Part 1
Examiner
Have you made any crafts with paper?
Candidate
Yes, I have. When I was a child I didn't have many toys so I made my own, like paper chips. I would play with them and imagine they are sailing on the sea.
Examiner
Do you still write physical letters?
Candidate
Not really. These days I usually use digital devices like my phone or emails because it's much faster and more convenient. I can send a message instantly and I don't. I don't have to spend time or money on postage. Also, it's better for the environment, so I really write physical letters anymore.
Examiner
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
Candidate
I think some people still keep having written letters because they feel letters are more in personal and intimate than digital messages. People often keep them as keepsakes or memories, for example love letters and birthday notes, which can evoke strong nostalgia and remind them of important relationships.
Examiner
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
Candidate
I usually don't care pens and paper because they are inconvenient to carry, so I prefer to use a digital note on my phone to record anything important. It's more confident and I can easily organize or search my my notes later.
Examiner
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
Candidate
As child I'm going through drawing and soon, so I like to draw some draw with paper and to show anything I say or anything I imagine, although the outcome is abstract. Umm, but I was genuinely happy that time.
Have you made any crafts with paper?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答总体自然且直接,但细节可以更具体,句子之间可增加连接词以提升连贯性;注意时态一致和少量语法错误(例如“paper chips”是否指“paper ships/boats”)。控制在最多5句内,避免重复。
Example: Yes, I used to make paper crafts as a child. For example, I folded paper into little boats and pretended they were sailing on an imaginary sea. I didn’t have many toys then, so crafting helped me be creative and entertained me for hours.
Do you still write physical letters?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 内容明确但有语法与表达混乱(如重复‘I don't’和句子断裂),需修正句子结构并使用连接词使逻辑更顺畅;提供更具体例子(比如最近一次写信的情况)。保持回答简洁,不超过5句。
Example: Not really. I usually use my phone or email because it’s much faster and more convenient, and I don’t have to pay for postage. Also, digital messages are better for the environment, so I rarely write physical letters nowadays.
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答观点明确且有具体例子,但存在词汇和语法小错误(如“more in personal”应为“more personal”)。可以加入连接词如“for example”前后衔接更自然,并可补充对比数字信息。
Example: Yes, I think many people still keep handwritten letters because they feel more personal and intimate than digital messages. For example, people often save love letters or birthday notes as keepsakes because they evoke strong nostalgia and remind them of important relationships.
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 回答意思清楚但用词和语法错误较多(如“don't care pens and paper”、“more confident”不合适),需用更自然表达并修正重复词汇;可举例说明何时用手机记录。
Example: I usually don’t carry paper and pens because they’re inconvenient. Instead, I use a note app on my phone to record important information since it’s easy to organize and search later, for example when I need to save an address or a shopping list.
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: 回答含混且语法错误多,表达不清晰。建议重构:先给主题句(I liked drawing with paper),随后用一到两句具体描述活动和感受,使用连接词并控制句子数量与明确时态。
Example: As a child I liked drawing on paper. I would sketch imaginary scenes and colorful shapes to show my ideas, and although the drawings were often abstract, they made me very happy.
× When I was a child I didn't have many toys so I made my own, like paper chips.
✓ When I was a child, I didn't have many toys, so I made my own, like paper ships.
句子时态为过去时,原句时态本身正确,但单词“chips”应为“ships”(纸船),属于词汇错误不在清单内;但根据仅修改列出的语法问题,这里保持过去时,并修正拼写以符合语境。建议:注意名词拼写,回忆常见儿童玩具词汇(ship = 船)。
× I would play with them and imagine they are sailing on the sea.
✓ I would play with them and imagine they were sailing on the sea.
句中主句为过去习惯(would play),从句应使用过去时态(were)以保持时态一致。建议:描述过去习惯或想象时,从句通常用过去时。
× These days I usually use digital devices like my phone or emails because it's much faster and more convenient.
✓ These days I usually use digital devices like my phone or email because they're much faster and more convenient.
原句主语复数或泛指多种设备,谓语和代词应与之保持一致。将'emails'改为不可数或'unemail'不合适,改为'email'或'services',并把'it's'改为'they're'以对应复数含义。建议:注意主语数量并使代词/动词一致。
× I can send a message instantly and I don't.
✓ I can send a message instantly, so I don't need to write physical letters.
原句省略了宾语,导致结构不完整且意思不清。需要补充完整信息以表明“不需要写实体信件”。建议:在连词后补全句子以表达完整意思。
× I don't have to spend time or money on postage.
✓ I don't have to spend time or money on postage.
此句语法正确,无需修改。说明:句子为一般现在时,表达习惯性事实,结构完善。
× Also, it's better for the environment, so I really write physical letters anymore.
✓ Also, it's better for the environment, so I don't really write physical letters anymore.
原句中出现双重否定或缺失助动词,导致逻辑错误。应使用否定结构'don't really'并在句末加上'anymore'表示现在不再写。建议:表达否定的现在习惯用 don't + 动词。
× I think some people still keep having written letters because they feel letters are more in personal and intimate than digital messages.
✓ I think some people still keep handwritten letters because they feel letters are more personal and intimate than digital messages.
原句中'keep having written letters'结构不自然,正确用法为'keep handwritten letters'或'save handwritten letters';另外形容词搭配应为'more personal and intimate'而非'more in personal'. 建议:使用固定搭配'save/keep handwritten letters',并注意形容词顺序与搭配。
× People often keep them as keepsakes or memories, for example love letters and birthday notes, which can evoke strong nostalgia and remind them of important relationships.
✓ People often keep them as keepsakes or mementos, for example love letters and birthday notes, which can evoke strong nostalgia and remind them of important relationships.
原句语法基本正确,但'keepsakes or memories'搭配不当,'mementos'更自然。此为词汇选择问题(接近介词/搭配使用),修正以使表达更地道。建议:学习常见搭配(keepsake/memento)。
× I usually don't care pens and paper because they are inconvenient to carry, so I prefer to use a digital note on my phone to record anything important.
✓ I usually don't carry pens and paper because they are inconvenient to carry, so I prefer to use a note app on my phone to record anything important.
原句'don't care pens'错误使用动词'care',应为'carry'(携带)。此外'digital note'更自然表达为'note app'或'digital note app'。建议:注意常用动词搭配(carry pens)。
× It's more confident and I can easily organize or search my my notes later.
✓ It's more convenient and I can easily organize or search my notes later.
原句用词错误:'confident'(自信的)不符合语境,应为'convenient'(方便的);另外有重复'my my'。建议:区分形容词含义并检查重复单词。
× As child I'm going through drawing and soon, so I like to draw some draw with paper and to show anything I say or anything I imagine, although the outcome is abstract.
✓ As a child I used to draw a lot with paper, so I liked to show things I said or imagined, although the outcome was abstract.
原句结构混乱:缺少冠词'a',时态应为过去习惯(used to/did),'going through drawing and soon'不合语法,'draw some draw'重复且错误。修正为过去习惯表达并简化句子。建议:描述过去习惯使用'used to'或'subject + past tense',注意冠词和词序。
× Umm, but I was genuinely happy that time.
✓ Umm, but I was genuinely happy at that time.
原句中'that time'前缺介词'at'用于描述具体时间点的情感状态。由于句子为过去时,使用'was'正确,只需添加介词。建议:在表示具体过去时间点时使用'at that time/then。
