Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
To be honest, I'm not good at memorizing things. I always forgot something, so I always take notes on my phone or on my books to remind me.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, I always do this. For example, last time my friend told me we will go to the cinema together next day, but I really forgot it so she was very angry.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
I suppose there are several things need to remember in my daily life. Uh, the first thing come to my mind is the daily routine. I need to remember what should I do today and what should I do tomorrow. And the next thing is, uh, I need to keep exercise every day, whatever in the morning or in the afternoon.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
Well, I always take notes on my phone to make sure I can remember something important and I usually check my phones when I wake up.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: 在回答中要更直接和简洁地给出主题句,然后用一到两句具体细节解释你如何记东西或为何不擅长记忆。注意时态和动词形式(例如使用现在时“forget”而不是过去式“forgot”),并避免重复表达相同意思。可以加一点例子或频率词使回答更具体。
Example: I'm not very good at memorising things; I often forget appointments and tasks. To cope, I always jot reminders in my phone calendar and set alarms so I don't miss important events.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 回答要更精确地描述一次具体事件,用正确的时态(过去时)并提供少量细节,如时间和后果,避免笼统或过度使用“always”。可说明你从中学到什么或如何改进。
Example: Yes, once I forgot about a plan with a friend. She had invited me to the cinema the day before, but I forgot and missed it. I apologised and learned to set reminders on my phone to prevent it happening again.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: 结构上先给出主题句,然后用连接词组织两到三个具体例子并尽量提供细节(例如具体任务或锻炼类型和频率)。避免语法错误(e.g. ‘things need to remember’→‘things I need to remember’),并删去填充词如“uh”。
Example: I need to remember several daily things, mainly my schedule and my exercise. For example, I keep a to-do list to track appointments and deadlines, and I try to exercise for 30 minutes every day, either a morning run or an afternoon gym session.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答清晰且具体,但可用一两句补充说明方法的细节和效果,使用连词提高连贯性。注意小错误(e.g. ‘check my phones’→‘check my phone’)。可以提到具体工具(calendar, alarms, apps)和频率,以展示语言多样性。
Example: I use my phone to remember important things: I add events to my calendar, set alarms, and write short notes. I also check my phone first thing in the morning to review the day's tasks and ensure I haven't missed anything.
× To be honest, I'm not good at memorizing things. I always forgot something, so I always take notes on my phone or on my books to remind me.
✓ To be honest, I'm not good at memorizing things. I always forget things, so I always take notes on my phone or in my books to remind myself.
句中“I always forgot something”使用的是一般过去时,但说话人是在描述经常性的习惯,应使用一般现在时“always forget”。另外“on my books”应改为介词短语“in my books”(表示在书中),以及“to remind me”不自然,正确用法为“to remind myself”。建议:描述习惯时用一般现在时;注意固定搭配in my books;代词反身时用myself。
× For example, last time my friend told me we will go to the cinema together next day, but I really forgot it so she was very angry.
✓ For example, last time my friend told me we would go to the cinema together the next day, but I really forgot, so she was very angry.
句子回述过去时的计划或约定时,从句中的将来时“will”应转换为过去将来时“would”。“next day”在间接引语中应改为“the next day”。此外“forgot it”中“it”可省略。建议:间接引语中将来时→过去将来时,时间词相应调整。
× I suppose there are several things need to remember in my daily life.
✓ I suppose there are several things that need to be remembered in my daily life.
原句缺少关系代词或被动结构,导致从句结构不完整。“things need to remember”需要插入“that”并且更自然的表达是被动结构“need to be remembered”或主动结构“that I need to remember”。建议:使用关系代词连接从句,或使用被动/主动完整表达。
× Uh, the first thing come to my mind is the daily routine.
✓ Uh, the first thing that comes to my mind is my daily routine.
主语“the first thing”与动词“come”在数上一致性错误,应为第三人称单数“comes”。此外“the daily routine”前加“my”更符合语境。建议:注意主谓一致(单数主语用comes);恰当使用所属代词表明个人习惯。
× I need to remember what should I do today and what should I do tomorrow.
✓ I need to remember what I should do today and what I should do tomorrow.
该句属于句子结构/语序问题,间接疑问句的语序应为陈述语序“I should do”,而非疑问语序“should I do”。建议:在间接疑问句中使用陈述语序。
× And the next thing is, uh, I need to keep exercise every day, whatever in the morning or in the afternoon.
✓ And the next thing is, uh, I need to keep exercising every day, whether in the morning or in the afternoon.
“keep exercise”用法不正确,应该用动名词“keep exercising”。“whatever in the morning or in the afternoon”应改为“whether...or...”表示无论早上还是下午。建议:记住固定搭配keep doing;使用whether...or...来表示二选一/无论情况。
× Well, I always take notes on my phone to make sure I can remember something important and I usually check my phones when I wake up.
✓ Well, I always take notes on my phone to make sure I can remember important things, and I usually check my phone when I wake up.
“something important”更自然的复数或泛指“important things”。“check my phones”中的phones应为单数“phone”,因为通常指个人一部手机。保持时态无误,但需注意名词单复数一致。建议:使用复数泛指事项;单数phone指代个人手机。
