Part 1
Examiner
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Candidate
I wouldn't consider myself as someone that buys shoes very often because I don't buy shoes based on the looks but based on how comfortable it is. So I often buy shoes once a year when the bottom of the shoes is kind of ruined, then I'll buy a new one to replace it and that's why I wouldn't consider myself as someone that buys shoes often.
Examiner
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Candidate
No, I have never bought shoes online because I prioritize comfort over appearance. And when it comes to online shopping, you can only tell the appearance of a shoes and not how it actually fit. So it's essential for me to go to the store and try on myself to see if it fits properly.
Examiner
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Candidate
Due to the fact that I only buy shoes once a year, my budget is quite high. I buy shoes ranges from fifty dollars to one fifty dollars. For example, this year I bought a really nice sneaker for around one thirty dollars.
Examiner
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Candidate
Because I travel a lot and like to walk around, I prefer comfortable shoes for sure. I want the shoes to allow me to walk around for hours and not hurt my feet.
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 内容直接且相关,但句子较冗长且有重复(多次说明“不常买鞋”),部分语法和词汇使用不够自然(例如“the bottom of the shoes is kind of ruined”)。建议:1) 开始用一句简短的主题句直接回答问题;2) 用一到两句补充具体细节并用连接词衔接;3) 改正不自然表达,使用更地道的词汇和更准确的语法。示例改进点:将“based on how comfortable it is”换为“on comfort”,将“the bottom of the shoes is kind of ruined”换为“when the soles wear out”。
Example: I don't buy shoes very often — usually about once a year. I prioritize comfort over looks, so I replace shoes only when the soles wear out. Because of that, I rarely feel the need to shop for footwear.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答清晰且有理由支持,但存在语法和用词小错误(例如“a shoes”,“try on myself”),且略显重复。建议:1) 开头直接回答并给出原因;2) 使用正确的搭配(e.g. “tell the appearance”→“judge their appearance”);3) 用连接词使句子更流畅;4) 保持句子数量在3-4句以内。
Example: No, I have never bought shoes online because I need to make sure they are comfortable. Online photos can only help you judge appearance, not fit, so I prefer to try shoes on in a store before buying them.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 回答包含具体数字,信息有用,但语法和表达不够准确(如“Due to the fact that”可以更简洁,“ranges from fifty dollars to one fifty dollars”不自然,数字表达可更规范)。建议:1) 用更简洁的连接句开头;2) 用正确的数额表达(e.g. $50 to $150);3) 用一句举例说明,保持句子简洁且无重复。
Example: Because I only buy shoes about once a year, I usually spend between $50 and $150. For example, this year I bought a nice pair of sneakers for about $130.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: 回答简洁、相关且有具体原因,表达自然但可通过加入一两个连接词或举例使内容更丰富。建议:1) 开头直接表明偏好;2) 给出具体原因并可适当举例说明使用场景;3) 保持语言简洁自然。
Example: I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I travel a lot and walk for hours. For instance, when I'm sightseeing I choose cushioned walking shoes that won't cause blisters or sore feet.
× I wouldn't consider myself as someone that buys shoes very often because I don't buy shoes based on the looks but based on how comfortable it is.
✓ I wouldn't consider myself someone who buys shoes very often because I don't buy shoes based on looks but based on how comfortable they are.
问题类型:11(介词或介词短语使用不当)与12(代词使用不当)以及13(形容词/副词使用不当)。 说明: 1) “consider myself as someone” 中的“as”多余,固定搭配为“consider someone (to be)”,此处应去掉“as”。 2) “that buys shoes” 指人时用关系代词“who”更自然;“that”常用于物或非正式用法。 3) “based on the looks” 中“the looks”不自然,使用不定物概念时可直接用“looks”。 4) “how comfortable it is” 中先行词为“shoes”(复数),代词应为复数“they are”。 改进建议:说“consider myself someone who...”并保持代词与先行词在人称和数上一致。
× So I often buy shoes once a year when the bottom of the shoes is kind of ruined, then I'll buy a new one to replace it and that's why I wouldn't consider myself as someone that buys shoes often.
✓ So I often buy shoes once a year when the soles are kind of worn out; then I'll buy a new pair to replace them, and that's why I wouldn't consider myself someone who buys shoes often.
