Part 1
Examiner
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Candidate
Yes, I did. Well, when I was a child, my school opened up to class courses that students could choose and sign up for. So I enrolled in painting and dancing classes. I really enjoyed them because painting helped me be creative and dancing kept me active.
Examiner
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidate
Yes, I think people should try as many different things as they can because we only have one life and if you don't try different things I mean you don't even know what do you really like or what do you want to spend your time for? And I think it's really useful and meaningful for both of us to
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答内容完整,先直接回答问题,再介绍绘画和舞蹈课程,并说明了参加这些活动的原因,结构清晰。建议改进“opened up to class courses”这一不自然的表达,可改为“offered elective classes”或“offered a range of classes”。此外,“painting helped me be creative”可以改为更自然的“painting allowed me to express my creativity”。
Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child, my school offered a range of elective classes that students could sign up for. I chose painting and dancing, and I really enjoyed both of them because painting allowed me to express my creativity, while dancing kept me active.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: 你的观点很明确,也给出了“了解自己的兴趣”这一理由,但答案在句末被截断,导致表达不完整;同时出现了较多口语填充语(如“I mean”)和语法错误。“what do you really like”应改为“what you really like”,“what do you want to spend your time for”应改为“how you want to spend your time”。建议使用“because... In addition...”组织答案,并补充一个具体例子或结果。
Example: Yes, definitely. I think people should try a variety of activities because this is the best way to discover their interests and strengths. For example, someone who tries volunteering, sports, and music may eventually find an activity that suits their personality. It can also make life more exciting and help people gain useful skills.
× You don't even know what do you really like or what do you want to spend your time for?
✓ You don't even know what you really like or what you want to spend your time on.
在宾语从句或间接疑问句中,应使用陈述句语序,即“疑问词 + 主语 + 动词”,不能使用疑问句语序“what do you...”。因此应改为“what you really like”。同时,“spend time”后面通常搭配介词“on”,表示“把时间花在某事上”,所以应说“spend your time on”。
× You don't even know what do you really like or what do you want to spend your time for?
✓ You don't even know what you really like or what you want to spend your time on.
“spend time on something”是固定搭配,表示“在某事上花费时间”。这里不能使用“for”,应改为“on”。另外,间接疑问句应使用正常语序,因此应说“what you want to spend your time on”。
× And I think it's really useful and meaningful for both of us to
✓ And I think it's really useful and meaningful for everyone to try different things.
原句以不完整的“to”结尾,后面缺少动词原形,导致句子结构不完整。使用“it is + 形容词 + for someone + to do something”结构时,to后面必须接动词原形。因此可以补充“try different things”,使句子完整。
