Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at giving gifts?
Candidate
Yes, I think I am because whenever I send gifts to others, I will always consider their feelings and habits and I will choose gifts that best fit their preference.
Examiner
When do you usually give gifts to others?
Candidate
Well, usually I send gifts to others on some important events, for example my friend's birthdays, my parents wedding anniversary and also my classmates graduation. And I also send gifts on some traditional festivals like Mid Autumn festival, Spring festival etcetera.
Examiner
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
Candidate
Well, I usually consider the person's taste or to say his or her preference because I think that's the most important factor when it comes to gift sending. If you send something that he or she really dislikes, it will make he or she very disappointed and even cause something bad between your relationship.
Examiner
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
Candidate
Yes, I remember I sent a handmade photo album to my ex-boyfriend which contains a lot of photos and I just sticked all the photos onto the album and I also made some decorations on it.
Examiner
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
Candidate
Well, I don't think so. I think when it comes to gifts, what really matters is not their prices, but your blessings. I mean you have to show the person you are sending a gift to that you are really care about them and that's something that cannot be measured by money.
Are you good at giving gifts?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答总体清晰且直接,但句子较长且有重复(比如“consider their feelings and habits”与“fit their preference”意思重叠)。建议使用更自然的表达并简化句子结构,避免冗长。可以用一到两句概括并加一条简短的例子。
Example: Yes, I am. I always try to choose presents that suit the recipient’s tastes and daily habits. For example, I once bought a friend a travel mug because she often commutes and enjoys hot drinks on the go.
When do you usually give gifts to others?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答内容全面,列举了多种场合,但句子较冗长,部分名词需要复数或冠词(e.g. “my parents' wedding anniversary”、“the Mid-Autumn Festival”)。建议用一两句并用连接词使结构更紧凑。
Example: I usually give gifts on important occasions, such as friends’ birthdays, my parents’ wedding anniversary, and classmates’ graduations. I also exchange presents during traditional holidays, like the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival.
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 观点明确但表达有语法错误和重复(例如“person's taste or to say his or her preference”不自然;代词使用错误“make he or she”应为“make him or her”)。建议使用更自然的短句并举例说明考虑的具体方面(爱好、需要、生活方式)。
Example: I mainly consider the person’s tastes and needs. For instance, if someone enjoys cooking I might choose a nice kitchen gadget, whereas for a busy colleague I’d pick something practical like a portable charger to suit their lifestyle.
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答真实但有语法错误(例如“contains”时态不一致,应用 past tense; “sticked”错误,正确为 “stuck”)。句子可更简洁并补充为什么选择这个礼物或对方反应,增加细节。
Example: Yes. I made a photo album for my ex-boyfriend filled with pictures from our time together. I carefully stuck the photos in and added handwritten notes and small decorations, which made him very touched.
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 观点清楚但表达略口语化且有语法问题(如“you are really care about them”应为“you really care about them”)。建议用更正式的表达并给出简短理由或例子来支持观点。
Example: I don’t think so. To me, the thought behind a gift matters more than its price because a personal or thoughtful present shows you care. For example, a handwritten letter often means more than an expensive item.
× I will always consider their feelings and habits and I will choose gifts that best fit their preference.
✓ I always consider their feelings and habits and choose gifts that best fit their preferences.
句中使用 will 表示习惯性动作不合适,应使用一般现在时。将“will always consider ... and I will choose” 改为“I always consider ... and choose”。此外,“preference” 应为复数形式“preferences”,因为前文指代不同人的喜好。建议使用一般现在时描述习惯,并注意名词单复数。
× for example my friend's birthdays, my parents wedding anniversary and also my classmates graduation.
✓ for example my friend's birthday, my parents' wedding anniversary and also my classmates' graduation.
列举中各项应使用正确的单复数与所属格:朋友的生日通常为单数“friend's birthday”;“parents” 的所属格应为“parents' ”;“classmates graduation” 缺少所属格应为“classmates' graduation”。注意所有权用撇号并与名词单复数一致。
× And I also send gifts on some traditional festivals like Mid Autumn festival, Spring festival etcetera.
✓ And I also give/send gifts at some traditional festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival.
固定搭配是“at festivals”而非“on festivals”。节日名称前常需定冠词或连字符:the Mid-Autumn Festival;Spring Festival 作为专有名词可大写。建议使用“at”表示在节日期间。
× I usually consider the person's taste or to say his or her preference because I think that's the most important factor when it comes to gift sending.
✓ I usually consider the person's taste, or rather his or her preferences, because I think that's the most important factor when it comes to giving gifts.
原句“or to say” 不自然,应改为“or rather”。“preference” 应为复数“preferences”。动词短语“gift sending” 不常用,改为“giving gifts”。建议使用更自然的短语并注意名词复数。
× If you send something that he or she really dislikes, it will make he or she very disappointed and even cause something bad between your relationship.
✓ If you send something that he or she really dislikes, it will make him or her very disappointed and even cause problems in your relationship.
“make ... disappointed” 后面应接宾格代词“him or her”而不是主格“he or she”。“cause something bad between your relationship” 不自然,改为“cause problems in your relationship”。建议使用宾格代词并用更自然的表达方式。
× I remember I sent a handmade photo album to my ex-boyfriend which contains a lot of photos and I just sticked all the photos onto the album and I also made some decorations on it.
✓ I remember I sent a handmade photo album to my ex-boyfriend which contained a lot of photos, and I just stuck all the photos onto the album and also made some decorations on it.
与过去时间点连用时,定语从句动词应使用过去式或过去分词“contained”。“sticked” 是错误形式,正确过去式/过去分词为“stuck”。建议将相关动词改为正确的过去式或过去分词以保持时态一致。
× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings? -> Do expensive gifts express your feelings better?
副词位置错误。“better” 应放在动词之后修饰整个动词短语“express ... better”。建议将“better” 移到句末。
× I mean you have to show the person you are sending a gift to that you are really care about them and that's something that cannot be measured by money.
✓ I mean you have to show the person you are sending a gift to that you really care about them, and that's something that cannot be measured by money.
“you are really care about them” 语法错误,助动词“are”不应与动词“care”连用,正确形式为“you really care about them”。删除“are”。建议注意动词搭配,去掉多余的助动词。
