Part 1
Examiner
Do you have a favourite teacher?

Yes I do. My favorite teacher is my primary school English teacher. She was so patient and kind. At first I was nervous and unconfident with my English, but she gave me important lessons on my way to English and my life.

Candidate
Yes, uh, we exchanged our WeChat when my graduation from primary school and also every vacation I would want go to my primary school to see them again. It's really educational to be back to your primary school.
Examiner
In what way did your favourite teacher help you?

Well, she encouraged me a lot. She made me feel confident about speaking English and she was so patient that she repeated again and again to correct my pronunciation.
Examiner

Do you have a favourite teacher?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 总体回答自然,表达清楚,但有些语法和用词不够地道且信息还能更具体。建议:1) 开头用一两句话直接回答并给出原因(保持主题句)。2) 用更准确的词汇替换如“unconfident”(use “insecure”或“lacked confidence”),“gave me important lessons”可以更具体化为“taught me fundamentals/valuable life lessons”。3) 合理使用连接词如“because”、“which”使句子更连贯。4) 控制句子数量,不超过5句。
Example: Yes. My favourite teacher was my primary school English teacher because she was patient and kind. She helped me build confidence in speaking English by encouraging me in class and giving simple practice exercises. As a result, I gained a solid foundation in pronunciation and basic grammar, which helped me later in school.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teacher?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答有内容但语法和表达不够准确,口语填充词“uh”应尽量避免,时间与频率表达不够自然。建议:1) 使用更自然的时态和固定搭配(e.g. “we exchanged WeChat contacts when I graduated”)。2) 用连接词改进句子流畅性(e.g. “and I usually visit them during holidays”)。3) 将意见展开成一两条具体细节(如见面时做什么)。
Example: Yes, we exchanged WeChat contacts when I graduated from primary school, and I usually visit my old teachers during school holidays. I enjoy chatting with them about my studies and sometimes I join school events when I go back.
In what way did your favourite teacher help you?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: 回答清晰且有具体行为描述(反复纠正发音、鼓励),但句子可更紧凑并用连接词增强逻辑,也可加一两个具体例子(比如具体练习方法)。建议:1) 用更自然的表达替换“repeated again and again”(e.g. “repeated things patiently”或“practised pronunciation with me several times”)。2) 补充具体做法(如一对一辅导、游戏、朗读)。
Example: She encouraged me a lot and practised pronunciation with me patiently, often repeating words and correcting my sounds. For example, she would ask me to read aloud and then gently point out mistakes, which helped me improve my confidence quickly.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答直接但有语法错误和表达不够成熟;自我评价过于绝对且有语法问题(如“made me big mistake”)。建议:1) 用更自然的否定句并解释原因(e.g. “No, I don't want to, because I don't feel patient enough to work with young children.”)。2) 避免绝对化表述,改为承认可以改进(e.g. “I can be impatient sometimes”)。3) 改正语法和单复数错误并使用连接词使句子更连贯。
Example: No, I don't think I want to be a teacher because I'm not very patient with young children and I prefer working in a different field. I sometimes make careless mistakes, so unless I improve my patience and attention to detail, teaching wouldn't suit me.
× Yes I do. My favorite teacher is my primary school English teacher. She was so patient and kind. At first I was nervous and unconfident with my English, but she gave me important lessons on my way to English and my life.
✓ Yes, I do. My favourite teacher is my primary school English teacher. She was very patient and kind. At first I was nervous and lacked confidence with my English, but she gave me important lessons for my English and my life.
句中存在现在时和表达问题:1) 在“Yes I do”后应加逗号以符合书面习惯(虽非列出的错误类型,但保留)。2) “unconfident”不是地道表达,应改为“lacked confidence”以符合现在完成经验的描述(属现在时态相关的表达问题)。3) “on my way to English”不自然,改为“for my English”更符合意思。改进建议:用更自然的表达描述心理状态(如“lacked confidence”),并使用惯用介词短语(如“for my English”)。这些调整使时态和表达更准确、自然。
× Yes, uh, we exchanged our WeChat when my graduation from primary school and also every vacation I would want go to my primary school to see them again. It's really educational to be back to your primary school.
✓ Yes, we exchanged WeChats when I graduated from primary school, and every vacation I would go back to my primary school to see them again. It's really educational to return to your primary school.
错误为介词和动词短语使用不当:1) “when my graduation from primary school”应为动词短语“when I graduated from primary school”。2) “exchanged our WeChat”更常见的是“exchanged WeChats”或“exchanged WeChat IDs”。3) “want go to”缺少介词/to 不正确,应为“would go back”。4) “to be back to your primary school”中介词应为“return to”或“go back to”。改进建议:使用正确的动词形式和常用短语(graduated from, go back to, return to),并注意WeChat一类名词的可数用法。
× Well, she encouraged me a lot. She made me feel confident about speaking English and she was so patient that she repeated again and again to correct my pronunciation.
✓ Well, she encouraged me a lot. She made me feel confident about speaking English, and she was so patient that she repeated corrections again and again to correct my pronunciation.
错误为动名词/不定式用法问题:原句“repeated again and again to correct”结构不自然且不符合动词搭配习惯,应该用名词短语“repeated corrections”或使用从句“kept repeating to correct”来表达持续动作。改进建议:使用“repeated corrections”或“kept repeating”来表示反复行为,确保动词形式和句子结构一致。
× No, I don't think so. I don't think I'm good at dealing with young children and I think I'm not patient and I'm careless, which made me big mistake especially to student.
✓ No, I don't think so. I don't think I'm good at dealing with young children. I don't think I'm patient and I'm careless, which makes me prone to making big mistakes especially with students.
错误涉及时态和搭配:1) “which made me big mistake”时态和结构错误,应为“which makes me prone to making big mistakes”以表达一般现在时的结果。2) “especially to student”介词和单复数错误,应为“especially with students”。改进建议:用一般现在时描述性格和习惯性的结果(makes me prone to...),并使用正确的介词“with”以及复数“students”。
