Examiner

Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?

Candidate

Yes, I do prefer to sit by the window when travelling since I can enjoy some beautiful scenery and also it makes me more flexible when I want to take a short snap. For example, I can watch some beautiful villages go by

Examiner

Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?

Candidate

Yes, definitely when it comes to the known journey, I would like to say the travel to inner Mongolia when I was a secondary school student. We first arrived in Beijing and then we take a transfer flight to Mongolia. It almost takes one day so it is really a long trip.

Part 1

Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: 回答直接,理由和例子也比较具体。不过,“do prefer”略显不自然,可以直接说“prefer”;“it makes me more flexible when I want to take a short snap”表达不准确,建议改为“it makes it easier for me to take photos”。另外,“take a short snap”不符合常见搭配,应使用“take a quick photo”。可以加入连接词“Besides”或“As a result”来增强逻辑,并在结尾补充一个简短结果。

Example: Yes, I prefer sitting by the window when I travel because I can enjoy the scenery along the way. Besides, it’s easier for me to take photos, especially when we pass beautiful villages or mountains. As a result, the journey feels more enjoyable and less boring.

Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: 回答提供了具体经历,但开头“When it comes to the known journey”不自然,建议直接回答“Yes, I did. The longest journey was...”此外,时态需要统一使用过去时:将“we take”改为“we took”,“it almost takes”改为“it took almost a whole day”。“take a transfer flight”应改为“take a connecting flight”。建议按照“直接回答—旅行过程—感受”的结构组织内容,并使用“First, then, and finally”等连接词。

Example: Yes, I did. The longest journey I had with my family was a trip to Inner Mongolia when I was in secondary school. First, we flew to Beijing, and then we took a connecting flight to Inner Mongolia. The whole journey took almost a day, so I felt quite tired when we finally arrived.

Grammar

5: Past tense issue

× We first arrived in Beijing and then we take a transfer flight to Mongolia.

✓ We first arrived in Beijing, and then we took a transfer flight to Mongolia.

这句话描述的是过去的旅行经历,因此并列动词都应使用过去式。"arrived" 已经是过去式,所以 "take" 也应改为过去式 "took"。建议讲述过去发生的事情时,保持整句话的时态一致。

5: Past tense issue

× It almost takes one day so it is really a long trip.

✓ It took almost one day, so it was really a long trip.

这句话讲的是过去的旅行,因此 "takes" 应改为过去式 "took","is" 应改为过去式 "was"。描述过去的事件时,相关动词通常都要使用过去时。句中加入逗号也能更清楚地分开两个结果关系的分句。
