Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Candidate
I like to sit by the window, especially when I travel by train because I can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the road and it helps me relax and sometimes I will take some photos about scenery.
Examiner
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Candidate
No I didn't. When I was a child my parents were very busy with their work so we always just have some short journey and if they have some holiday the journey is may be really crowded and expensive so we often go to the city nearby we live in.
Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 总体回答自然且能直接回应问题,但有几点可改进:1) 句子稍长且有重复(“enjoy the beautiful scenery”与“take some photos about scenery”意思重叠),可精简;2) 语法与表达需更地道(例如应说 “take photos of the scenery” 而不是 “about scenery”);3) 按照结构,可先给出主题句,然后用一两个简短支持句并用连接词衔接,避免超过五句。改进时可加入一两处具体细节(如喜欢的景色类型或拍照目的),以增加内容的具体性。
Example: I prefer to sit by the window, especially on trains, because I enjoy watching the changing landscape. For example, I like photographing rivers and mountains as we pass them, which helps me relax and remember the trip.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答直接但表达不够流畅且有语法错误:1) 注意时态和语序(例如“It may be really crowded and expensive”而不是“is may be”);2) 有冗余和重复(“short journey”与“go to the city nearby we live in”可合并并具体化);3) 可用连接词(such as, because)使逻辑更清晰;4) 可补充一两个具体例子(去哪类近城市、一次印象深刻的短途)以增加内容丰富度。
Example: No, we rarely had long trips. Because my parents were very busy, we usually took short, nearby trips to towns within an hour of our home. For instance, I remember visiting a riverside town on a summer weekend where we bought local snacks and walked along the waterfront.
× I like to sit by the window, especially when I travel by train because I can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the road and it helps me relax and sometimes I will take some photos about scenery.
✓ I like to sit by the window, especially when I travel by train, because I can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and it helps me relax. Sometimes I take photos of the scenery.
问题类型: 动词 + -ing 形式 与 介词搭配及表达习惯问题(本条对应编号8/11)。解释(简体中文):原句中“along the road”在描述火车沿途风景时不太地道,应改为“along the way”;“take some photos about scenery”中动词短语和介词使用错误,应为“take photos of the scenery”。另外句子过长,逻辑上应分成两句,使结构更清晰。建议:1) 将“along the road”改为“along the way/along the route”;2) 使用固定搭配“take photos of …”;3) 遇到较长复合句可使用句号分句,避免句子冗长。
× No I didn't. When I was a child my parents were very busy with their work so we always just have some short journey and if they have some holiday the journey is may be really crowded and expensive so we often go to the city nearby we live in.
✓ No, I didn't. When I was a child my parents were very busy with their work, so we only had short trips. If they had a holiday, the trips might be really crowded and expensive, so we often went to the nearby city where we lived.
问题类型: 过去时问题(编号5)。解释(简体中文):对过去情况描述时,句子中时态需要一致。原句中有现在时“have”、“is may be”、“we often go”,应全部改为过去时:“had”、“might be(或 were)”、“we often went”。另外“always just have some short journey”中的词序与搭配不自然,改为“only had short trips”更地道;“the city nearby we live in”应改为“the nearby city where we lived”。建议:1) 描述过去的事情时,主句和从句都用过去时;2) 使用更自然的短语如“short trips”、“nearby city”;3) 注意从句语序与关系词“where”来引导地点从句。
