Part 1
Examiner
Have you ever studied any history?
Candidate
Yes. When I was in junior high school, I studied a normal school and we have to study history as a subject. And when I went to the Senior High School, it's an international high school and I can choose a subject that I like. So from then on I'm stopped to study history.
Examiner
How do you learn history?
Candidate
I just learn history by textbook because I'm not very interested in history. But if people are interested in history I recommend them to watch some video on TikTok or write notes or some record program. They will know more about history.
Examiner
What are the benefits of learning history?
Candidate
Maybe we can study something on history such as some famous persons opening, such as some word that they say and will expect you. Maybe this thing.
Examiner
Do you think learning history is important?
Candidate
In fact, I think maybe it's important to know the culture, traditions in your country, but I'm not a fan of history. I think people should more focus on the current and future instead of the past.
Have you ever studied any history?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答基本能传达意思,但语法和用词不够自然、逻辑不够清晰。要点:1) 开头用主题句直接回应问题;2) 调整时态与表达,使句子更简洁;3) 用衔接词连接时间顺序;4) 注意主谓一致和代词用法。示例改进方向包括把“studied a normal school”更正为“attended a regular school”,把“I'm stopped to study history”改为“I stopped studying history”。
Example: Yes. I studied history at a regular (or mainstream) school during junior high, so it was a required subject. Later, I attended an international high school where I could choose my courses, so I stopped taking history then.
How do you learn history?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答内容清楚但表达杂乱且句子冗长。要点:1) 用一到两句先说明自己的方式;2) 使用连接词(e.g., however, instead)分隔个人习惯与建议;3) 提供更具体的学习方式细节(例如利用 documentaries, podcasts, museums);4) 修正不自然短语(如“write notes or some record program”)。
Example: I mainly learn history from textbooks because I’m not very interested in the subject. However, for people who want to learn more, I would recommend watching short educational videos or documentaries, taking concise notes, and listening to history podcasts or visiting museums.
What are the benefits of learning history?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: 回答含糊不清且缺乏具体细节、结构和逻辑。要点:1) 先给出明确观点(主题句),例如“Learning history helps us understand...”;2) 提供具体支持点(例如理解文化、避免重复错误、从榜样中学习);3) 使用连接词如“for example, furthermore”并举一两个具体例子;4) 避免重复和含糊表达。
Example: Learning history helps us understand our culture and the reasons behind current institutions. For example, studying past leaders and decisions can teach us what worked or failed, so we can make better choices today.
Do you think learning history is important?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 总体观点明确但表达可更自然、逻辑更连贯。要点:1) 开门见山给出立场;2) 用连接词比较两种观点(e.g., although... , however...);3) 提供一到两条支持理由并简短展开;4) 注意语法(如“people should more focus”改为“people should focus more”)。
Example: Although I’m not a big fan of history, I believe it’s important to understand our culture and traditions. However, I also think people should focus on the present and future, using lessons from the past to improve current decisions.
× Yes. When I was in junior high school, I studied a normal school and we have to study history as a subject. And when I went to the Senior High School, it's an international high school and I can choose a subject that I like. So from then on I'm stopped to study history.
✓ Yes. When I was in junior high school, I attended a normal school and we had to study history as a subject. And when I went to senior high school, it was an international high school and I could choose a subject that I liked. So from then on I stopped studying history.
句子中涉及过去发生的动作和状态,应该统一使用过去时。原句中混用了现在时(have, can, I'm stopped),应改为过去时(had, could, stopped)。此外,'study a normal school' 用法不当,应改为 'attend a normal school';'stopped to study' 语义错误,正确为 'stopped studying'。建议:回顾一般过去时的用法,叙述过去经历时将动词变为过去式,并注意动词搭配和动名词的使用。
× I just learn history by textbook because I'm not very interested in history.
✓ I just learn history from textbooks because I'm not very interested in history.
这里讲述的是一般习惯性事实,可用一般现在时 'learn',但介词和单复数要正确。原句 'by textbook' 不自然,应使用 'from textbooks'(从教材)且复数更符合泛指。建议:使用常见搭配 'learn from',并根据泛指名词使用复数形式。
× But if people are interested in history I recommend them to watch some video on TikTok or write notes or some record program.
✓ But if people are interested in history, I recommend that they watch some videos on TikTok or take notes or listen to some recorded programs.
推荐意见中使用动词结构需注意句型。'recommend them to watch' 不如 'recommend that they watch' 或 'recommend ... to watch';'some video' 与泛指不搭,改为复数 'some videos';'write notes' 更常用 'take notes';'some record program' 表达不自然,应为 'recorded programs' 或 'podcasts'。建议:学习 recommend 的常见用法、可数名词复数形式及固定短语 'take notes'。
× They will know more about history.
✓ They will learn more about history.
原句 'They will know more about history' 语义虽可接受,但与前文建议的动词搭配不太一致。更自然的表达是 'learn more about history'。此外,从语法上 'will' 表示将来,但上下文是一般推荐,使用 'will' 可以接受。建议:优先使用与上下文语义一致的动词搭配。
× Maybe we can study something on history such as some famous persons opening, such as some word that they say and will expect you. Maybe this thing.
✓ Maybe we can learn something about history, such as famous people's achievements or famous quotes and their meanings.
原句结构混乱,词汇搭配不当,难以理解。'study something on history' 应为 'learn something about history';'famous persons opening' 无意义,推测想表达 'famous people's achievements';'some word that they say and will expect you' 不通,应改为 'famous quotes and their meanings'。建议:理清想表达的内容,使用常见搭配(learn about、achievements、quotes),避免直译式错误。
× In fact, I think maybe it's important to know the culture, traditions in your country, but I'm not a fan of history.
✓ In fact, I think it's important to know the culture and traditions of your country, but I'm not a fan of history.
句子总体用现在时表达普遍观点正确,但名词短语连接和介词使用需要调整。'culture, traditions in your country' 应使用 'culture and traditions of your country',更自然且语法正确。建议:注意并列名词的连接词使用及介词搭配 'of your country'。
× I think people should more focus on the current and future instead of the past.
✓ I think people should focus more on the present and the future instead of the past.
'should more focus' 语序错误,正确为 'should focus more';'current' 用作形容词需搭配名词 'the present' 更自然;并列名词前置限定词 'the' 更合适。建议:注意情态动词后的动词位置,'focus more' 的正确语序,以及使用 'the present' 表示当下。
