Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答需更自然且结构清晰。首先直接给出主题句,然后用一到两句具体、连贯的原因或例子支持。避免语法错误(如 tense 和不定式用法),减少冗余表达,并控制在最多五句内。可以把“buy some unnecessary goods I need in my daily life”改为更准确的表达。
Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping, especially online. It helps me relax after a busy day, and I can easily find everyday items and compare options. For example, I often buy toiletries and kitchen supplies online because it’s convenient and saves time.

Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答需更自然简洁,先给出主题句,然后用具体情况说明例外。修正语法和冗余(如“this choice”可简化为“decide”),并用连接词提高连贯性。可以提供解决方法以丰富内容。
Example: Generally, I don’t find shopping decisions difficult. However, when two products are very similar in quality and price, I struggle to decide. In such cases, I compare reviews or choose the brand I trust.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 回答方向正确,但句子需更地道、语法更准确。先直接回答,再给明确理由并用具体例子支持。修正不自然短语(如“just with fame”),可用“expensive items are sometimes overpriced due to brand reputation”等表达。
Example: No, I don’t think expensive products are always better. Often items are pricey because of the brand name rather than superior quality. For example, I once bought an expensive designer phone case that wore out faster than a cheaper, well-made one.
× Yes I do, I like shopping online and this can make me feel less stressful and to buy some unnecessary goods I need in my daily life.
✓ Yes, I do. I like shopping online because it can make me feel less stressed and help me buy some unnecessary goods I need in my daily life.
句子中出现了多种问题:1) “feel less stressful” 应为“feel less stressed”,因为“stressed”为形容词,描述感受;2) 原句中“and to buy”结构不并列,应改为动词短语并列或用“help me + 动词原形”;3) 建议用 because 连接原因从句更自然。改正后语法更准确、衔接更流畅。
× Yes, absolutely. This is because the same goods in different shops may have a great difference between their prices and I want to buy something have more, uh, if cost effective.
✓ Yes, absolutely. This is because the same goods in different shops may have great differences in price, and I want to buy something that is more cost-effective.
问题要点:1) “a great difference between their prices” 应改为“great differences in price” 更简洁自然;2) “have more, uh, if cost effective” 语法及表达混乱,应改为“that is more cost-effective” 用关系代词+系动词+形容词结构。总体上需明确比较对象并使用恰当的名词和形容词短语。
× I think it's not difficult for me to make choices when I shop, but sometimes if the goods are very close and their prices is also close, I don't know how to do this choice.
✓ I think it's not difficult for me to make choices when I shop, but sometimes when the goods are very similar and their prices are also close, I don't know how to make a choice.
错误说明:1) 原句中“the goods are very close” 用法不当,应改为“very similar”来表达“很相似”;2) “their prices is” 存在主谓不一致,应为“their prices are”;3) “how to do this choice” 不地道,应改为“how to make a choice”。需注意主谓一致和固定搭配的使用。
× No, I don't think expensive products always better than cheaper ones. This is because there are lots of expensive products just with fame and with low quality than we expected.
✓ No, I don't think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones. This is because there are many expensive products that are only famous but have lower quality than we expect.
问题点:1) 缺少系动词,原句“expensive products always better” 应为“are always better”;2) “lots of” 可用“many”更正式;3) “just with fame and with low quality than we expected” 结构混乱,应改为“that are only famous but have lower quality than we expect”。需注意系动词、从句引导词以及比较结构。