问题类型:10(现在分词/动名词形式问题),同时涉及1(单复数问题)和12(代词使用)。 说明: 1) “bottom of the shoes” 不地道,应该用“soles”或“bottoms”,且与复数“shoes”一致。 2) “is kind of ruined” 中的“is”与复数“soles/shoes”不一致,改为“are kind of worn out”。 3) “a new one” 指代“shoes”(复数)不合适,应使用“a new pair”并用复数代词“them”。 改进建议:关注可数名词的单复数及其对应动词和代词,使用更自然的搭配如“soles are worn out”“a new pair”。
× No, I have never bought shoes online because I prioritize comfort over appearance. And when it comes to online shopping, you can only tell the appearance of a shoes and not how it actually fit.
✓ No, I have never bought shoes online because I prioritize comfort over appearance. And when it comes to online shopping, you can only tell the appearance of shoes and not how they actually fit.
问题类型:12(代词使用不当)和1(单复数问题)。 说明: 1) “a shoes” 是单复数错误,正确应为“shoes”或“a shoe”。 2) “how it actually fit” 中的代词“it”应指代复数“shoes”,应改为“they”并且现在时态与助动词匹配用“fit”或“fits”:在此结构中“how they actually fit”是正确表达。 改进建议:确保代词的人称和数与其先行词一致;复数名词前避免使用不定冠词“a”。
× So it's essential for me to go to the store and try on myself to see if it fits properly.
✓ So it's essential for me to go to the store and try shoes on to see if they fit properly.
问题类型:15(反身代词使用不当)与12(代词使用不当)。 说明: 1) “try on myself” 不正确,英语中试穿衣物/鞋子用“try on (something)”,主体不使用反身代词,正确为“try shoes on”或“try them on”。 2) “it fits properly” 中“it”指代不明确且与“shoes”不一致,应为复数“they fit properly”。 改进建议:记住固定搭配“try on + 衣物/鞋子/帽子”等;代词需与先行词在数上一致。
× Due to the fact that I only buy shoes once a year, my budget is quite high. I buy shoes ranges from fifty dollars to one fifty dollars.
✓ Due to the fact that I only buy shoes once a year, my budget is quite high. I buy shoes ranging from fifty dollars to one hundred fifty dollars.
问题类型:6(现在时问题)与27(主谓一致)以及8(动名词/现在分词形式)。 说明: 1) “I buy shoes ranges” 主语“I”与动词“ranges”不一致,且句子想表达价格范围应使用现在分词短语“ranging”修饰“shoes”或用“range”与复数主语搭配。 2) “one fifty dollars” 非标准表达,应写作“one hundred fifty dollars”或“one fifty”在口语中,但书面建议使用完整形式。 改进建议:用“range/ranging”来表达范围,并使用正确的数词写法。
× For example, this year I bought a really nice sneaker for around one thirty dollars.
✓ For example, this year I bought a really nice pair of sneakers for around one hundred thirty dollars.
问题类型:22(冠词错误)与1(单复数问题)。 说明: 1) “one thirty dollars” 非书面英语,应写作“one hundred thirty dollars”。 2) “a really nice sneaker” 可接受,但更自然的是“a really nice pair of sneakers”表示一双鞋。若强调单只鞋用“a sneaker”,但随后金额通常指一双,故建议使用“pair of sneakers”。 改进建议:数词使用完整形式;表达鞋子时常用“a pair of sneakers”来表示一双。
× Because I travel a lot and like to walk around, I prefer comfortable shoes for sure. I want the shoes to allow me to walk around for hours and not hurt my feet.
✓ Because I travel a lot and like to walk around, I definitely prefer comfortable shoes. I want my shoes to allow me to walk for hours without hurting my feet.
问题类型:26(句子结构错误)与22(冠词错误)与20(副词位置)。 说明: 1) “for sure” 放在句尾口语可用,但更自然的书面表达为“definitely”。 2) “I want the shoes to allow me to walk around for hours and not hurt my feet.” 中“not hurt my feet”与前半句平行性稍差,且“the shoes”改为更自然的“my shoes”。使用“without hurting my feet”更流畅且符合目的状语结构。 改进建议:注意句子平行与更地道的表达,把否定目的放在“without + -ing”结构中。
