Part 1

Examiner

Do you enjoy studying science at school?

Candidate

Yes, I enjoy studying science at school, especially biology. When I was in middle school, I watched the documentary Planet Earth, which sparkled my interest in how ecosystems work and animal behavior. And that curiosity is one reason I chose pharmacy as my field.

Examiner

Do you use your science knowledge daily?

Candidate

Yes, I often apply my science knowledge in everyday life. For example, two months ago on a trip to another Chinese city, I identified several local plant species and recognized the surrounding landforms, which helped me appreciate the landscape and peak safer walking roads.

Examiner

Is there a science subject you’d like to learn more about?

Candidate

Yes, I would like to learn about biology. I became fascinated with it in middle school after watching the documentary Planet Earth, especially the segment on animal behavior and ecosystems. And I would love to study ecology in more depth by taking an online university course or joining a local field club.

Examiner

Is it important for everyone to study science?

Candidate

Yes, I think different branches of science are important for everyone. For example, studying physics helps people develop data, analyze and problem solving skills, while biology and geography help us understand ecosystems and how landscapes form, which is useful for making informed decisions about the environment.

Examiner

Do you like watching science TV programs?

Candidate

Yes, I really enjoy watching science TV programs because they help me learn more about the natural work. For example, I watched the documentary Planet Earth when I was in middle school and I found it fascinating, especially the clear explanations of animal behavior and ecosystems.

Part 1

Do you enjoy studying science at school?

Score: 86.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct minor word choice errors (“sparked” not “sparkled”). Maintain a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail and a brief link to current studies or goals. Keep it within 3–4 sentences to sound natural and focused.

Example: Yes, I enjoy studying science at school, especially biology. I first became interested in ecosystems after watching the documentary Planet Earth in middle school, which sparked my curiosity about animal behavior. That interest later influenced my decision to study pharmacy, where I focus on biological principles relevant to medicine.

Do you use your science knowledge daily?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Correct small grammar and word-choice issues (“peak” should be “pick” or better: “choose”/“plan”) and reduce redundancy. Be more specific about how the knowledge helped (e.g., identifying poisonous plants, choosing safe paths) and use a linking phrase to connect example to the main point.

Example: Yes, I often apply science in everyday life. For example, on a recent trip I identified local plant species and read the landforms, which helped me avoid poisonous plants and choose safer walking routes. This practical use shows how useful scientific knowledge can be.

Is there a science subject you’d like to learn more about?

Score: 90.0

Suggestion: Good structure and clear motivation. Tighten phrasing slightly (avoid repeating the same documentary detail) and use a concise plan for study. Use linking words like “therefore” or “so” to connect fascination to concrete steps.

Example: Yes, I’d like to learn more about biology, particularly ecology. I was fascinated by animal behavior and ecosystems after watching Planet Earth, so I plan to take an online university course and join a local field club to gain practical field experience.

Is it important for everyone to study science?

Score: 84.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar and collocation (“develop data” should be “develop skills in handling data” or “data analysis”). Make the comparison clearer and add a short linking word to keep flow. Keep sentences concise and specific about benefits.

Example: Yes, I think everyone benefits from studying science. For instance, physics teaches data handling and problem-solving skills, while biology and geography help us understand ecosystems and land-formation processes, which supports better environmental decisions.

Do you like watching science TV programs?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Fix a word error (“natural work” should be “natural world”) and avoid repeating the same documentary story used earlier; try to give a different example or explain what you learned recently. Keep it short and link enjoyment to a concrete benefit.

Example: Yes, I enjoy science TV programs because they explain the natural world in an engaging way. For example, a recent episode on conservation gave me practical ideas for reducing plastic use, which I then applied at home to help local wildlife.

Grammar

Verb in the past participle form

× When I was in middle school, I watched the documentary Planet Earth, which sparkled my interest in how ecosystems work and animal behavior.

When I was in middle school, I watched the documentary Planet Earth, which sparked my interest in how ecosystems work and animal behavior.

The verb 'sparkled' is incorrect here because 'spark' in the meaning 'to cause interest' uses the past form 'sparked' (past simple) or past participle 'sparked', not 'sparkled' which usually means 'to give off sparks' or 'to shine'. Use 'sparked' to convey that the documentary caused interest.

Sentence structure errors

× And that curiosity is one reason I chose pharmacy as my field.

That curiosity is one reason I chose pharmacy as my field of study.

The original sentence is understandable but 'as my field' is awkward; adding 'of study' clarifies the noun phrase. Also avoid starting sentences with 'And' in formal speech; remove 'And' for better sentence structure.

Incorrect prepositions

× For example, two months ago on a trip to another Chinese city, I identified several local plant species and recognized the surrounding landforms, which helped me appreciate the landscape and peak safer walking roads.

For example, two months ago on a trip to another Chinese city, I identified several local plant species and recognized the surrounding landforms, which helped me appreciate the landscape and pick safer walking routes.

'Peak safer walking roads' is incorrect: 'peak' is wrong verb and 'roads' is less appropriate than 'routes' or 'paths' for walking. Use 'pick' (choose) and 'routes' to convey selecting safer walking paths. This fixes word choice and prepositional/phrase usage.

Verb in the present participle form

× Yes, I would like to learn about biology. I became fascinated with it in middle school after watching the documentary Planet Earth, especially the segment on animal behavior and ecosystems. And I would love to study ecology in more depth by taking an online university course or joining a local field club.

Yes, I would like to learn about biology. I became fascinated with it in middle school after watching the documentary Planet Earth, especially the segment on animal behavior and ecosystems. I would love to study ecology in more depth by taking an online university course or joining a local field club.

Start sentences without coordinating conjunction 'And' in formal responses. Removing 'And' improves cohesion. No verb form error beyond stylistic issue, but the instruction requires matching types; this is treated as present participle/structure style correction to conform to formal sentence starts.

Incorrect use of nouns/adjectives (incorrect use of nouns/adverbs)

× For example, studying physics helps people develop data, analyze and problem solving skills, while biology and geography help us understand ecosystems and how landscapes form, which is useful for making informed decisions about the environment.

For example, studying physics helps people develop data analysis and problem-solving skills, while biology and geography help us understand ecosystems and how landscapes form, which is useful for making informed decisions about the environment.

The phrase 'develop data, analyze and problem solving skills' is incorrect. It should be 'data analysis and problem-solving skills' to use correct noun phrases. Hyphenate 'problem-solving' when used as a compound adjective or noun phrase.

Incorrect use of nouns/adjectives (word choice)

× Yes, I really enjoy watching science TV programs because they help me learn more about the natural work.

Yes, I really enjoy watching science TV programs because they help me learn more about the natural world.

'Natural work' is a wrong collocation; the correct noun is 'natural world' meaning nature or the environment. This is a word choice error affecting meaning.

Verb in the past participle form

× For example, I watched the documentary Planet Earth when I was in middle school and I found it fascinating, especially the clear explanations of animal behavior and ecosystems.

For example, I watched the documentary Planet Earth when I was in middle school and found it fascinating, especially the clear explanations of animal behavior and ecosystems.

The sentence is mostly correct; removing the second 'I' before 'found' improves sentence flow and avoids unnecessary repetition. This is a minor sentence structure/past participle consideration to make the sentence more natural.
