Part 1
Examiner
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
Candidate
Yes, when I was a child, there was a public service advertisement that impressed me a lot. It showed a young boy helping his mother with family choice, which made me realize the importance of family support and kindness.
Examiner
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Candidate
Yes, there are many advertisements on public transport such as trains, buses and airplanes. I think this is because these places have a large number of passengers, so companies want to promote their products.
Examiner
Do you like advertisements?
Candidate
No, I don't like advertisements because they are everywhere and can be quite annoying. Whenever I'm at home, traveling or watching TV, they usually interrupt what I'm doing. I find them intrusive and sometimes repetitive which makes the experience unpleasant.
Examiner
What kind of advertising do you like?
Candidate
I like fashionable advertisements because they make me feel happy and inspire my creativity. For example, As for the latest clothes often use bright color and interesting designs that catch my attention. I also appreciate public service advertising.
Examiner
Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Candidate
Yes, I often see advertisements on my phone almost everyday whenever I open an application. The ads usually appear on the starting page, which make me feel a bit annoying. However, I understand that this helps free apps so I don't mind them.
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答较直接,内容相关但细节模糊,语言可更自然。建议用一到两句主题句交代印象最深的广告类型和原因,随后用一两句具体描写广告情节和个人感受,并使用连接词(例如: because, so, which)使结构更连贯。避免冗长或重复,保持不超过五句。
Example: A public service advertisement about family support impressed me most as a child because it showed a young boy helping his mother with daily chores. In the ad, the mother looked tired and the boy gently cooked and cleaned, which made the scene very touching. This taught me the importance of kindness and supporting family members from a young age.
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: 回答清晰且内容相关,但可以增加具体例子或比较来丰富内容。建议先给出直接回答,然后用一到两句说明为什么和举例(例如哪类广告更常见或广告的位置),并使用连接词(for example, because, therefore)使句子更连贯。保持简洁不超过五句。
Example: Yes, I often see advertisements on trains, buses and subways because these vehicles carry many passengers every day. For example, I usually notice posters for mobile phones and travel apps on train doors and seat backs, which suggests companies target commuters to increase brand exposure.
Do you like advertisements?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 观点明确且有理由,但表达稍重复。建议先简短直接回答,然后用两句具体说明原因并给一例或解释接受度(比如能接受哪种广告)。使用连接词(however, for example)避免重复描述“annoying”。
Example: No, I generally don't like advertisements because they interrupt activities and are often repetitive. For example, frequent pop-ups on websites break my concentration, although I can tolerate short, creative ads that are entertaining or informative.
What kind of advertising do you like?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答包含兴趣与原因但语句衔接和流畅性不足,有语法小问题。建议用一到两句明确说明喜欢哪类广告并解释原因,再用具体例子说明哪种设计或元素吸引你,最后可简短提及另一类喜欢的广告作为补充。使用连接词如 because, for example, and。
Example: I prefer fashion advertisements because their bright colors and creative designs cheer me up and spark ideas for my own style. For example, posters showing bold patterns and unexpected color combinations immediately catch my eye, and I also admire public service ads for their meaningful messages.
Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答内容完整且有平衡观点,但表达可更自然、语法需小改。建议先回答频率,然后说明广告位置及个人感受,最后用一句表示理解和接受。注意复数和时态(e.g. make me feel a bit annoyed / almost every day)。
Example: Yes, I see ads on my phone almost every day, especially on app start-up screens and between videos. They can be annoying because they interrupt usage, but I understand they fund free apps, so I usually tolerate them unless they are too frequent.
× Yes, when I was a child, there was a public service advertisement that impressed me a lot.
✓ Yes, when I was a child, a public service advertisement impressed me a lot.
使用“there was”结构在这里不自然。原句用“there was a public service advertisement that impressed me a lot”虽然语法可行,但在英语叙述特定记忆时更常用直接主语(a public service advertisement)作句子主语,表达更简洁自然。建议直接把“there was”去掉,使用主动语序来描述具体的广告。
× It showed a young boy helping his mother with family choice, which made me realize the importance of family support and kindness.
✓ It showed a young boy helping his mother with household chores, which made me realize the importance of family support and kindness.
