Do you like shopping?
Candidato
No, I don't like shopping, but I shop when I need to purchase some things. I always buy what I really need to buy.
Examinador
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Candidato
Yes, I do. Comparing prices when I shop is a necessary step because I want to spend my money wisely and you know, sometimes different shops have different prices for the same products, so it's a must step.
Examinador
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Candidato
No, it's not difficult for me personally. I have had the habit of making a shopping list before going shopping, so I always know what I am going to buy, so it's very kind of easy for me.
Examinador
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Candidato
Yes, I think so. Generally speaking, I believe that expensive products are always better than cheaper products because they always have better quality and the better after sales service.
Do you like shopping?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: 回答较直接且自然,但有重复("buy"/"purchase"/"buy")且句子略长,可用一到两句更简洁表达并加入少量细节以显得更具体。建议删去冗余词,使用连接词并给出具体例子或频率(例如每月一次)来丰富内容。
Ejemplo: Not really — I only shop when I need something. For example, I usually go shopping once a month to buy groceries or essentials, so I try to stick to a short list.
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: 答案原因明确但有口语填充词("you know"、"must step")和重复表达("necessary"/"must")。建议用更自然的连接词(because, so, therefore)并给出具体做法或例子(例如使用比价网站或查看促销),控制在两到三句内。
Ejemplo: Yes, I always compare prices because I want to save money. For instance, I check prices online and in two local stores before buying electronics or household items.
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: 回答结构良好但句子有些重复(两个"so"短语)且口语化表达("very kind of easy")不够地道。建议用一到两句来说明习惯,并补充具体细节(例如如何列单:按优先级或按店铺)。使用清晰的连接词避免冗余。
Ejemplo: Not at all — I always make a shopping list before I go, which helps me prioritize items. I usually group things by store section so I can shop quickly and avoid impulse buys.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: 立场明确但过于绝对("always"多次),且缺乏平衡视角和具体例子。建议避免绝对化词汇,提供更为细致的理由并举例说明何种情况下贵的更好、何时便宜的也可接受。这样可以显得更成熟和有逻辑。
Ejemplo: Not necessarily. Often pricier items offer higher quality and better after‑sales service — for example, premium laptops tend to last longer — but sometimes cheaper brands are perfectly adequate for everyday use, like basic kitchen utensils.
× Comparing prices when I shop is a necessary step because I want to spend my money wisely and you know, sometimes different shops have different prices for the same products, so it's a must step.
✓ Comparing prices when I shop is a necessary step because I want to spend my money wisely. You know, sometimes different shops have different prices for the same products, so it's a must.
该句存在冗长且衔接不自然的问题,属于动名词短语(Verb + -ing)用法场景下的句子连接与表达问题(列入第8类)。原句中使用多个并列分句和重复结构("so it's a must step" 与前文重复表达),使句子臃肿且不地道。建议把句子拆成两句,删除多余的名词"step"(在口语中常用短语"it's a must"),并用句号或连接词分隔,增强清晰度。
× I have had the habit of making a shopping list before going shopping, so I always know what I am going to buy, so it's very kind of easy for me.
✓ I have had the habit of making a shopping list before going shopping, so I always know what I am going to buy, and it's very easy for me.
该句主要问题在于时态与句子连接处的表达(第6类:现在时态问题)。"I have had the habit" 可以接受,但后面用"so it's very kind of easy" 是不地道的表达,"kind of" 弱化语气且与"very"冲突,且英文中通常用"very easy"或"quite easy"。建议去掉"kind of"并用连接词"and"替代重复的"so"以保持流畅。
× Generally speaking, I believe that expensive products are always better than cheaper products because they always have better quality and the better after sales service.
✓ Generally speaking, I believe that expensive products are usually better than cheaper products because they generally have better quality and better after-sales service.
该句涉及量词/频率副词和形容词搭配问题(第14类)。原句用"always"过于绝对且与事实不符,应改为"usually"或"generally"。此外,"the better after sales service" 结构不正确,缺少连字符并多余定冠词,应为"better after-sales service"或"better after-sales services"。建议使用更温和的频率副词并修正名词短语的形式。
