Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Candidate
Actually I'm in all sorts of music. I guess it depends on my emotion. When I uh, for example, I failed in an exam, then I will. I prefer sad music to help me express my emotion, but if I get a good feeling then I prefer other.
Examiner
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
Candidate
Yes, that's for sure. Happy music usually brings me good mood and it can let me become more energetic and positive, for example when I feel pleasant and I also usually I will listen like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift.
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答要更直接并注意句子完整,减少犹豫词和重复。用主题句开头表明偏好,然后用一两句具体例子和原因支持,连接词要清晰(例如 because, so, when)。注意用更准确的表达替代“other”。另外保持答案不超过五句。
Example: I listen to both sad and happy music, depending on my mood. For example, when I fail an exam I prefer sad songs because they help me process my emotions and feel understood. On the other hand, when I’m in a good mood I choose upbeat songs to celebrate.
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答明确但要避免语法和词序错误,使用连贯的支持细节并给出具体例子。把断句处理好,使用合适的连接词(for example, because, so)并用短句增加流畅度。可补充为什么这些歌手适合提升情绪。保持不超过五句。
Example: Yes, definitely. Happy music lifts my mood and makes me feel more energetic because of its upbeat rhythm and positive lyrics. For example, when I want to feel lively I often listen to Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift because their songs are catchy and motivating.
× Actually I'm in all sorts of music.
✓ Actually I'm into all sorts of music.
原句中的介词“in”用法不当,英语中常用短语是“be into something”表示“喜欢/对……感兴趣”。因此应把“in”改为“into”。建议多记忆常用动词短语搭配,例如“be into”。
× I guess it depends on my emotion.
✓ I guess it depends on my mood.
虽然原句语法上并非严格错误,但“emotion”在此语境中不如“mood”自然。此句为一般现在时,表示习惯或普遍情况,用“depends on my mood(取决于我的心情)”更地道。建议区分 emotion(情感)与 mood(心情/情绪状态)。
× When I uh, for example, I failed in an exam, then I will.
✓ For example, when I fail an exam, I prefer sad music.
原句时态与结构混乱:用“When I...I failed”混合现在和过去,且句尾“then I will.”不完整。根据考试情境应表达一般情况,故改为一般现在时“when I fail an exam”,并补全谓语为“prefer sad music”。建议在表达习惯性反应时使用一般现在时并确保句子完整。
× I failed in an exam, then I will.
✓ When I failed an exam, I preferred sad music.
如果说的是过去某次经历,应使用过去时一致:将“I failed”与“I preferred”对应。原句“then I will.”时态不一致且含义不清。建议确定时间参考(过去或一般现在)并保持时态一致。
× I prefer sad music to help me express my emotion, but if I get a good feeling then I prefer other.
✓ I prefer sad music to help me express my emotions, but if I feel good then I prefer others.
1) “express my emotion”中“emotion”用复数或改为“feelings/mood”更自然;2) “get a good feeling”搭配不当,常用“feel good”或“be in a good mood”;3) “prefer other”缺少名词或代词复数形式,改为“prefer others”或更自然地“prefer other kinds of music”。建议注意名词单复数和常用搭配。
× Yes, that's for sure. Happy music usually brings me good mood and it can let me become more energetic and positive, for example when I feel pleasant and I also usually I will listen like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift.
✓ Yes, that's for sure. Happy music usually puts me in a good mood and makes me more energetic and positive. For example, when I feel happy I usually listen to artists like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift.
多个问题:1) “brings me good mood”应该用固定搭配“put(s) me in a good mood”;2) “it can let me become”不自然,应改为“makes me”;3) “when I feel pleasant”搭配不当,改为“when I feel happy”;4) “I also usually I will listen like”结构混乱并且“listen”需加介词“to”,以及“listen to artists like...”。建议学习固定搭配(put in a good mood, listen to)并简化句子结构以保证流畅性。
