Examiner
Are there tall buildings near your home?
Candidate
Yeah, so there is a tower near my home which is very old and tall and it is next to the Yangtze River. So I very like to walk, uh, near the tower. One window blows.
Examiner
Do you take photos of buildings?
Candidate
Yes, there are a lot of photos in my album and some of them are photos of me and the other a lot of buildings from all of the world. Some are tall buildings and some are short buildings. Umm.
Examiner
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Candidate
Yes, I'd like to visit, uh, uh, sky tower, uh, in the east of China. I learned it from the Internet that uh, you can, uh, enjoy the beautiful skyline, uh, in the sky tower from the top.
Examiner
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Candidate
Umm, also, I really enjoy the beautiful scenery from the top, but I don't like to live in a tall building because it is a little bit, uh, tired to uh, wait for the elevator.
Are there tall buildings near your home?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: 回答要更直接并注意语法和连贯性。开头用主题句回应问题,然后用1-2个具体细节支持。避免填充词(uh, um)和不清楚的句子(如“One window blows”)。可改用时间地点或感受来丰富细节,并用连接词使句子更流畅。
Example: Yes. There is an old, tall tower next to the Yangtze River near my home. I often go for walks there because the riverside view is peaceful and the architecture is interesting, so it’s one of my favorite local spots.
Do you take photos of buildings?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答应更具体并结构清晰。先给出直接肯定或否定,然后用1-2个具体例子说明你拍什么、为什么拍或拍摄频率。减少重复(重复“a lot”)并避免无意义的停顿。
Example: Yes, I often take photos of buildings. For example, I have pictures of modern skyscrapers I saw on a trip and also historic temples near my city; I enjoy capturing different styles and architectural details.
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: 回答要更自然并提供更具体理由。直接说出想去的建筑并说明原因,可加上细节如地点、特色或期待的活动。用连词使句子顺畅,避免过多犹豫语。
Example: Yes, I would like to visit the Sky Tower in eastern China. I read online that its observation deck offers panoramic views of the city and the coastline, so I’d love to go there at sunset to see the skyline.
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答结构较好但需更简洁自然。先给出明确态度,再给出1-2个具体原因,必要时可用比较或例子加强说服力。避免频繁语气词,使用连词(however, because, so)提高流畅性。
Example: I enjoy views from high buildings, but I wouldn’t want to live in one. For instance, waiting for crowded elevators and feeling isolated from street life would make daily routines less convenient for me.
× Yeah, so there is a tower near my home which is very old and tall and it is next to the Yangtze River.
✓ Yes, there is a tower near my home which is very old and tall, and it is next to the Yangtze River.
句首的非正式口语“Yeah, so”在书面或正式回答中更好用“Yes,”替换;此外原句缺少逗号连接并列句,需在“tall”和“and”之间加逗号以分隔两个并列分句,使句子更清晰。注意这是与“There be”结构相关的表达调整。
× So I very like to walk, uh, near the tower.
✓ So I really like to walk near the tower.
原句中“very like”是不正确的搭配,英语应使用副词“really”或“very much”修饰动词“like”。同时去掉多余的停顿词"uh"并把介词短语与动词连写,句子更自然。该修改涉及句子结构和副词使用。
× One window blows.
✓ A window opens/One window is broken and the wind blows through it.
原句“One window blows”语义不明确且句子结构错误。需要根据说话者想表达的意思改为“A window opens”或具体说明窗户被风吹动的情况(例如“One window is broken and the wind blows through it”)。这属于句子结构错误,需明确主语和谓语及完整意义。
× Yes, there are a lot of photos in my album and some of them are photos of me and the other a lot of buildings from all of the world.
✓ Yes, there are a lot of photos in my album. Some of them are photos of me and many are of buildings from all over the world.
原句中“the other a lot of buildings”结构错误,应使用"many are of buildings"或"many show buildings",并且“from all of the world”应改为习惯用法“from all over the world”。同时句子较长,可分为两句以提高可读性。属于There be用法和句子结构/搭配错误。
× Some are tall buildings and some are short buildings.
✓ Some are tall buildings and some are short.
在英语中可以省略第二个“buildings”而仍然保持清晰,所以改为“some are short”更自然。此处调整属于There be结构的简化与重复删除。
× Yes, I'd like to visit, uh, uh, sky tower, uh, in the east of China.
✓ Yes, I'd like to visit the Sky Tower in the east of China.
专有名词前通常需要定冠词或大写,且建筑名称需首字母大写;多余的停顿词应删除。"in the east of China"是可以接受的,但更常见的说法是"in eastern China"或"in the east of China",此处保留原意并统一格式。属于There be/冠词与专有名词用法问题。
× I learned it from the Internet that uh, you can, uh, enjoy the beautiful skyline, uh, in the sky tower from the top.
✓ I read on the Internet that you can enjoy the beautiful skyline from the top of the Sky Tower.
“learned it from the Internet”在此语境更自然的表达是“read on the Internet”。介词短语“from the top of the Sky Tower”位置应靠近被修饰的动词短语以避免歧义;删除多余停顿词并把建筑名大写。此处涉及动名搭配和介词短语位置问题。
× Umm, also, I really enjoy the beautiful scenery from the top, but I don't like to live in a tall building because it is a little bit, uh, tired to uh, wait for the elevator.
✓ I enjoy the beautiful scenery from the top, but I don't want to live in a tall building because it's a bit tiring to wait for the elevator.
原句中“it is ... tired to wait”是不正确的,应该用形容词“tiring”来描述令人感到累的动作或状态;此外“不 like to live”更自然为“don't want to live”。简化多余停顿词并调整结构,使因果关系更清晰。属于情态动词/意愿表达和形容词形式使用错误。
