Part 1
Examiner
Where is your school?
Candidate
Well, I have graduated from my school for many years. I remember my primary school was in a remote village which was quite remote. My Senior High School was in the town which was very big.
Examiner
Do you like your school?
Candidate
Actually, I didn't like my junior and Senior High School life because it was so tough and strict for students. We had to wear uniforms and we didn't have much free time. But I do like my college life.
Examiner
Do you think your school is a good place to study?
Candidate
Yes I do. My school is absolutely an ideal place for students to study. One reason is that there are many excellent and experienced teachers in my school. They are helpful and professional.
Examiner
What is the environment like at your school?
Candidate
Well, I would like to introduce you some natural environment at my school. My school is relatively large and the well equipped. There are a lot of trees and flowers which are beautiful and the buildings were new.
Examiner
How important is interest in study?
Candidate
I have to say that when it comes to studying, interest plays an vital role because if a student doesn't have interest in something, there is no possibility for him or her to focus on what he or she is learning.
Where is your school?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答重复冗长,信息不够直接且有重复词(如“remote”重复)。建议先用一句话直接回答地点,然后用1–2句简短具体细节补充,避免重复词汇,使用连接词使句子更连贯。比如可说明学校的类型、位置与规模或环境的差异。
Example: I attended different schools: my primary school was in a small remote village, while my senior high was in a large town. The village school was quiet and surrounded by fields, but the town school was busier and had more facilities.
Do you like your school?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答较清晰但可以更自然、简洁并加入原因支持。建议开门见山说明喜欢与否,然后用一两个具体原因和连接词(because, however)支撑观点,控制在3–4句内。不要重复“大写与小写”问题(junior and Senior High)。
Example: I didn't enjoy my junior and senior high schools because they were very strict and left little free time. For example, we wore uniforms every day and had long study hours. However, I really liked college because it offered more freedom and interesting courses.
Do you think your school is a good place to study?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答结构清楚但用词有些绝对(“absolutely ideal”),可更自然并增加具体例子说明老师如何优秀(如教学方法、辅导时间)。建议保持简洁并用连接词(for example, because)增强说服力。
Example: Yes, I think it's a great place to study because it has many experienced teachers who explain things clearly and offer extra help after class. For example, several teachers run weekly tutoring sessions that improve students' understanding.
What is the environment like at your school?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答有语法和表达错误(如“the well equipped”,时态问题),且句子略零散。建议先用一句总体描述,再用1–2个具体细节支持,注意语法(is well-equipped, buildings are new)。可用连接词(for example, also)提高连贯性。
Example: The campus is quite pleasant and well-equipped. For example, it has modern buildings, many trees and flower beds, and spacious playgrounds that make studying there comfortable.
How important is interest in study?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 观点明确但表达较冗长且重复代词(he or she)显累赘。建议用更自然的表达并举具体例子或结果支持观点,使用连接词(because, for instance)使论证更有说服力。
Example: Interest is very important because it helps students stay focused and motivated. For instance, when I'm interested in a topic I spend more time practicing and usually remember it better.
× Well, I have graduated from my school for many years.
✓ Well, I graduated from my school many years ago.
原句使用現在完成時(have graduated)搭配表示過去明確時間長度(for many years)不合適。當描述在過去某個時點已經完成的動作並且強調發生在很久以前時,應使用一般過去時並用 ago 表示“很多年前”。建議用法:使用過去式 + many years ago。
× I remember my primary school was in a remote village which was quite remote.
✓ I remember my primary school was in a remote village.
原句重複使用 remote,造成冗餘。可刪除重複的形容詞以保持語句簡潔。建議檢查是否重複表達相同意思,僅保留一個描述詞。
× My Senior High School was in the town which was very big.
✓ My senior high school was in a town that was quite large.
1) ‘Senior High School’ 不需要大寫首字母,除非為正式校名。2) 此處應使用不定冠詞 a town(不是 the town,除非特指某城鎮)。3) 用 that 或 which 作限定性從句時用法上更自然;並且用 large 替代 big 更符合書面英語。建議:小寫職稱類詞,正確使用冠詞,並避免過度直譯。
× Actually, I didn't like my junior and Senior High School life because it was so tough and strict for students.
✓ Actually, I didn't like my junior high and senior high school life because it was so tough and strict for students.
1) 保持過去時一致(didn't like 已為過去式,句中其他部分用過去描述)。2) junior high 和 senior high 這類詞通常小寫。3) 句中原為正確時態,但需统一大小寫及詞序。建議保持時態一致並正確使用小寫。
× We had to wear uniforms and we didn't have much free time.
✓ We had to wear uniforms, and we didn't have much free time.
原句語法正確,只需加入連接符號逗號使語流更自然。無主謂不一致問題。建議在並列句中使用逗號連接以改善可讀性。
× But I do like my college life.
✓ But I liked my college life.
根據前文談的是對學校生活的回憶,應使用過去時 liked(如果講者已畢業)。若講者仍在讀書,則可保留現在時。請根據實際情況選擇時態:已畢業用過去式,仍在讀用現在式。
× One reason is that there are many excellent and experienced teachers in my school.
✓ One reason is that there are many excellent, experienced teachers at my school.
原句基本正確。小調整:用逗號分隔形容詞,並用 at my school 更常見於談論學校位置。建議保持 teachers 為複數且使用 there are 結構。
× They are helpful and professional.
✓ They were helpful and professional.
若描述過去任教的老師(講者已畢業),應使用過去式 were。若講者仍在校則保持現在式 are。建議根據整體時態一致性調整。
× Well, I would like to introduce you some natural environment at my school.
✓ Well, I would like to introduce to you some of the natural environment at my school.
動詞 introduce 通常需要介詞 to(introduce to you),且在表示部分時常用 some of the ... 或 simply talk about。原句缺少 to 並且環境可數與不可數表達上用 some of the natural environment 更自然。建議學會常見動詞搭配(collocations),如 introduce somebody to something。
× My school is relatively large and the well equipped.
✓ My school is relatively large and well equipped.
原句中 the well equipped 中 the 不應出現,且 equipped 作形容詞與 well 搭配形成固定結構 well equipped。建議刪除多餘冠詞。
× There are a lot of trees and flowers which are beautiful and the buildings were new.
✓ There were a lot of beautiful trees and flowers, and the buildings were new.
句中前半用現在時 are,後半用過去時 were,時態不一致。因為談整體學校環境並多為過去回憶,建議使用過去時 were;同時將形容詞位置調整使語序更自然。建議保持全句時態一致。
× I have to say that when it comes to studying, interest plays an vital role because if a student doesn't have interest in something, there is no possibility for him or her to focus on what he or she is learning.
✓ I have to say that when it comes to studying, interest plays a vital role because if a student doesn't have an interest in something, there is little possibility for him or her to focus on what he or she is learning.
1) plays an vital → 應為 plays a vital(an 用於以元音音素開頭的單詞)。2) lack of article before interest → have interest 用法不自然,應為 have an interest 或 be interested in。3) there is no possibility → 用 little possibility 更自然也更符合語氣。建議學習不定冠詞的使用規則和固定搭配,如 play a role, have an interest / be interested in。