原句中的“family choice”搭配不自然,不符合英语常用表达。根据上下文应为“帮母亲做家务”即“household chores”。这是词汇搭配问题,属于现在分词短语所修饰的内容不准确。建议使用常见搭配“helping his mother with household chores”。(说明:只改动了不当搭配,保持现在分词结构不变。)
× Yes, there are many advertisements on public transport such as trains, buses and airplanes.
✓ Yes, there are many advertisements on public transport such as trains, buses, and aeroplanes.
句子总体正确,但“airplanes”与英式拼写不一致(如果考官使用英式英语,常用“aeroplanes”或“airplanes”均可)。此外在列举时建议在最后两个并列项前加逗号(牛津逗号)以提高清晰度。该更改属于主谓一致和标点风格无实质错误,主要为风格与一致性建议。
× I think this is because these places have a large number of passengers, so companies want to promote their products.
✓ I think this is because these places have large numbers of passengers, so companies want to promote their products.
原句“a large number of passengers”在语法上可行,但与前文“these places”复数主语搭配时,使用“large numbers of passengers”在语感上更平衡。此为现在分词短语环境中名词短语数的搭配调整建议。
× No, I don't like advertisements because they are everywhere and can be quite annoying.
✓ No, I don't like advertisements because they are everywhere and can be quite annoying.
该句语法正确,无需修改。包含在反馈中以表明已检查:'there are'用法恰当。
× Whenever I'm at home, traveling or watching TV, they usually interrupt what I'm doing.
✓ Whenever I'm at home, travelling, or watching TV, they usually interrupt what I'm doing.
原句中“traveling”拼写在美式与英式英语中不同(traveling/travelling)。根据所使用的英语变体选择一致拼写。此处调整为英式拼写以保持一致性。该问题属于现在分词形式拼写一致性。
× I find them intrusive and sometimes repetitive which makes the experience unpleasant.
✓ I find them intrusive and sometimes repetitive, which makes the experience unpleasant.
原句缺少逗号来引导非限定性定语从句,影响句子结构的清晰度。添加逗号属于句子结构/标点修正,便于理解。该问题归类为冠词/句子结构相关调整,但并未改变时态或主要语法点。
× I like fashionable advertisements because they make me feel happy and inspire my creativity.
✓ I like fashionable advertisements because they make me feel happy and inspire my creativity.
句子语法正确,无需修改。这里标注为句子结构检查合格。
× For example, As for the latest clothes often use bright color and interesting designs that catch my attention.
✓ For example, the latest clothes often use bright colours and interesting designs that catch my attention.
原句结构混乱且缺少主语,“As for”与句子其余部分重复使用导致句子不完整。改为直接主语“the latest clothes”并修正复数及拼写(colours)使表达完整自然。该问题属于形容词/副词及句子结构错误。
× I also appreciate public service advertising.
✓ I also appreciate public-service advertisements.
原句语法勉强可理解,但“public service advertising”在此处更自然的表达是可数名词短语“public-service advertisements”。将其改为可数形式以便与前文其他复数名词一致。该调整属于there be/名词使用类型的改正。
× Yes, I often see advertisements on my phone almost everyday whenever I open an application.
✓ Yes, I often see advertisements on my phone almost every day whenever I open an application.
“everyday”是形容词,表示“日常的”,而短语“every day”表示“每天”,在此应使用副词短语“every day”。该问题属于现在分词/形式使用误用(词形混淆)。
× The ads usually appear on the starting page, which make me feel a bit annoying.
✓ The ads usually appear on the start page, which makes me feel a bit annoyed.
原句有两个错误:1) “starting page”表达不自然,改为“start page”或“home page”;2) 定语从句“which make me feel”中,先行词“which”指代单数情形(the fact/the situation),因此谓语应为“makes”;另外“feel a bit annoying”错误地把自己描述为“令人恼火”,正确应为“feel a bit annoyed”表示自己的感受。该问题归类为主谓一致和形容词/副词误用。
× However, I understand that this helps free apps so I don't mind them.
✓ However, I understand that this helps keep apps free, so I don't mind them.
原句“helps free apps”可能被理解为“帮助解放应用程序”,应改为“helps keep apps free”表示“使应用免费”。这是情态/动词搭配使用问题,改正后意义明确。
