Part 1
考官
Do you like singing? Why?
考生
I do like seeing as it's a good way for me to relax, but I sing terribly so I'm afraid singing in front of people. I just enjoy being a bathroom singer because the echo in the bathroom really makes you sound like a real pop *.
考官
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
考生
Well, I have taken music classes and sing classes from primary school to secondary school like everyone else, but I have never been trained professionally so it's more like a hobby. It's something I can enjoy without taking so seriously.
考官
Who do you want to sing for?
考生
Honestly I don't want to sing for anybody, I just want to sing for myself. Mainly because I'm an introverted person so I'm too shy to sing in front of others and also as what I mentioned, I think terribly. I'm really a tongue deaf so I just want to see when I stay with myself.
考官
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
考生
Yes, 100%. First, I think singing is powerful, it can bring energy to others and also I think it is something that built into us as humans so we can express our personal emotions like happiness and satisfaction to others by sounds.
考官
Do you like listening to others singing?
考生
Of course I do. I have various favorite singers from K pop to countryside music, and I also enjoy listening to my friends and family singing. For example, my dad is someone who sings all the time, which I love it.
考官
Have you ever taken a singing class?
考生
Well, I have taken a singing class in middle school, but I haven't been trained professionally because it was just a part of a music class in our courses.
Do you like singing? Why?
分数: 70.0建议: 你的回答内容有条理且自然,但存在发音错误(seeing→singing)、个别表达不够准确以及语句有些冗长。改进建议:1) 注意单词发音和拼写,确保关键单词正确(例如 singing);2) 开头直接回应问题(I like singing because...),然后用一至两句具体细节支持,避免重复;3) 使用衔接词让表达更连贯,如 because, so, for example。
示例: Yes, I enjoy singing because it helps me relax after a long day. However, I'm quite self-conscious about my voice, so I usually sing alone in the bathroom where the echo makes it sound better.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
分数: 80.0建议: 回答结构清晰,直接回应并补充背景。但存在语法小错误(sing classes→singing classes),部分表达可更简练具体。改进建议:1) 使用正确的词汇和时态(e.g. singing classes, never had professional training);2) 提供一两个具体细节说明学习内容或感受;3) 控制句子数量,不超过五句。
示例: I took singing and music lessons from primary to secondary school, but I never had professional training. It was mainly extracurricular and helped me learn basics like pitch and rhythm, so I treat singing as a hobby rather than a career.
Who do you want to sing for?
分数: 60.0建议: 答案表达了个人感受,但语法和用词问题较多(a tongue deaf→tone-deaf; I want to see when I stay with myself→unclear)。改进建议:1) 使用正确短语(tone-deaf, shy)并避免直译;2) 简洁陈述原因并给出具体情境例子;3) 保持逻辑衔接,如 because, so, therefore。
示例: I prefer to sing only for myself because I'm quite introverted and feel nervous performing in front of others. Besides, I'm rather tone-deaf, so I avoid public singing and usually practice alone at home.
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
分数: 75.0建议: 观点清晰且有力,但部分表达有语法问题和不自然的短语(built into us→built into human nature; express our personal emotions by sounds→express emotions through song)。改进建议:1) 用更自然的表达替换直译短语;2) 用一到两个具体例子或场景支撑观点;3) 句子间用连接词使论证连贯。
示例: Yes, definitely. Singing can lift people's spirits and create a sense of community—for example, people often sing together at celebrations or concerts, which makes everyone feel happier and more connected.
Do you like listening to others singing?
分数: 78.0建议: 内容丰富且有个人例子,但有些短语不自然(K pop→K-pop; countryside music→folk/country music; which I love it→which I love)。改进建议:1) 使用恰当词汇(K-pop, folk or country music);2) 修正语法错误并简化句子;3) 可以补充一两句说明为什么喜欢这些风格。
示例: Yes, I enjoy listening to others sing. My tastes range from K-pop to folk music, and I especially like hearing friends and family—my dad sings all the time, which I find very charming.
Have you ever taken a singing class?
分数: 82.0建议: 回答简洁且信息明确,但可改进语法表达与细节丰富度。改进建议:1) 用更自然的时态和短语(I took a singing class in middle school; it was part of the music curriculum);2) 可补充一两句说明课堂学到了什么或为什么没继续学。
示例: I took a singing class in middle school as part of the music curriculum, but it wasn't professional training. We learned basic vocals and breathing techniques, which was useful but I didn't pursue it further.
