分词被动/状态表达“am stressed”。因此改为“when I am stressed”,符合现在一般情况下的描述,保持时态一致性。建议:表示现在或习惯性状态时使用主语 + be 动词 + 形容词(如“am stressed”)。
× I prefer sad music because it's helps me feel calm and reflective.
✓ I prefer sad music because it helps me feel calm and reflective.
句子中出现了多余的缩写“it's helps”,主语与谓语不一致。正確用法為“it helps” (第三人称单数主语 it + 动词原形加 -s)。因此去掉多余的“'s”。建议:第三人称单数(he/she/it)在现在时动词后需要加 -s,但主语加了缩写助动词时不要再加动词-s。
× For instance, when I stressed afterward I listen to slow piano pieces which soothe my mind.
✓ For instance, when I am stressed afterwards, I listen to slow piano pieces which soothe my mind.
同样“when I stressed afterward”时态和形式不正确。应使用“when I am stressed”(现在状态)且副词位置常用“afterwards”或“after work”。另外在主句和从句之间需要逗号以便更清晰。建议:使用完整的 be 动词表达情绪状态,并将副词放在句末或适当位置。
× Those lessons improved my sense of reason and gave me confidence to perform.
✓ Those lessons improved my reasoning and gave me confidence to perform.
原句中的“sense of reason”用法不自然,语义偏差,但从语法角度“improved”与“gave”时态一致(过去时),主要需改为更地道的名词“reasoning”。建议:将不自然的搭配换成常用表达,例如“reasoning”表示思考能力。
× Yes, I usually listen to music when I'm cooking because it helps me feel relaxed in Mr. Thai pass more quickly.
✓ Yes, I usually listen to music when I'm cooking because it helps me feel relaxed and makes time pass more quickly.
原句“in Mr. Thai pass more quickly”明显为拼写/词序错误且结构混乱。根据语境应为“and makes time pass more quickly”表示“使时间过得更快”。同时保持现在进行/一般现在时的时态一致。建议:使用常见固定搭配“make time pass”并注意连接词和词序。
× For example, I usually play like soothing background the music.
✓ For example, I usually play soothing background music.
原句词序混乱且多余词“like”和“the”使用不当。正确结构为“play soothing background music”。建议:注意形容词顺序和限定词的位置,去掉多余词,使用常见搭配“soothing background music”。
