Part 1
Examiner
Do you work or are you a student?
Candidate
I am a college student in my senior year. After this summer break, I'll enter my final year and I plan to continue my studies by pursuing a master's degree to specialize in my field.
Examiner
Where do you study?
Candidate
I study in Beijing because it's my hometown and I don't want to be far away from my parents and families. Plus, studying here makes me feel more comfortable because I have already been familiar with this place.
Examiner
Is it a good place to study?
Candidate
Yes, it is because Beijing as the capital of China, owns excellent educational resources. There are many famous colleges in Beijing and also is my hometown, so I feel comfortable studying here.
Examiner
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Candidate
For Beijing there isn't, but for my college there is because my school doesn't provide students with many various activities, which makes me feel that I'm still in a high school instead of in a university. So I hope my school can make some changes.
Examiner
What are your future study plans?
Candidate
Umm, after graduation, I will definitely go on studies by pursuing postgraduate education and getting my master's degree. However, I'm still not clear with my dream schools.
Do you work or are you a student?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答内容清晰且较自然,但可以更简洁、有组织并加入连接词以提高流畅度;避免重复信息(如“senior year”与“final year”近似),并用一两句补充具体专业或研究方向以增加内容深度。
Example: I'm a senior majoring in environmental engineering. This summer I'll start my final year, and afterwards I plan to pursue a master's degree to specialize in water treatment technologies.
Where do you study?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答逻辑清楚,但有些冗长和重复(例如 “parents and families” 与“familiar with this place” 意思重叠);可以用一到两句说明具体便利或学习资源来增加细节,并用连接词改善衔接。
Example: I study in Beijing, which is my hometown, so I prefer to stay close to my family. Also, it's convenient for internships and I already know the city well, which makes campus life easier.
Is it a good place to study?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答直接但有语法和表达问题(如“owns”用法不当,句子有重复信息)。建议先给出简短直接的主题句,然后用一两条具体理由(比如顶尖师资、图书馆和实习机会)并用连接词衔接。
Example: Yes, it's a great place to study. For example, Beijing has top universities and abundant research facilities, and there are many internship opportunities with leading companies.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 观点明确但表达较啰嗦并有语法小问题(如“many various activities”),建议先给出简短答案,再列出一至两个具体建议(比如更多社团、讲座或实践项目),并用连接词如“for example”。
Example: Not for Beijing, but I would like my college to offer more extracurricular activities. For example, they could organize more student clubs and regular academic seminars to create a more mature university atmosphere.
What are your future study plans?
Score: 79.0Suggestion: 回答内容明确但口头语(“Umm”)和重复(“go on studies by pursuing postgraduate education”)影响流畅度。建议用一到两句明确计划并补充时间表或感兴趣的研究方向以增加具体性。
Example: After graduation I plan to start a master's program in data science within the next year. I haven't decided on specific universities yet, but I'm focusing on programs known for strong research in machine learning.
× I study in Beijing because it's my hometown and I don't want to be far away from my parents and families.
✓ I study in Beijing because it's my hometown and I don't want to be far away from my parents and family.
句中使用複數“families”不合適。當指父母與家庭成員時,應使用單數名詞“family”或分別說“my parents and my family”。建議使用“family”或重寫為“my parents and my family”。(注意:此處為名詞單複數問題,歸入現在時/名詞使用相關類型。)
× Plus, studying here makes me feel more comfortable because I have already been familiar with this place.
✓ Plus, studying here makes me feel more comfortable because I am already familiar with this place.
“have been familiar with” 用法不自然。英語通常用“be familiar with”來表示對某事已熟悉,現在完成進行式或完成式與“familiar”搭配不常用。改為“am already familiar with”更符合現在狀態表達。
× Yes, it is because Beijing as the capital of China, owns excellent educational resources.
✓ Yes, it is, because Beijing, as the capital of China, has excellent educational resources.
原句結構混亂,缺少必要的標點並且動詞“owns”在此語境不太自然,應用“has”。將“as the capital of China”用逗號包起來作插入語,並用“has”表達擁有資源更自然。
× There are many famous colleges in Beijing and also is my hometown, so I feel comfortable studying here.
✓ There are many famous colleges in Beijing, and it is also my hometown, so I feel comfortable studying here.
原句缺少主語“it”導致句子不完整。需在“and also is my hometown”前補主語,並用逗號分隔,修正後語義清晰。
× For Beijing there isn't, but for my college there is because my school doesn't provide students with many various activities, which makes me feel that I'm still in a high school instead of in a university.
✓ For Beijing there isn't, but for my college there is, because my school doesn't provide students with many different activities, which makes me feel that I'm still in high school instead of at university.
多處問題: 1) “many various activities”用詞冗餘且不自然,應用“many different activities”或“various activities”。 2) “in a high school”和“in a university”慣用搭配應為“in high school”與“at university”或“in a university”,此處更通順的是“in high school”與“at university”。 3) 同時在“for my college there is”後加逗號以分隔原因從句。
× Umm, after graduation, I will definitely go on studies by pursuing postgraduate education and getting my master's degree.
✓ Umm, after graduation, I will definitely continue my studies by pursuing postgraduate education and getting my master's degree.
“go on studies”是不地道的說法,慣用搭配為“continue my studies”。將“go on studies”改為“continue my studies”使語句更自然且符合未來計劃的表達。
× However, I'm still not clear with my dream schools.
✓ However, I'm still not sure about my dream schools.
“be clear with” 用法錯誤,應使用“be clear about”或更常用的“be sure about”。此處將其改為“not sure about”更符合口語表達。
