Examiner
Do you take photos of buildings?
Candidate
No, because is this next to my home and I can see it every day, so it doesn't seem very special for me.

Candidate
Yes, I would like to visit the heritage sites, for example, like the old temples, because I think it contains the past culture and also the local traditions.

Are there tall buildings near your home?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答总体清晰且信息充实,但句子略长且有轻微重复(例如 “big, modern and tall building” 可精简)。可以用更自然的连接词并增加一到两个具体细节(如楼层数或附近的特色店铺)来提升表达流畅性和内容具体性。注意最多不超过五句。
Example: Yes, there is a modern, tall shopping mall near my home. It has about eight floors and houses a variety of shops and restaurants. Many people visit on weekends because it's well connected by bus and there is a popular bookstore on the ground floor.
Do you take photos of buildings?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答直接但存在语法错误(“because is this next to my home”)且细节不足。应先给出主题句,然后用连接词补充原因和具体例子来支持观点,同时修正语法并保持自然简洁。
Example: No, I don't usually take photos of buildings because the ones near my home are very familiar to me. Since I see the same mall every day, it doesn't feel special enough to photograph.
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答内容恰当但有小的搭配与语法问题(如“contains the past culture”应改为“reflects”或“preserves”)。可以更具体说明想参观哪座寺庙或期待看到的具体文化元素,并用连接词增强逻辑。
Example: Yes, I would like to visit historical buildings such as old temples. For example, I want to see the intricate carvings and traditional ceremonies there because they reflect the area's past culture and local traditions.
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答明确且有个人理由,但句子较长且有时态与动词形式小错误(“because it made me feel safer”应为“makes me feel safer”)。建议分成两句,使用连接词并补充一两个具体原因或例子来增强说服力。
Example: Not really. I'm afraid of heights, so living in a very tall building would make me feel anxious. I prefer a small house or a low-rise building because it feels safer and more comfortable for me.
× Yes, there is a big, modern and tall building near my home and it is a market mall.
✓ Yes, there is a big, modern, and tall building near my home; it is a market mall.
句中有多项并列修饰语时,逗号用于分隔更清晰。此外用分号连接两部分可以避免句子过长或并列连词不清的情况。建议使用“big, modern, and tall building”并在两部分之间用分号或句号分开以提高可读性。
× Many people go there on the weekends because it has plenty of shops, restaurants and it's easy to reach by bus.
✓ Many people go there on the weekends because it has plenty of shops and restaurants, and it's easy to reach by bus.
列表并列项应在倒数第二项前加连词“and”,并在并列项之间用逗号分隔以使句子结构清晰。此处并非动名词问题,而是并列连接点缺失,调整后语义更顺畅。
× No, because is this next to my home and I can see it every day, so it doesn't seem very special for me.
✓ No, because it is next to my home and I can see it every day, so it doesn't seem very special to me.
原句中主语与谓语倒置(“is this”应为“it is”),导致句子结构错误。同时固定搭配是“special to someone”而不是“special for someone”。建议改为“it is next to my home”并使用“special to me”。
× Yes, I would like to visit the heritage sites, for example, like the old temples, because I think it contains the past culture and also the local traditions.
✓ Yes, I would like to visit heritage sites, for example old temples, because I think they contain past culture and local traditions.
1) “heritage sites” 前的定冠词通常可省略;2) “for example” 与“like”重复,应二选一;3) 主语“heritage sites/old temples”为复数,谓语动词应使用复数形式“contain”而不是“contains”;4) 去掉多余的“the”使表达更自然。建议注意主谓一致并避免重复短语。
× Not really because I'm afraid of heights so if I live in a very high building I will feel uncomfortable and anxious and I prefer to live in a small house or low rise building because it made me feel safer.
✓ Not really, because I'm afraid of heights. If I lived in a very high building, I would feel uncomfortable and anxious, and I prefer to live in a small house or a low-rise building because it makes me feel safer.
1) 在表达假设时,应使用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气:主句用过去时“If I lived...”,从句用“would”表达结果;原句使用“if I live... I will”虽可但与前句情感表达更自然用虚拟语气;2) “made me feel safer”时态不一致,应改为一般现在时“makes me feel safer”以与当前偏好一致;3) “low rise building”需连字符“low-rise”并加冠词“a”。建议把句子分成两个较短句子以提高清晰度,并注意时态一致与虚拟语气使用。
