Examiner
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidate
On one hand, people should try as many different things as they can when they are young, because when you are young you should try new things to explore your experience so you can decide which one is your favorite and concentrate.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: 你没有真正回答“小时候是否有机会参加新活动”,而是连续询问问题,导致回答不完整,也出现了重复和自我纠正。应先直接回答“Yes, I did”或“No, I didn’t”,然后具体说明参加过的活动、时间和感受。注意使用正确表达,如“after-school activities”,而不是“after were after schools activities”。建议控制在2至4句,并用“for example”连接具体细节。
Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I took part in several new activities, such as swimming and drawing classes. For example, I started swimming when I was eight, and I really enjoyed learning new skills.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 你的观点明确,也给出了原因,但只讨论了支持的一面;“explore your experience”搭配不自然,应改为“gain experience”或“discover their interests”。句子过长,并重复使用“when you are young”和“try new things”,影响自然度。可以用“Firstly”或“This is because”分开观点和原因,并加入一个具体例子;另外,若使用“On the one hand”,通常需要补充“On the other hand”的相反观点,或者直接省略该短语。
Example: Yes, I think people should try a wide range of activities, especially when they are young. This allows them to gain experience and discover what they are really interested in. For example, a teenager might try swimming, music, and volunteering before deciding which activity to focus on.
× You mean like uh sports or after were after schools activities?
✓ Do you mean sports or after-school activities?
这是一个疑问句,但原句缺少助动词“do”,并且“after were after schools activities”结构混乱。询问“你是指……吗?”时,应使用“Do you mean...?”。“after-school”作前置定语时通常加连字符,且“school”使用单数形式。
× On one hand, people should try as many different things as they can when they are young, because when you are young you should try new things to explore your experience so you can decide which one is your favorite and concentrate.
✓ On the one hand, people should try as many different things as they can when they are young because, when you are young, you should try new things to explore your experience, so you can decide which one is your favorite and concentrate on it.
固定表达是“on the one hand”,其中通常需要使用定冠词“the”。另外,“concentrate”在这里表示“专注于某个活动”,后面需要搭配介词“on”,所以应说“concentrate on it”。
