Part 1
Examiner
Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Candidate
Absolutely, I often see small ads on my phone when I'm watching videos on TikTok. They're quite annoying and interrupt my viewing so sometimes I use an ad blocker or pay for more ad free version to avoid them.
Examiner
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
Candidate
When there was a child, I remember a KFC commercial that left a strong impression on me. The ad showed golden crispy chicken and happy family eating together with cheerful music in the background, which made my mouth water and stick in my mind ever since.
Examiner
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Candidate
Absolutely yes. I often see advertisements when I travel by train. They are usually for food and shopping, for example Fossil food exchange and online stores so they catch my attention during the journey.
Examiner
Do you like advertisements?
Candidate
I think it depends on what the advertisement is about. If I add it for a charity and inspire people to donate 2 extremely poor communities I find it meaningful and worth watching. But if the ad is just noisy I I don't like it.
Examiner
What kind of advertising do you like?
Candidate
As mommy, I prefer educational advertisements. When I was child, I often see them on TV and they left a strong impression on me because they told me to be independent and persistent, which I think is very meaningful for my future life.
Examiner
Have you ever bought something because of an advertisement?
Candidate
I remember the most memorable thing I bought because of an advertisement was a colorful toy car. At first my mom didn't want to buy it, but I cried until she agreed because the world made the toy look very exciting and fun in the end. I play with it every day.
Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答切题,并且有明确观点、原因和解决办法,内容比较完整。需要改进语法和表达:将“more ad free version”改为“an ad-free version”,并在“viewing”后加逗号或使用“because”连接原因。还可以补充一个具体例子,让答案更自然。
Example: Yes, I often see advertisements on my phone, especially when I watch videos on TikTok. They can be quite annoying because they interrupt what I am watching. Therefore, I sometimes use an ad blocker or pay for an ad-free version of the app.
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: 答案有具体广告、画面和感受,细节丰富,符合题目要求。主要问题是语法:将“When there was a child”改为“When I was a child”,“happy family”改为“a happy family”,“made my mouth water and stick in my mind”改为“made my mouth water and has stuck in my mind”。注意时态和冠词的准确使用。
Example: Yes. When I was a child, I remember a KFC commercial that left a strong impression on me. It showed golden, crispy chicken and a happy family eating together, with cheerful music in the background. It made my mouth water and has stayed in my memory ever since.
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答结构清楚,也提供了广告类型和出现的场景。但“Absolutely yes”不够自然,可以改为“Yes, definitely”;“Fossil food exchange”表达不清,可能想说“fast-food chains”或“food delivery services”。应使用“such as”列举,并用“because”或“so”连接句子。
Example: Yes, definitely. I often see advertisements when I travel by train, especially inside the carriages and at the stations. They are usually for fast-food chains, shopping platforms, or online stores, so they often catch my attention during the journey.
Do you like advertisements?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 使用了“it depends”来表达观点,思路是合理的,但有较多语法和用词问题。“If I add it”应改为“If it is an advertisement for a charity”,“donate 2 extremely poor communities”应改为“donate to extremely poor communities”。最后一句应改为“But if an advertisement is simply noisy and repetitive, I do not like it.”
Example: It depends on the type of advertisement. If it is for a charity and encourages people to donate to poor communities, I find it meaningful and worth watching. However, I dislike advertisements that are noisy, repetitive, or irrelevant to me.
What kind of advertising do you like?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 答案有明确偏好,也解释了喜欢教育类广告的原因。不过“As mommy”不符合语境,应改为“As for me”;“When I was child”应为“When I was a child”;“often see”应改为过去时“often saw”。“told me to be independent”可以改为“encouraged me to be independent”,表达更自然。
Example: As for me, I prefer educational advertisements. When I was a child, I often saw them on TV, and they left a strong impression on me. They encouraged me to be independent and persistent, which I found meaningful and useful in my life.
Have you ever bought something because of an advertisement?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: 回答有具体物品、购买过程和结果,内容符合题目,也有个人故事。但“the most memorable thing I bought”后面的结构较笨重,可以直接说“It was a colorful toy car”;“the world made the toy look”应为“the advertisement made the toy look”;故事发生在过去,最后应使用“I played with it every day”。
Example: Yes, I once bought a colorful toy car because of an advertisement. At first, my mother did not want to buy it, but I kept asking until she agreed. The advertisement made the toy look exciting and fun, so I played with it almost every day.
