Part 1
Examiner
What languages can you speak?
Candidate
Uh, actually I can speak a couple of languages. First, I can speak Chinese, which is my mother tongue. Second, I can speak English, which is my second foreign language. Last, I can say a few words of Japanese.
Examiner
Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Candidate
Yes, I do. I think it's difficult to learn a new language because you have to get rid of the influence that is imposed by your native tongue.
Examiner
Will you learn other languages in the future?
Candidate
Yes, I will. Learning different languages is one of my hobbies. I love learning different languages because there are windows for me to know a wider world.
Examiner
Why do you learn English?
Candidate
Well, I first learned English because it was a compulsory subject in school. When I was in primary and secondary school, English was a compulsory subject. I had to learn it. After that, I learn English because I love it.
What languages can you speak?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答整体清晰,但存在冗余表达和部分不自然用词。建议:1) 开头避免犹豫语(如Uh, actually),直接回应;2) 用更自然的分类词(e.g. "my native language", "a second language"),并简洁列举;3) 用连词连接,使句子更流畅,例如“and”或“also”;4) 控制在最多5句内,避免重复信息。可以练习用一句话概括然后补充一个简短细节。
Example: I can speak Chinese, which is my native language, and English as a second language. I also know a little Japanese, mostly basic greetings and phrases.
Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答直接但表达不够自然且有些抽象。建议:1) 用更自然的表达替换"get rid of the influence"(例如 "overcome interference from your native language");2) 补充具体原因或例子(发音、语法或习惯用法)以增加细节;3) 使用连接词如“for example”或“because”来衔接观点与例子。
Example: Yes, I think it can be difficult because your native language often interferes with pronunciation and grammar. For example, I sometimes pronounce English sounds using Chinese intonation, which takes practice to fix.
Will you learn other languages in the future?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答态度积极,但语言稍显笨拙和重复。建议:1) 避免重复短语(如两次说"learning different languages"),用代词或替换词;2) 更自然地表达“窗口”概念(如 "a way to broaden my horizons");3) 提供具体计划或例子(想学哪种语言、如何学习)以丰富内容。
Example: Yes, I plan to. Learning languages is a hobby of mine and a great way to broaden my horizons. For example, next year I want to study Spanish by taking online classes.
Why do you learn English?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: 答案信息完整但有明显重复且时态与措辞稍有问题。建议:1) 合并重复句子,直接说明过去和现在的动机;2) 修正时态和表达("I learned" 而非 "I learn");3) 给出具体原因说明为何喜欢(例如旅行、工作或看电影)以增加深度;4) 使用连接词如“initially” 和 “now” 来清晰区分时间段。
Example: Initially I learned English because it was a compulsory subject at school. Now I continue studying it because I enjoy reading English books and watching films in the original language.
× Second, I can speak English, which is my second foreign language.
✓ Second, I can speak English, which is my second language.
原句中 “second foreign language” 在語義上不夠自然。若中文為“第二語言”可直接說“my second language”。此處非嚴格文法錯誤,但表達可更地道。建議用“my second language” 或若強調“外語”可說“my second foreign language” 但需確認語境。
× Last, I can say a few words of Japanese.
✓ Lastly, I can say a few words in Japanese.
英文慣用介詞為 “in Japanese” 表示用某種語言表達,而不是“of Japanese”。此外“Last” 作列舉最後一項時常用“Lastly”。建議多用固定搭配“say a few words in + language”。(語法類型:11 介詞使用)
× I think it's difficult to learn a new language because you have to get rid of the influence that is imposed by your native tongue.
✓ I think it's difficult to learn a new language because you have to overcome the influence imposed by your native tongue.
原句中 “get rid of the influence that is imposed by your native tongue” 雖能被理解,但用法冗長且不夠自然。常用動詞短語是“overcome the influence” 更簡潔自然。此處非時態錯誤但屬措辭與句式改進,建議使用更地道的搭配。
× Yes, I will. Learning different languages is one of my hobbies.
✓ Yes, I will. Learning different languages is one of my hobbies.
此句本身語法正確,無需修改。保持原句。
× I love learning different languages because there are windows for me to know a wider world.
✓ I love learning different languages because they open windows for me to see a wider world.
原句使用“there are windows for me to know a wider world” 不符合英語慣用表達。應避免直譯“know a world”,改為“see a wider world” 或“open windows for me to a wider world”。此外主語“they”(指 languages)與動詞搭配更自然。建議使用慣用短語“open windows” 並搭配不定詞或動詞短語。
× Well, I first learned English because it was a compulsory subject in school. When I was in primary and secondary school, English was a compulsory subject. I had to learn it. After that, I learn English because I love it.
✓ Well, I first learned English because it was a compulsory subject in school. When I was in primary and secondary school, English was a compulsory subject. I had to learn it. After that, I learned English because I love it.
最後一句原文“After that, I learn English because I love it.” 時態與上下文不一致。描述過去經歷應使用過去式“learned”。建議保持時態一致,若想表達從那時起持續學習可用現在完成或現在式結合上下文,如“I have continued learning English because I love it.”(語法類型:5 過去式問題,6 現在時問題)
