Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答结构清晰,也提供了具体例子,但有一些语法和搭配问题:应说“on my phone”,而不是“on social media or my phone”;“pop ups”应写作“pop-ups”;“I found them annoying”在描述通常情况时应改为“I find them annoying”;“when I browsing”应改为“when I am browsing”。可以使用“especially”进一步说明广告为什么令人烦恼。
Example: Yes, I do. I often see pop-up advertisements for local services and restaurants on social media and my phone. I find them annoying, especially when they interrupt me while I am browsing my apps.
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: 这段回答的主要问题是表达不自然、句子连接不清楚,并且有明显的词汇和语法错误。“Yes, there is”后需要停顿或连接词;“vicious”不符合语境,可以使用“visually impressive”或“visually stunning”;“in its background”比“it’s background”正确;“which never made a strong impression”意思不清,应改为“so it made a strong impression on me”。建议按照“广告是什么—有什么特点—为什么印象深刻”的顺序回答。
Example: Yes. When I was a child, I saw a commercial for the Canton Tower. It showed the tower lit up at night, with emotional background music. The combination of the beautiful scenery and the music made a strong impression on me.
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Score: 86.0Suggestion: 回答直接,结构完整,并且使用了地点和结果细节,整体自然。可以将“electric screens”改为更常见的“digital screens”,并在“Yes, I do”后加逗号。为了使表达更连贯,可以使用“such as”引出广告形式,并用“therefore”或“so”说明它们很难被忽略。
Example: Yes, I do. I see a lot of advertisements on the subway, such as posters and digital screens. They are usually placed above the seats and near the doors, so they are difficult to miss.
Do you like advertisements?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答观点明确,但“petitful”和“semois”不是合适或清晰的英语表达。你可以用“annoying”“repetitive”或“unpleasant”描述广告,并把“watch ... over and over again”改为“see the same advertisements repeatedly”。建议补充广告如何影响你的观看体验,例如打断节目或浪费时间。
Example: No, I don’t. I find many advertisements boring and repetitive, especially when the same ones are shown again and again. They often interrupt the programmes I am watching and waste my time.
What kind of advertising do you like?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答有清晰的观点和理由,但第二句存在明显的词汇和语法问题。“advertising above antismoking”应改为“anti-smoking advertisements”或“advertisements about the dangers of smoking”;“discouraged people smoking”应改为“discourage people from smoking”。可以具体说明这类广告如何帮助人们意识到健康风险。
Example: I prefer public service advertisements because they are educational and meaningful. For example, anti-smoking campaigns show the health risks of smoking and discourage people from taking up the habit. I think they can have a positive influence on society.
Have you ever bought something because of an advertisement?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答直接,并且给出了购买原因,但需要改进冠词、复数和词汇搭配:“seeing advertisement”应为“seeing an advertisement”;“a long tire lasting battery”应为“a long-lasting battery”。可以补充广告中的信息如何影响你的决定,例如它展示了手机的拍照效果,令你相信产品适合日常使用。
Example: Yes, I have. I bought a smartphone after seeing an advertisement that highlighted its powerful camera and long-lasting battery. The advertisement showed the quality of the photos, so I thought the phone would be useful for taking pictures every day.
× I found them annoying because they interrupt me when I browsing my apps.
✓ I find them annoying because they interrupt me when I am browsing my apps.
在“when I am browsing”中,进行时需要使用“be动词 + 动词-ing”结构。不能直接说“when I browsing”。另外,这里描述经常发生的情况,应使用一般现在时“find”,而不是过去式“found”。
× I found them annoying because they interrupt me when I browsing my apps.
✓ I find them annoying because they interrupt me when I am browsing my apps.
这句话描述的是经常性的感受和习惯,应使用一般现在时“find”。“found”是过去式,和前面的“I often see”时态不一致。
× Yes there is I saw a commercial video for Guangzhou Tower.
✓ Yes, there is. I saw a commercial video for Guangzhou Tower.
原句把两个完整句子直接连接在一起,缺少句号或连接词。回答“Is there...?”时,应先说“Yes, there is.”,然后另起一句说明具体内容。
× It's vicious amazing and stunning and it's background, the music was emotional, which never made a strong impression.
✓ It was visually amazing and stunning, and its background music was emotional, which made a strong impression.
“vicious”表示“恶毒的、凶猛的”,不符合语境。这里需要使用副词“visually”,表示“在视觉上”。此外,描述童年时看到的广告,使用过去时“was”更合适。
× It's vicious amazing and stunning and it's background, the music was emotional, which never made a strong impression.
✓ It was visually amazing and stunning, and its background music was emotional, which made a strong impression.
“it's”是“it is”或“it has”的缩写;表示“它的”时应使用物主代词“its”,不能使用带撇号的“it's”。
× It's vicious amazing and stunning and it's background, the music was emotional, which never made a strong impression.
✓ It was visually amazing and stunning, and its background music was emotional, which made a strong impression.
问题询问的是童年时的经历,因此描述当时的塔和音乐应使用过去时“was”。同时,“made a strong impression”符合前文“made an impression on you”的语境。
× I noticed a lot of advertising on the subway including electric screens and posters.
✓ I notice a lot of advertising on the subway, including electronic screens and posters.
问题询问是否经常看到广告,回答的是现在的习惯,应使用一般现在时“notice”,而不是过去式“noticed”。
× They are often placed above the seats and near the doors, so it is harder to miss.
✓ They are often placed above the seats and near the doors, so they are harder to miss.
前文的主语是复数“advertisements”,因此后面应使用复数代词“They”。使用单数“it”会造成代词与指代对象不一致。
× No, I don't because I find them boring and petitful.
✓ No, I don't because I find them boring and pointless.
“petitful”不是正确或自然的英语形容词。根据语境,这里可以使用“pointless”,表示“没有意义的、无聊的”。
× For example, I often watch the semois advertisements on TV over and over again.
✓ For example, I often watch the same advertisements on TV over and over again.
“semois”不是正确的英语单词。这里应使用“same”,表示“相同的”,即反复观看同样的广告。
× For instance, advertising above antismoking, discouraged people smoking.
✓ For instance, advertisements about antismoking discourage people from smoking.
表示“关于某个主题”应使用介词“about”,不能使用“above”。表示“阻止某人做某事”时,固定搭配是“discourage somebody from doing something”。
× For instance, advertising above antismoking, discouraged people smoking.
✓ For instance, advertisements about antismoking discourage people from smoking.
这句话描述公共服务广告通常产生的作用,应使用一般现在时“discourage”。“discouraged”是过去式,与一般性事实的语境不一致。
× For instance, advertising above antismoking, discouraged people smoking.
✓ For instance, advertisements about antismoking discourage people from smoking.
“discourage”后面应使用固定结构“discourage somebody from doing something”,所以“smoking”前需要加介词“from”。
× I bought a smartphone after seeing advertisement because it highlighted a powerful camera and a long tire lasting battery.
✓ I bought a smartphone after seeing an advertisement because it highlighted a powerful camera and a long-lasting battery.
“advertisement”是可数名词单数,前面必须有冠词。因为“advertisement”以元音音素开头,所以使用“an advertisement”,而不是直接说“seeing advertisement”。
× I bought a smartphone after seeing advertisement because it highlighted a powerful camera and a long tire lasting battery.
✓ I bought a smartphone after seeing an advertisement because it highlighted a powerful camera and a long-lasting battery.
“tire lasting”不是正确的形容词表达。表示“持久的”应使用复合形容词“long-lasting”,并用连字符连接。
