Part 1
Examiner
Have you made any crafts with paper?
Candidate
Yes, I have made quite a few papercrafts. When I was younger, I loved making paper airplanes or origami, especially paper animals, which I learned from the TikTok. I also enjoyed making handmade cards for my friend's birthdays or creating paper decorations at home during festivals.
Examiner
Do you still write physical letters?
Candidate
No, I don't write physical letters these days. Due to the advances in technology, it is much easier and faster to send messages online or use social media. To be honest, I don't even remember the last time I wrote a letter by hand.
Examiner
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
Candidate
Absolutely. There are still so many people who keep handwritten letters these days. They feel much more personal and meaningful than digital messages. So people often save them as souvenirs, especially if they are from loved ones or for some or for some special occasions like birthdays.
Examiner
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
Candidate
Yes, definitely. I always carry a notebook and a pen with me. I like to write down notes whenever they come to me. Sometimes I even sketch or doodle when I have some free time. Honestly, I find it more reliable than using my phones for notes.
Examiner
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
Candidate
As a child, I loved doing origami. I enjoyed folding paper into different shapes like animals, boats, or plants. It was always amazing to see simple sheets of paper transformed into something 3 dimensional and I learned a lot of these skills from my parents or at school.

× I have made quite a few papercrafts.
✓ I have made quite a few paper crafts.
句中“papercrafts”作为复合词写作“paper crafts”更为常见和清晰;此处不是定冠词问题,但归类到“定冠词/冠词使用”以便遵循纠错清单。建议使用“paper crafts”或“papercraft”单数作不可数名词视具体语境。
× which I learned from the TikTok.
✓ which I learned from TikTok.
在指一般平台名称时通常不加定冠词“the”。中文建议:平台名称前通常不加“the”,所以应说“from TikTok”。
× I also enjoyed making handmade cards for my friend's birthdays or creating paper decorations at home during festivals.
✓ I also enjoyed making handmade cards for my friends' birthdays or creating paper decorations at home during festivals.
原句中“my friend's birthdays”暗示只有一位朋友有多个生日,语义不符。应使用复数所有格“my friends' birthdays”表示多位朋友的生日。中文建议:把“朋友的生日”改为复数所有格,表示不同朋友的生日。
× Due to the advances in technology, it is much easier and faster to send messages online or use social media.
✓ Due to advances in technology, it is much easier and faster to send messages online or use social media.
“advances in technology”可以不加定冠词“the”;在泛指技术进步时更自然地说“due to advances in technology”。中文建议:表示一般性的“技术进步”时,不需要在前面加“the”。
× I don't even remember the last time I wrote a letter by hand.
✓ I don't even remember the last time I wrote a letter by hand.
该句语法正确,无需改动;列出以示确认。中文说明:句子结构正确,时态和介词“by hand”使用也恰当。
× There are still so many people who keep handwritten letters these days.
✓ There are still many people who keep handwritten letters these days.
“so many”用于口语强调时可以,但在正式回答中可改为“many”更简洁自然。中文建议:如需更正式或中性语气,用“many”替代“so many”。
× So people often save them as souvenirs, especially if they are from loved ones or for some or for some special occasions like birthdays.
✓ So people often save them as souvenirs, especially if they are from loved ones or for special occasions like birthdays.
原句中出现重复短语“or for some or for some”,属连词/短语重复错误,需删除多余部分。中文建议:删除重复的“or for some”,使句子连贯。
× I always carry a notebook and a pen with me.
✓ I always carry a notebook and a pen with me.
句子本身正确;包含以示确认。中文说明:代词和短语“with me”用法正确,无需修改。
× I like to write down notes whenever they come to me.
✓ I like to write down notes whenever ideas come to me.
原句中的代词“they”指代不清,造成歧义。改为“ideas”明确指代。中文建议:避免使用不明确的代词“they”,应直接写出所指对象,如“ideas(想法)”。
× Honestly, I find it more reliable than using my phones for notes.
✓ Honestly, I find it more reliable than using my phone for notes.
“phones”为复数,但此处通常指个人常用的手机,应使用单数“phone”。中文建议:若指自己的一部手机,用单数“phone”;若确指多部手机则用复数。
× It was always amazing to see simple sheets of paper transformed into something 3 dimensional and I learned a lot of these skills from my parents or at school.
✓ It was always amazing to see simple sheets of paper transformed into something three-dimensional, and I learned many of these skills from my parents or at school.
“3 dimensional”应写为“three-dimensional”(连字符+拼写完整);“a lot of these skills”搭配不自然,改为“many of these skills”。中文建议:数字写作时在正式文本中用单词,复合形容词用连字符;“many of these skills”比“a lot of these skills”更地道。
