Part 1
Examiner
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Candidate
Actually not a shy child from the beginning so I feel uncomfortable with the strangers I didn't know. For example, I never joined the clubs because it's hard for me to talk with strangers.
Examiner
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidate
For most people, it's probably an unbelievable experience to exercise their will and broaden their horizons. But for me it's difficult things because I just want to do some traditional things.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: 回答没有直接说明“有”还是“没有”,而且第一句存在明显语法问题:应说“I was actually a shy child”或“I wasn’t a very outgoing child”。建议先直接回答问题,再解释原因,并使用连词使内容更连贯,例如“because”和“For example”。注意使用正确的时态:谈论童年经历时,应多使用过去时,如“felt”“didn’t join”。此外,“the strangers I didn’t know”不自然,可以改为“people I didn’t know”或“strangers”。
Example: No, I didn’t have many opportunities to try new activities as a child because I was quite shy. I felt uncomfortable talking to people I didn’t know, so I rarely joined clubs or group activities. For example, I usually preferred reading at home to taking part in school events.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: 回答表达了个人观点,但开头没有清楚说明“应该”还是“不应该”,而且“unbelievable experience”“exercise their will”和“difficult things”搭配不自然。建议先给出明确立场,例如“Yes, I think people should...”或“Not necessarily...”,然后说明具体好处或个人原因。可以用“broaden their horizons”这一准确表达,但应搭配更自然的动词,如“help people become more open-minded”。同时,避免只说“traditional things”,应具体说明喜欢哪些熟悉的活动,并使用“However”连接普遍观点和个人情况。
Example: Yes, I think people should try different activities because this can broaden their horizons and help them become more open-minded. They may also discover new interests or talents in the process. However, I personally prefer familiar activities, such as reading and watching films, because I feel more comfortable with them.
× Actually not a shy child from the beginning so I feel uncomfortable with the strangers I didn't know.
✓ Actually, I was not a shy child from the beginning, so I felt uncomfortable with the strangers I didn't know.
“not a shy child”前面缺少谓语动词。描述过去的个人经历时,应使用“was”:I was not a shy child。英语完整句子通常需要主语和谓语动词。
× Actually not a shy child from the beginning so I feel uncomfortable with the strangers I didn't know.
✓ Actually, I was not a shy child from the beginning, so I felt uncomfortable with the strangers I didn't know.
问题发生在童年时期,属于过去经历,因此“feel”应改为过去式“felt”,与“didn't know”保持时态一致。建议叙述过去经历时,统一使用一般过去时。
× For example, I never joined the clubs because it's hard for me to talk with strangers.
✓ For example, I never joined clubs because it's hard for me to talk with strangers.
“clubs”在这里表示泛指的俱乐部,并不是双方都知道的特定俱乐部,所以不应使用定冠词“the”。泛指复数名词时通常不加冠词。
× For example, I never joined the clubs because it's hard for me to talk with strangers.
✓ For example, I never joined clubs because it was hard for me to talk with strangers.
句子描述的是童年时期的情况,应该使用过去时。因此,“it's”应改为“it was”。建议根据问题中的时间背景,把过去经历中的现在时改为过去时。
× But for me it's difficult things because I just want to do some traditional things.
✓ But for me, it's difficult because I just want to do some traditional things.
“it's difficult things”结构不正确,因为“it”不能直接和复数名词“things”搭配作表语。这里真正想表达的是“这对我来说很困难”,应使用“it's difficult”。
