Part 1
Examiner
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Candidate
I seldom buy shoes because I prefer the old ones that fit my feet and more comfortable rather than changing frequently. So I usually just buy shoes once a year
Examiner
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Candidate
I seldom buy shoes online because I prefer to try and own to check the size and comfort of shoes and I can't do that with online shopping, so I choose to buy shoes in the stores to test them first
Examiner
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Candidate
I would like to spend about twenty dollars to seventy dollars on that because I think it is not worth investing too much on shoes due to the changing fashion styles. Other than spending too much on shoes, I would like to invest more on tablets or books which are more durable and last longer.
Examiner
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Candidate
I prefer the comfortable shoes because I'm a sport fan and take exercise every day. Fashionable shoes support my feet and allow me to move freely and smoothly, very fashionable shoes are more restrictive and uncomfortable during sport.
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 回答已直接回应问题,但句子结构有些重复与语法错误。建议用一到两句更简洁自然地表达频率和原因,注意主谓一致与形容词顺序,并用连接词使句子更流畅。例如把“old ones that fit my feet and more comfortable”改为“comfortable ones that fit my feet”。
Example: I rarely buy new shoes—usually about once a year—because I prefer to keep comfortable shoes that already fit me well.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答意思清楚,但表达冗长且有语法与词汇错误(如“prefer to try and own”不自然)。建议用两到三句说明频率、原因,并用连接词(because, so)简洁衔接,同时提供具体细节如试穿的哪些方面很重要。
Example: I rarely buy shoes online because I like to try them on in person to check the fit and comfort. For example, I always walk around the store to see if they rub or support my feet properly.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 内容具体且有理由,但表达较冗长且个别用词不太自然(如“on that”可直接说“on shoes”)。建议先给出价格范围,然后简要说明原因并提供比较细节,避免重复。
Example: I usually spend between $20 and $70 on shoes because fashion changes quickly and I don’t want to spend a lot on items that go out of style. I’d rather spend more on durable things like tablets or books.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 答案方向正确但有逻辑与表述混乱:你先说偏好舒适鞋,但接着又说“Fashionable shoes support my feet”与前文矛盾。建议先明确立场,然后用一两句具体例子解释原因并使用链接词(for example, because)。避免自相矛盾的描述。
Example: I prefer comfortable shoes because I exercise every day and need good support and cushioning. For example, running shoes with proper arch support let me move freely without pain, whereas purely fashionable shoes often feel restrictive.
× I seldom buy shoes because I prefer the old ones that fit my feet and more comfortable rather than changing frequently.
✓ I seldom buy shoes because I prefer the old ones that fit my feet and are more comfortable rather than changing them frequently.
句子中“more comfortable”是形容词,需与系动词连用;同时“changing”后应有宾语“them”。建议在“and”后加系动词“are”,并在“changing”后加“them”。(改正为:...and are more comfortable rather than changing them frequently.)
× So I usually just buy shoes once a year
✓ So I usually buy shoes only once a year.
句子中副词位置不当,'just'与'only'选一并置于动词或频率短语前更自然。为清晰起见使用'only once a year'。
× I seldom buy shoes online because I prefer to try and own to check the size and comfort of shoes and I can't do that with online shopping, so I choose to buy shoes in the stores to test them first
✓ I seldom buy shoes online because I prefer to try them on to check the size and comfort, and I can't do that with online shopping, so I choose to buy shoes in stores to test them first.
原句中有多个问题:1) 'try and own' 应为短语 'try them on' 表示试穿;2) 'to check the size and comfort of shoes' 可简化为 'to check the size and comfort';3) 'in the stores' 常用为 'in stores' 或 'in the store' 根据语境用复数更自然。建议使用固定搭配 'try them on' 并调整介词短语。
× I would like to spend about twenty dollars to seventy dollars on that because I think it is not worth investing too much on shoes due to the changing fashion styles.
✓ I would like to spend about twenty to seventy dollars on them because I think it is not worth investing too much in shoes due to changing fashion styles.
1) 数词短语应为 'twenty to seventy dollars' 而非 'twenty dollars to seventy dollars';2) 介词搭配应为 'spend ... on them' 或 'spend ... on shoes';3) 'investing too much on' 应为 'investing too much in';4) 'the changing fashion styles' 中加定冠词不必要,常用 'changing fashion styles'。建议调整数词短语和介词使用。
× Other than spending too much on shoes, I would like to invest more on tablets or books which are more durable and last longer.
✓ Instead of spending too much on shoes, I would like to invest more in tablets or books, which are more durable and last longer.
'Other than' 在此处不如 'Instead of' 自然;同时介词应为 'invest in' 而不是 'invest on';在非限制性定语从句前加逗号更符合书面语。建议改用 'Instead of' 和 'invest in'。
× I prefer the comfortable shoes because I'm a sport fan and take exercise every day.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes because I'm a sports fan and exercise every day.
1) 在泛指时不应使用定冠词 'the',应为 'comfortable shoes';2) 'sport fan' 常用复数形式 'sports fan';3) 'take exercise' 更自然的表达是 'exercise'。建议删除'the'、改为'sports fan'并用动词短语 'exercise every day'。
× Fashionable shoes support my feet and allow me to move freely and smoothly, very fashionable shoes are more restrictive and uncomfortable during sport.
✓ Fashionable shoes support my feet and allow me to move freely and smoothly, but very fashionable shoes are more restrictive and uncomfortable during sports.
原句存在并列句连接问题,应使用连词 'but' 或分号;此外 'during sport' 更常用 'during sports' 或 'while doing sports'。建议加 'but' 并改为 'during sports'。