× I do like seeing as it's a good way for me to relax, but I sing terribly so I'm afraid singing in front of people.
✓ I do like singing as it's a good way for me to relax, but I sing terribly so I'm afraid of singing in front of people.
句中“seeing”应为动名词“singing”,因为想表达“喜欢唱歌”;另外短语“afraid singing”缺少介词“of”,正确结构为“afraid of doing sth.”。建议记住动名词用法和固定搭配“afraid of + 动名词/名词”。
× I just enjoy being a bathroom singer because the echo in the bathroom really makes you sound like a real pop *.
✓ I just enjoy being a bathroom singer because the echo in the bathroom really makes you sound like a real pop star.
原句末尾用“*”代替单词,应补全为“star”。这里涉及词汇缺失而非语法类型,但句子使用现在分词/动名词结构“being a bathroom singer”是正确的。建议注意完整表达并避免省略词语。
× Well, I have taken music classes and sing classes from primary school to secondary school like everyone else, but I have never been trained professionally so it's more like a hobby.
✓ Well, I have taken music classes and singing classes from primary school to secondary school like everyone else, but I have never been trained professionally so it's more like a hobby.
“sing classes”应使用动名词或名词形式“singing classes”或“singing lessons”。“sing”作动词不能直接修饰“classes”。建议将动词转换为名词形式或使用名词词组。
× It's something I can enjoy without taking so seriously.
✓ It's something I can enjoy without taking it so seriously.
原句中缺少宾语代词“it”。短语“take something seriously”需要宾语,否定结构“without taking it so seriously”才完整通顺。建议在类似结构中补足代词宾语。
× Honestly I don't want to sing for anybody, I just want to sing for myself.
✓ Honestly, I don't want to sing for anybody; I just want to sing for myself.
句子本身语法正确,但加上逗号或分号更符合书面表达。此处不属于严重语法错误,仅为标点改进建议。
× Mainly because I'm an introverted person so I'm too shy to sing in front of others and also as what I mentioned, I think terribly.
✓ Mainly because I'm an introverted person, so I'm too shy to sing in front of others and, as I mentioned, I sing terribly.
原句中“as what I mentioned”是错误的从句,应为“as I mentioned”或“as I mentioned before”;另外“I think terribly”意义不明,应为“I sing terribly”。建议使用正确的从句结构并表达清晰的谓语动词。
× I'm really a tongue deaf so I just want to see when I stay with myself.
✓ I'm actually tone-deaf, so I just want to sing when I'm by myself.
“a tongue deaf”是错误搭配,正确表达为“tone-deaf”(音盲/听不准音);“see when I stay with myself”不符合英语习惯,应为“sing when I'm by myself”或“sing when I'm alone”。建议学习常见形容词短语和表示独处的固定表达。
× First, I think singing is powerful, it can bring energy to others and also I think it is something that built into us as humans so we can express our personal emotions like happiness and satisfaction to others by sounds.
✓ First, I think singing is powerful; it can bring energy to others, and I also think it is something that is built into us as humans so we can express our personal emotions like happiness and satisfaction to others through sound.
问题包括缺少“is”构成被动“is built into us”,以及“by sounds”不习惯,改为“through sound”更自然。建议注意被动语态的构成(be + past participle)以及介词搭配。
× Of course I do. I have various favorite singers from K pop to countryside music, and I also enjoy listening to my friends and family singing.
✓ Of course I do. I have various favorite singers from K-pop to countryside music, and I also enjoy listening to my friends and family sing.
“friends and family singing”可接受但更地道的是“listening to my friends and family sing”——在“listen to”后可接动词原形表示动作。建议熟悉“listen to sb do sth”的结构。
× For example, my dad is someone who sings all the time, which I love it.
✓ For example, my dad is someone who sings all the time, which I love.
关联代词“which”引导的非限定性定语从句已指代整个前句,句尾不应再加“it”。“which I love”足矣。建议避免冗余代词。
× Well, I have taken a singing class in middle school, but I haven't been trained professionally because it was just a part of a music class in our courses.
✓ Well, I took a singing class in middle school, but I wasn't trained professionally because it was just part of a music course.
在叙述过去经历时使用一般过去时(took)比现在完成时更自然;“haven't been trained professionally”与具体过去时间冲突,应改为过去时“wasn't trained”;“a part of a music class in our courses”表述冗长,改为“part of a music course”更简洁。建议根据时间状语选择正确时态,并精简名词短语。
