Part 1
Examiner
What is your favourite food?
Candidate
I do not have a specific favorite food. It really depends on the situation and who I am eating with. Uh, for example, when I am with my friend I prefer spicy street food, but with families I prefer mild home cooked food. Unless the food is tasty, I usually would enjoy it.
Examiner
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Candidate
When I was a child my taste to food was largely shaped by whoever did cooking. For example, I like I loved homemade Stew my grandfather made because he used fresh herbs and slow simmered for hours so they always tasted rich.
Examiner
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Candidate
I generally eat same staple foods throughout the year, but other foods change with the season. For example, in summer you eat watermelon to keep cool, but in winter you prefer to eat spice hot food to keep warm.
Examiner
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Candidate
When I was a child, my appetite was strong. No matter what food is, as long as it's healthy and fresh, I usually enjoyed it. But when I grew up, my appetite interest in food decreased a lot, so I do not have particular preference for food now.
What is your favourite food?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 总体回答较自然且信息明确,但存在停顿词(如"Uh")、重复和个别语法小问题(如时态与冠词),句子略长且可以更紧凑。建议减少填充词,使用更流畅的连接词,并把观点分为明确的主题句和一两条具体支持细节以提高连贯性与表达精确度。
Example: I don't have a single favourite food; it depends on the occasion and company. For example, when I'm out with friends I usually choose spicy street food because it's lively and full of flavour, but at family meals I prefer mild, home-cooked dishes for their comfort and nostalgia.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答内容有情感和具体细节,但存在语法、用词和重复错误(如"my taste to food","I like I loved"),句子结构需要更准确。建议改正语法,使用清晰的主题句并补充一两点具体细节(例如味道、香料、记忆),同时保持句子简洁。
Example: As a child my preferences depended on whoever cooked, but I especially loved the stew my grandfather made because he used fresh herbs and slow-simmered it for hours, which gave it a deep, comforting flavour.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答清晰并提供季节性例子,但存在语法和代词使用不当(如"you eat","you prefer"不够个人化),以及词语搭配问题("spice hot food")。建议用第一人称表述个人习惯,并使用合适的词组表达季节性饮食变化,增加一两个具体例子。
Example: I usually stick to the same staples year-round, but I do change some foods with the seasons. For instance, in summer I often eat watermelon and salads to stay cool, while in winter I prefer spicy soups and stews to keep warm.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答有逻辑但表达存在语法和用词错误(如"appetite interest in food decreased"),且句子重复信息较多。建议用更准确的表达说明变化原因,提供具体例子或简单说明何种食物不再喜欢,控制句子数量以保持简洁。
Example: When I was a child I had a big appetite and enjoyed almost any fresh, healthy food. As I've grown older my interest in food has decreased, so I no longer have a particular favourite and tend to choose what feels convenient and healthy.
× It really depends on the situation and who I am eating with.
✓ It really depends on the situation and who I am eating with.
原句中语法正确,但口语中更常用的正式写法可改为"who I eat with"或更正式的"with whom I am eating"。建议:在书面语中使用"with whom I am eating",在口语中维持原句或使用"who I eat with"以保持自然。
× when I am with my friend I prefer spicy street food, but with families I prefer mild home cooked food.
✓ When I am with my friends I prefer spicy street food, but with my family I prefer mild home-cooked food.
原句中"friend"与表示一般情形的复数搭配更自然,应改为"friends"。此外,"families"用于指多户家庭,不符合语境,改为单数集合名词"family"更合适;"home cooked"作为复合形容词需连字符"home-cooked"。建议:注意名词单复数以及复合形容词连字符。
× Unless the food is tasty, I usually would enjoy it.
✓ If the food is tasty, I usually enjoy it.
原句逻辑和时态混用不当,"Unless... I usually would..." 听起来矛盾。一般表达为条件句使用简单现在时:"If the food is tasty, I usually enjoy it." 同时去掉情态动词"would"以匹配一般现在时习惯用法。建议:条件与主句时态保持一致,口语可保留"would"用于虚拟或与过去事实相反的情况。
× When I was a child my taste to food was largely shaped by whoever did cooking.
✓ When I was a child, my taste in food was largely shaped by whoever did the cooking.
原句中应使用介词短语"taste in food"而不是"taste to food";此外缺少定冠词"the"在"did the cooking"中更自然。建议:记住固定搭配"taste in (something)",以及在指代具体行为时常用"the"。
× For example, I like I loved homemade Stew my grandfather made because he used fresh herbs and slow simmered for hours so they always tasted rich.
✓ For example, I loved the homemade stew my grandfather made because he used fresh herbs and slowly simmered it for hours, so it always tasted rich.
原句有冗余和词序问题:"I like I loved"重复且时态混乱,应选过去时"I loved";"homemade Stew"应为小写并加定冠词"the homemade stew";"slow simmered"需要副词形式"slowly simmered"且主语和代词不一致,改为"it"与"stew"一致;句子中加入逗号更清晰。建议:避免重复,注意时态一致,副词用来修饰动词,代词与先行词一致。
× I generally eat same staple foods throughout the year, but other foods change with the season.
✓ I generally eat the same staple foods throughout the year, but other foods change with the seasons.
原句缺少定冠词"the",以及"season"应使用复数"seasons"表示一年中的多个季节。建议:在表特定事物时使用"the",谈一年中多次变化用复数。
× For example, in summer you eat watermelon to keep cool, but in winter you prefer to eat spice hot food to keep warm.
✓ For example, in summer I eat watermelon to keep cool, but in winter I prefer to eat spicy hot food to keep warm.
原句中人称代词不一致:前述为第一人称陈述,应将"you"改为"I"。另外"spice hot"错误,应为形容词"spicy"修饰食物。建议:保持人称一致,形容词使用正确形式(spicy)。
× When I was a child, my appetite was strong. No matter what food is, as long as it's healthy and fresh, I usually enjoyed it.
✓ When I was a child, my appetite was strong. No matter what the food was, as long as it was healthy and fresh, I usually enjoyed it.
句子时态混用:第一句用过去时,后句却用一般现在时"is/it's",需要改成过去时一致:"the food was"和"it was"。建议:叙述过去经历时全句使用过去时,保持时态一致。
× But when I grew up, my appetite interest in food decreased a lot, so I do not have particular preference for food now.
✓ But when I grew up, my interest in food decreased a lot, so I do not have a particular preference for food now.
原句词序和搭配混乱:应使用名词短语"interest in food"而不是"appetite interest in food",并在"particular preference"前加不定冠词"a";整体保持时态现在完成描述现在状态"do not have"可保留。建议:理清名词搭配,注意冠词使用,简化表达以更清晰。
