Have you made any crafts with paper?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答直接,也提供了背景和文化意义,但有明显词汇和搭配错误:“fold a paper”应改为“fold paper”或“make paper crafts”,“creams”和“pepper cranes”应为“paper cranes”。“Absolutely yes”不够自然,建议说“Yes, definitely.” 另外,最后一句信息较多,可以使用更自然的表达,并避免不必要的泛化。
Example: Yes, definitely. When I was little, my teacher taught me how to make paper cranes and lanterns. Paper cranes are often given as gifts because they symbolize good luck and love.
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答了问题,并给出了活动和同伴等细节,但第二句是残句,不能单独使用“Because”。“Lantern”不需要大写;“folding a lantern”可以改为“making paper lanterns”。“exciting”重复使用,且“spend the exciting and interesting time”不自然。建议合并原因,并说明这项活动为什么有趣。
Example: When I was a child, I enjoyed making paper lanterns and decorating them with my friends. It was fun because we could use different colors and compare our designs. We usually did this after class, so it was also a nice way to relax together.
Do you still write physical letters?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答立场清楚,理由具体,逻辑也比较完整。不过“Definitely yes”可以改为更自然的“Yes, occasionally”或“Yes, I do, although not very often”;“on those days”应改为“at that time”或“when those events happened”。前面说“Definitely yes”,后面又说只写很少,语气略有矛盾,应明确表示“偶尔写”。句子较长,可以适当拆分。
Example: Yes, I do, although I only write physical letters occasionally. I find them meaningful because I can look back at them years later and remember important moments. For example, I sometimes write to close friends on their birthdays.
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 回答使用了对比结构,方向正确,但语法问题较多。“For some people who...”结构不完整,建议改为“For people who like collecting old things”;“may lost”应为“may lose”;“in the rubbish”表达不自然,建议使用“throw them away”或“keep them in the bin”。“keep all things”过于绝对,可以用“keep every letter”或“save many of them”。
Example: It depends on the person. People who value sentimental items may keep handwritten letters in a box because the letters remind them of special memories. However, others may throw them away if they prefer a tidy home or mainly use digital messages.
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答结构清楚,使用了条件和转折,内容也直接。但“the paper and pens”应改为“paper and pens”,“must to carry”应改为“must carry”。“go out with my friends to take photos or hang out”可以更简洁自然地表达为“go out with friends to take photos or hang out”。建议补充一个具体用途,例如记笔记或记录想法。
Example: It depends on the occasion. If I’m just going out with friends to take photos or hang out, I usually don’t carry paper and pens. However, if I’m going to study, I always take them with me so that I can make notes or write down new ideas.
× When I was little, my teacher taught me how to fold a paper, creams and lanterns.
✓ When I was little, my teacher taught me how to fold a piece of paper, paper cranes, and lanterns.
“paper”表示纸这种材料时通常是不可数名词,不能直接使用“a paper”。如果指一张纸,应使用“a piece of paper”。另外,“creams”不符合语境;这里应为“paper cranes”(纸鹤)。
× Because it was an exciting activity.
✓ It was an exciting activity.
“Because”引导原因从句,不能单独作为完整句子使用,否则会形成句子残缺。可以去掉“Because”,使句子成为完整的独立句。
× I could draw the pictures with my friends to spend the exciting and interesting time.
✓ I could draw the pictures with my friends to spend an exciting and interesting time.
“time”在表示一段具体且令人愉快的经历时,可以使用不定冠词“an”。因为后面的形容词“exciting”以元音音素开头,所以使用“an”而不是“a”。
× For some people who like to collect old things, they may keep all handwritten letters nowadays, while others don't like to keep all things, they may lost all handwritten letters in the rubbish.
✓ For some people who like to collect old things, they may keep all their handwritten letters nowadays, while others don't like to keep things, so they may lose their handwritten letters in the rubbish.
原句中“while”连接了两个部分,但第二部分又用逗号直接连接两个完整句子,造成逗号拼接错误。可以使用“so”连接表示结果的两个分句。同时,“all things”在这里表达不自然,改为“things”更合适;“their”也能明确说明信件属于这些人。

✓ For some people who like to collect old things, they may keep all their handwritten letters nowadays, while others don't like to keep things, so they may lose their handwritten letters in the rubbish.
情态动词“may”后面必须接动词原形,不能接过去式“lost”。因此应改为“may lose”。
× However, if I want to study, I must to carry them.
✓ However, if I want to study, I must carry them.
情态动词“must”后面直接接动词原形,不能使用“to”。因此应将“must to carry”改为“must carry”。
