Part 1

Examiner

What is your favourite food?

Candidate

My favorite food is definitely dumplings because they remind me of family gatherings during the holidays, which makes them very comforting. I love them not only for their delicious taste but also for their versatility. You can fill them with meat, vegetables, or seafood, so there's always something for everyone. Making dumplings together is also fun.

Examiner

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Candidate

As a child I was crazy about sweet things like chocolate candy and ice cream. My parents often rewarded me with these treats. However, since becoming more health conscious, I've cut down on sweets, so nowadays I only have them occasionally as a dessert. For example, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on special occasions.

Examiner

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Candidate

Yes, of course. For example, I usually have hot pot or hearty soups to stay warm in winter because they are comforting and make good use of seasonal ingredients like root vegetables and mushrooms. Whereas in summer I prefer lighter dishes such as cold noodles or salads, so I don't feel too heavy in the heat and can stay refreshed.

Examiner

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, my taste changed a lot when I was a child. I used to love sweets like candy and cake, but as I grew up, I developed a preference for savory dishes because I now prefer stronger, more complex flavors. I also enjoy exploring international cuisines, for example, Japanese sushi for its delicate texture.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 88.0

Suggestion: 回答自然流畅,信息完整且有情感连接,但略微冗长且句子之间可加入更多连接词以增强连贯性。建议保持句子数量在4-5句内,同时用一两个连接词(例如 furthermore, moreover, additionally)使段落更有逻辑,并补充一两个具体细节(例如最喜欢的馅料或特定节日)以提高具体性。

Example: I love dumplings because they remind me of family holiday gatherings and feel very comforting. Moreover, they taste great and are highly versatile; for instance, my favorite filling is pork and chive. Because of this variety, there’s always something for everyone. Making them together is also a fun family tradition.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Score: 86.0

Suggestion: 回答结构清晰并有对比(过去与现在),但可以用连接词强化因果关系并提供更具体的时间或频率细节以增强说服力。注意避免重复表达(例如再次提到"sweets"多次),用更丰富的词汇替换以展示词汇范围。

Example: When I was young I loved sweets such as chocolate and ice cream because my parents often gave them as rewards. However, I've become more health-conscious, so I now limit them to special occasions, for example just one scoop of vanilla ice cream on birthdays.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Score: 90.0

Suggestion: 回答非常符合题意,给出季节性对比且包含具体例子。建议增加一两个连接词(for instance, on the other hand)使句子更紧凑,并可提到频率(e.g. often, usually)以显示更自然的口语节奏。

Example: Yes — in winter I often eat hot pot or hearty soups to stay warm and use seasonal ingredients like root vegetables and mushrooms. On the other hand, in summer I usually choose lighter dishes such as cold noodles or salads to stay refreshed in the heat.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 87.0

Suggestion: 回答内容合适,有个人经历与原因,但开头句子有小错误(时态与逻辑:'changed a lot when I was a child'应为从小到现在的变化)。建议改为更准确的时间表述并用连接词说明因果(e.g. as a result, therefore),此外可以给出一两个更具体的例子来丰富细节。

Example: Yes, my tastes have changed since childhood. I used to love sweets like candy and cake, but as I grew older I developed a preference for savory dishes because I enjoy stronger, more complex flavors. As a result, I now also like exploring international cuisines, for example sushi for its delicate texture.

Grammar

Sentence structure errors

× Yes, my taste changed a lot when I was a child.

Yes, my taste changed a lot since I was a child.

原句時態與語意不一致。『when I was a child』表示在兒童時期已經發生變化,與前文問及『Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?』不匹配。使用 since 引導的時間狀語更能表達『自從小時候以來發生變化且持續到現在』。建議:根據提問時態選擇 since(表示自從那時起到現在)或 when(表示在那段時間內發生)。

Present tense issue

× I used to love sweets like candy and cake, but as I grew up, I developed a preference for savory dishes because I now prefer stronger, more complex flavors.

I used to love sweets like candy and cake, but as I grew up I developed a preference for savory dishes and now prefer stronger, more complex flavors.

原句中混用了過去時與現在時的連接方式稍顯累贅且標點處理不當。將句子連貫地從過去習慣(used to)過渡到現在的偏好(now prefer),刪去不必要逗號,使時態銜接清晰。建議:描述由過去到現在的變化時,保留過去時表示過去習慣,然後用現在時表達當前狀態,連詞用 and 或 but 清楚連接。

Incorrect use of prepositions

× For example, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on special occasions.

For example, I have a scoop of vanilla ice cream on special occasions.

原句缺少動詞,導致不完整(片語而非完整句子)。需要加上動詞短語如 'I have' 或 'I eat' 來構成完整句子。建議:確保例句為完整句,包含主語和動詞,以便語意明確。

Incorrect use of conjunction

× Yes, of course. For example, I usually have hot pot or hearty soups to stay warm in winter because they are comforting and make good use of seasonal ingredients like root vegetables and mushrooms. Whereas in summer I prefer lighter dishes such as cold noodles or salads, so I don't feel too heavy in the heat and can stay refreshed.

原文將『Whereas』置於句首,接續前句時標點使用不當。'Whereas' 常用於連接兩個子句,應與前句以逗號連接或改用 'while'。建議:用逗號連接對比子句或把 'Whereas' 改為 'while',保持句子流暢並遵循標點規則。

Incorrect pronoun use

× My favorite food is definitely dumplings because they remind me of family gatherings during the holidays, which makes them very comforting.

My favorite food is definitely dumplings because they remind me of family gatherings during the holidays, which makes me feel very comforted.

原句中關係代詞 'which' 指代整個前文事實,後面接 'makes them very comforting' 導致指代對象混淆。把受詞改為 'me' 或改寫為 'which makes me feel very comforted',可使語意明確。建議:注意代詞指代對象,確保主語與受詞一致,或重寫從句以避免歧義。