× They're quite annoying and interrupt my viewing so sometimes I use an ad blocker or pay for more ad free version to avoid them.
✓ They're quite annoying and interrupt my viewing, so sometimes I use an ad blocker or pay for an ad-free version to avoid them.
可数名词单数“version”前需要使用冠词。这里表示“一个无广告的版本”,所以应使用“an”。“ad-free”作前置定语时通常需要加连字符。
× When there was a child, I remember a KFC commercial that left a strong impression on me.
✓ When I was a child, I remember a KFC commercial that left a strong impression on me.
这里表达“当我还是个孩子时”,主语应该是“I”,不能使用“There was”。“There was”用于表示某处存在某人或某物,而不是表示某人的年龄或身份。
× The ad showed golden crispy chicken and happy family eating together with cheerful music in the background, which made my mouth water and stick in my mind ever since.
✓ The ad showed golden, crispy chicken and a happy family eating together with cheerful music in the background, which made my mouth water and has stuck in my mind ever since.
“family”在这里是可数名词单数,前面需要使用不定冠词“a”,所以应为“a happy family”。
× The ad showed golden crispy chicken and happy family eating together with cheerful music in the background, which made my mouth water and stick in my mind ever since.
✓ The ad showed golden, crispy chicken and a happy family eating together with cheerful music in the background, which made my mouth water and has stuck in my mind ever since.
“ever since”表示从过去某个时间一直持续到现在的状态,因此应使用现在完成时“has stuck”,而不是动词原形“stick”。同时,前面的“made”表示过去产生的影响,使用过去时是正确的。
× If I add it for a charity and inspire people to donate 2 extremely poor communities I find it meaningful and worth watching.
✓ If an ad is for a charity and inspires people to donate to extremely poor communities, I find it meaningful and worth watching.
原句的主语和谓语结构不清楚。“add”不能表达“广告是关于慈善的”,这里应使用“an ad is for a charity”。条件从句结束后需要使用逗号,以便清楚地区分条件和主句。
× If I add it for a charity and inspire people to donate 2 extremely poor communities I find it meaningful and worth watching.
✓ If an ad is for a charity and inspires people to donate to extremely poor communities, I find it meaningful and worth watching.
条件从句的主语是单数名词“an ad”,所以并列谓语也应使用第三人称单数形式“inspires”,不能使用“inspire”。
× If I add it for a charity and inspire people to donate 2 extremely poor communities I find it meaningful and worth watching.
✓ If an ad is for a charity and inspires people to donate to extremely poor communities, I find it meaningful and worth watching.
动词“donate”表示“向某人或某地捐赠”时,通常与介词“to”搭配,因此应说“donate to extremely poor communities”。
× But if the ad is just noisy I I don't like it.
✓ But if the ad is just noisy, I don't like it.
主语“I”被重复使用了一次,英语中不能写成“I I”。条件从句“if the ad is just noisy”后应加逗号,再接主句“I don't like it”。
× As mommy, I prefer educational advertisements.
✓ As a mommy, I prefer educational advertisements.
“mommy”是可数名词单数,表示“作为一位妈妈”时,前面需要使用不定冠词“a”。
× When I was child, I often see them on TV and they left a strong impression on me because they told me to be independent and persistent, which I think is very meaningful for my future life.
✓ When I was a child, I often see them on TV and they left a strong impression on me because they told me to be independent and persistent, which I think is very meaningful for my future life.
固定表达是“When I was a child”。“child”是可数名词单数,前面必须加不定冠词“a”。
× When I was child, I often see them on TV and they left a strong impression on me because they told me to be independent and persistent, which I think is very meaningful for my future life.
✓ When I was a child, I often saw them on TV and they left a strong impression on me because they told me to be independent and persistent, which I think is very meaningful for my future life.
句子讲述的是童年时期的经历,时间背景是过去,所以“see”应改为过去式“saw”。当句子中有“When I was...”这类明确的过去时间背景时,相关的动作通常也要使用过去时。
