Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
Actually, I have a pretty poor memory, so I often struggle to remember details. For example, I frequently fear short memory tests at the start of the class because I can't return information well under pressure.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
As I mentioned, I have a poor memory, so I would prepare a memorandum for the for the important tasks and emergencies in the daily life. Because of that, I haven't forgotten something important so far.
Examiner

Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
1st, I usually write important tasks down in a notebook or on my phone so I won't forget them. Secondly, I practice memorization by repeating information or revising my notes regularly, which helps me remember things more reliably.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答直接且内容相关,但存在重复与表达不够自然的问题。建议:1) 去掉重复信息,开头直接给出主题句;2) 用更自然的表达替换“fear short memory tests”等生硬用法;3) 控制长度不超5句并加入一两处连词(e.g. because, so)使衔接更顺畅;4) 给出一两个具体例子来增加细节。示例句子中注意语法与搭配(e.g. remember information under pressure)。
Example: I’m not very good at memorising things; I often struggle to remember details. For example, I feel anxious during short memory tests at the start of class because I find it hard to recall information under pressure.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答有逻辑,但重复引用前文且存在句子小错误(如“the for the”)。建议:1) 避免重复开头短语“as I mentioned”,可用简短回应再补细节;2) 修正语法与词汇(用“make a note”或“write reminders”替代“prepare a memorandum”更口语);3) 用一到两个具体情境说明如何避免遗忘以增加说服力。
Example: I rarely forget important things because I always make notes or set reminders on my phone for crucial tasks and emergencies. For instance, I add deadlines and court appointments to my calendar so I won’t miss them.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答包含相关信息但有多处问题:有断句与无关短句(“Remember this. Help me.”等)打断流畅性;用词也可更精准(如“legal provisions”或“case precedents”比“articles and cases”更合适)。建议:1) 删除与题目无关的插入句,保持句子完整;2) 使用更具体的例子并用连词连接;3) 控制句子数与长度,保持自然口语。
Example: In my daily work as a lawyer I need to remember key statutes and case precedents, especially those related to contract law and criminal procedure, so I can cite them accurately in court or when drafting documents.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: 回答结构清晰、条理明确且包含具体方法,但语言可更自然,避免列数字序号在口语中显得生硬。建议:1) 用连词自然衔接两种方法(e.g. First, ... Then, ...);2) 提供一两个具体例子来展示效果(比如设置 alarms 或使用记忆技巧如联想);3) 保持总句数不超过5句即可。
Example: First, I write important tasks in a notebook or on my phone and set reminders so I won’t forget them. Then I review my notes regularly and use simple repetition or mnemonic associations to help the information stick.
× Actually, I have a pretty poor memory, so I often struggle to remember details.
✓ Actually, I have a pretty poor memory, so I often struggle to remember details.
句子语法正确,时态使用恰当,无需修改。
× For example, I frequently fear short memory tests at the start of the class because I can't return information well under pressure.
✓ For example, I frequently worry about short memory tests at the start of class because I can't recall information well under pressure.
使用“fear”在此语境不自然,通常用“worry about”表达对考试的担忧;“return information”用词不当,应改为“recall information”表示回忆信息;“at the start of the class”中“the”可省略为“at the start of class”更常用。时态仍为一般现在时,故归为当前时态问题。建议多用常见搭配(worry about, recall)。
× As I mentioned, I have a poor memory, so I would prepare a memorandum for the for the important tasks and emergencies in the daily life.
✓ As I mentioned, I have a poor memory, so I prepare a memorandum for important tasks and emergencies in daily life.
原句有重复的“for the for the”,且“would prepare”暗示虚拟或过去习惯,而说话者在陈述常规做法应使用一般现在时“prepare”;“the important tasks”与“in the daily life”中的定冠词使用多余,应改为不带定冠词的短语。错误类型归为“Article errors”和时态选择问题(已按列表优先报Article errors)。建议简化并使用一般现在时,去掉重复词和多余冠词。
× Because of that, I haven't forgotten something important so far.
✓ Because of that, I haven't forgotten anything important so far.
使用“haven't forgotten something important”不自然,否定句中常用“anything”而非“something”。时态为现在完成时(一种现在时态问题)。建议在否定句或疑问句中用“anything”。
× For my job as a lawyer, I have to remember some important articles and cases in the law, such as those related to contract law or criminal procedures.
✓ For my job as a lawyer, I have to remember some important articles and cases in law, such as those related to contract law or criminal procedure.
句子总体正确,但“in the law”更自然为“in law”或省略“in”;“criminal procedures”在此应使用不可数名词短语“criminal procedure”指一类法律领域。错误类型归为“Verb in the present participle form”(列表中最接近结构/用词分类为该项),实际为用词搭配和名词形式问题。建议使用习惯搭配“in law”或直接说“in contract law or criminal procedure”。
× Remember this. Help me. Help me respond to the code quickly.
✓ Please remember this and help me respond to the code quickly.
原句由三个简短句子拼凑,不符合连贯表达。应合并为一句话,并加礼貌用语“please”。此外“respond to the code”含义不清,若意为“对代码作出反应(或回应警报)”则保持,若指其它需具体化。错误类型归为“Sentence structure errors”。建议把简短句合并并明确意图。
× 1st, I usually write important tasks down in a notebook or on my phone so I won't forget them.
✓ First, I usually write important tasks down in a notebook or on my phone so I don't forget them.
句首序数缩写“1st”在口语考试回答中可用“First”更自然;使用“won't forget”暗示未来意向,但描述习惯性做法更适合一般现在时“don't forget”。归入“Present tense issue”。建议使用“First”并用一般现在时描述习惯。
× Secondly, I practice memorization by repeating information or revising my notes regularly, which helps me remember things more reliably.
✓ Secondly, I practise memorisation by repeating information or revising my notes regularly, which helps me remember things more reliably.
句子结构和时态正确,仅英式拼写“practise/ memorisation”或美式“practice/memorization”可根据考试方选择一致拼写。归为“Present tense issue”因为时态无误但需注意拼写一致性。建议统一英美拼写风格。
