Should people try as many different things as they can?
Thí sinh
Well, I believe it depends on persons. Some people love variety and adventure while others prefer stability. It's hardly defined that the former is good or the latter is bad, and at different stage of life people may need to try less or more.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Điểm: 76.0Gợi ý: 回答直接回应了问题,也提供了具体活动和持续学习绘画的细节,内容较充实。但有一些不自然和不准确的表达,例如“the music and some sports lessons”应改为“music and sports classes”,“some after classes”应改为“after-school activities”,“through my Senior High School”应改为“throughout high school”。此外,第二句包含多个信息,建议使用“for example”和“also”等连接词,并将句子分开,使表达更清晰自然。
Ví dụ: Yes, I had several opportunities to try new activities because my parents were very supportive. For example, I joined my school’s volleyball club and took painting classes after school. I enjoyed painting so much that I continued with it throughout high school.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 81.0Gợi ý: 回答观点明确,能够进行对比,并提到人生不同阶段这一有价值的细节,逻辑也比较完整。不过“depends on persons”应改为“depends on the person”或“depends on the individual”,“It's hardly defined that...”表达不自然,可改为“Neither choice is necessarily better”。另外,“at different stage”应为“at different stages”。可以补充一个简短例子或结果,让观点更具体、更有说服力。
Ví dụ: I think it depends on the individual and their stage of life. Some people enjoy variety and adventure, while others feel more comfortable with stability. Neither choice is necessarily better, because trying new things can help people discover their interests, whereas focusing on one area can help them develop expertise.
× Yes, my parents encouraged me to join in many new activities such as the music and some sports lessons.
✓ Yes, my parents encouraged me to join in many new activities, such as music lessons and some sports lessons.
“music lessons”表示泛指的音乐课,不需要使用定冠词“the”。同时,列举活动时应保持结构平行,使用“music lessons”和“sports lessons”这样的名词短语。
× I took part in our school's volleyball club and some after classes like the painting classes I kept on painting through my Senior High School.
✓ I took part in our school's volleyball club and some after-school classes, such as painting classes. I kept on painting throughout senior high school.
“after classes”不能正确修饰“classes”。表示“课外的”时,应使用复合形容词“after-school”。另外,“throughout senior high school”比“through my Senior High School”更自然,表示“在整个高中阶段”。
× I took part in our school's volleyball club and some after classes like the painting classes I kept on painting through my Senior High School.
✓ I took part in our school's volleyball club and some after-school classes, such as painting classes. I kept on painting throughout senior high school.
这里的“painting classes”是泛指绘画课,不是特定的某些绘画课,因此不应使用定冠词“the”。泛指复数名词通常不需要冠词。
× I took part in our school's volleyball club and some after classes like the painting classes I kept on painting through my Senior High School.
✓ I took part in our school's volleyball club and some after-school classes, such as painting classes. I kept on painting throughout senior high school.
原句把两个完整意思直接连接在一起,导致句子结构不清晰。“I took part in...”和“I kept on painting...”应分成两个句子,或使用合适的连接词连接。建议在口语中避免把多个完整句子连续堆放。
× It's hardly defined that the former is good or the latter is bad, and at different stage of life people may need to try less or more.
✓ It is hard to say whether the former is good or the latter is bad, and at different stages of life, people may need to try fewer or more things.
“It's hardly defined that”不是自然的英语句型。表达“很难说……”时,应使用“It is hard to say whether...”。同时,“whether...or...”适合引出两种可能性,使句子结构更加清楚。
× It's hardly defined that the former is good or the latter is bad, and at different stage of life people may need to try less or more.
✓ It's hard to say whether the former is good or the latter is bad, and at different stages of life, people may need to try fewer or more things.
“different”后面通常接可数名词复数,因此应将“stage”改为“stages”。“different stages of life”表示“人生的不同阶段”。
