Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Do you like science?

Candidate

Yes, I love science because it enables me to explain our daily phenomena in a logical way using science. It never fails to excite me.

Examiner

When did you start to learn about science?

Candidate

I started learning science when I was in elementary school. We received science textbooks at school and I read them eagerly because I loved experiments and the way they explained how things work.

Examiner

Which science subject is interesting to you?

Candidate

My favorite science subject is physics because it's experience what's happens in our daily lives in a logical way, often using mathematics. For example, when I see umm, apple fails, we can explain them using velocity and mass.

Examiner

What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?

Candidate

Add University Festival. I built a model of bridge using chopsticks with my faculty members. There I used physics to make the model bridge stable and display them to the audience.

Examiner

Do you like watching science TV programs?

Candidate

I unfortunately I do not usually watch science TV programs because I don't have enough time to spare for it, but I find it quite exciting so when I have a chance I would like to see them.

Examiner

Do Chinese people often visit science museums?

Candidate

Families with young children often visit Science Museum because they are fun and educational places where kids can learn through hand on exhibits. Adults with their children tend to visit less frequently, on the other hand.

Part 1

Do you like science?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Reduce redundancy and make the response more natural by combining ideas and using varied vocabulary. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one specific supporting reason and a short example. Avoid repeating the word "science."

Example: Yes, I love science because it helps me understand everyday phenomena logically. For instance, learning about forces and energy explains why a bicycle slows down on grass, which I find fascinating.

When did you start to learn about science?

Score: 90.0

Suggestion: Good structure and detail—keep it concise and add one linking phrase to improve cohesion. Replace general statements with a brief specific memory to make it more engaging.

Example: I began studying science in elementary school. I remember eagerly reading our textbooks and doing a simple volcano experiment, which sparked my interest in how things work.

Which science subject is interesting to you?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar and pronunciation, remove fillers, and use accurate vocabulary. Provide a clear topic sentence and a concise, correct example. Fix sentence structure and word choice (e.g., "it explains" not "it's experience").

Example: My favorite subject is physics because it explains everyday phenomena using mathematical principles. For example, when an apple falls, we can describe its motion with concepts like velocity and mass.

What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Make the answer flow naturally by starting with a clear topic sentence, then provide chronological or cause-effect details. Fix phrasing and articles, and give a brief result or what you learned.

Example: At our university festival, I helped build a model bridge from chopsticks with some faculty members. We applied physics principles to make the bridge stable, and it held weight during the demonstration, which surprised the audience.

Do you like watching science TV programs?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Avoid repetition and pause fillers; use a smoother structure: state your habit, give a reason, then a contrasting wish. Keep it to two or three sentences.

Example: I don't usually watch science TV programs because I have little free time, but I find them exciting. If I get a chance, I would like to watch documentaries on space and technology.

Do Chinese people often visit science museums?

Score: 84.0

Suggestion: Be careful with generalisations and phrasing. Use linking words for contrast and replace vague terms with specifics. Correct 'hand on' to 'hands-on' and smooth the contrast sentence.

Example: Families with young children often visit science museums because they offer hands-on exhibits that are both fun and educational. In contrast, adults without children tend to visit these museums less often.

Grammar

Verb in the present participle form

× I love science because it enables me to explain our daily phenomena in a logical way using science.

I love science because it enables me to explain our daily phenomena in a logical way.

Redundant use of 'using science' is unnecessary and awkward; the present participle phrase should clearly modify the main clause. Removing it makes the sentence concise and grammatically correct.

Present tense issue

× When did you start to learn about science?

When did you start learning about science?

After 'start' in past questions, the verb should be in the -ing form ('start learning') rather than the infinitive 'to learn' for natural English. Use 'start learning' to match common usage.

Verb in the present participle form

× We received science textbooks at school and I read them eagerly because I loved experiments and the way they explained how things work.

We received science textbooks at school and I read them eagerly because I loved experiments and the way they explained how things worked.

The clause 'how things work' should match the past timeframe ('received', 'read', 'loved') so the verb should be in past tense 'worked' to maintain consistent sequence of tenses.

Sentence structure errors

× Which science subject is interesting to you?

Which science subject is interesting to you?

Sentence is grammatically acceptable, though more natural phrasing is 'Which science subject interests you?' This changes structure from passive feeling to active subject-verb agreement with 'subject' (singular) and 'interests' (third person singular). No mandatory correction required by the provided list, but improving to 'interests you' is recommended.

Third person singular issue

× My favorite science subject is physics because it's experience what's happens in our daily lives in a logical way, often using mathematics.

My favorite science subject is physics because it explains what happens in our daily lives in a logical way, often using mathematics.

Multiple issues: 'it's experience' is incorrect; 'physics' as a subject should take a verb like 'explains' (third person singular). Also 'what's happens' mixes contractions and verb forms; use 'what happens'. Correct third person singular agreement and clause structure.

Singular and plural issue

× For example, when I see umm, apple fails, we can explain them using velocity and mass.

For example, when I see an apple fall, we can explain it using velocity and mass.

'Apple' needs an article 'an' and the verb should be 'fall' not 'fails' in this structure. 'We' explains the single event 'an apple fall', so the pronoun should be 'it' not 'them'. This fixes singular/plural and verb form agreement.

Sentence structure errors

× Add University Festival.

At the university festival,

'Add University Festival' is ungrammatical. Likely intended 'At the university festival,' which provides the correct prepositional phrase to begin the sentence. This fixes sentence fragment and clarifies context.

Singular and plural issue

× I built a model of bridge using chopsticks with my faculty members.

I built a model of a bridge using chopsticks with my faculty members.

Missing article 'a' before 'bridge' is required for singular count nouns. Adding 'a' corrects the singular noun phrase.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× There I used physics to make the model bridge stable and display them to the audience.

There I used physics to make the model bridge stable and display it to the audience.

Pronoun 'them' refers to plural; 'model bridge' is singular so use 'it'. This corrects pronoun reference.

Modal verb usage

× I unfortunately I do not usually watch science TV programs because I don't have enough time to spare for it, but I find it quite exciting so when I have a chance I would like to see them.

Unfortunately, I do not usually watch science TV programs because I don't have enough time to spare for them, but I find them quite exciting so when I have a chance I would like to watch them.

Remove duplicated 'I', change 'for it' to 'for them' to match plural 'programs', and use 'watch' rather than 'see' with programs. Also add comma after 'Unfortunately' for clarity.

Incorrect use of articles

× Families with young children often visit Science Museum because they are fun and educational places where kids can learn through hand on exhibits.

Families with young children often visit the science museum because they are fun and educational places where kids can learn through hands-on exhibits.

Add definite article 'the' before 'science museum' when speaking of a specific type of museum in general context. Use lowercase 'science museum' or keep as common noun. 'Hand on' should be hyphenated 'hands-on' and 'exhibits' is correct. This fixes article and compound adjective usage.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Adults with their children tend to visit less frequently, on the other hand.

Adults, on the other hand, tend to visit less frequently with their children.

Repositioning 'on the other hand' makes sentence flow better. Placing 'with their children' at end clarifies who visits less frequently. This corrects awkward word order and clarifies pronoun reference.
