What did you like to do with paper as a child?
考生
When I was a kid, I used to create different paper flowers. I enjoyed creating different types and colors of flowers, especially for school activities. It helped me to show my creativity. And the marks I got and the grades I got for those activities is a plus point.
考官
Do you still write physical letters?
考生
No, not really. I no longer write physical letters because nowadays we often use emails, but I believe if it's something occasional or if we want some emotional feeling inside our letter, the best way would be a physical letter.
考官
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
考生
Ah, I believe so, because nowadays it's very rare, so people usually write handwritten letters if it's something meaningful and important for this. So I believe people like collecting those handwritten letters as a memory.
考官
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
考生
Yes, I often carry a pen or a pencil with papers whenever I go somewhere, especially when I go to work, I often carry those things with me because no one knows when we will need a paper. I find it really helpful in many occasions.
Have you made any crafts with paper?
分数: 82.0建议: Your answer is direct and well-developed, with a clear contrast between the past and present. However, “spend my time in a usable way” is unnatural; say “spend my time productively” instead. Also, use “my interests have shifted” because “interests” is plural, and connect the final ideas more naturally with “However.”
示例: Yes, but not recently. When I was a child, I used to make paper crafts such as origami and paper flowers, which helped me relax and spend my time productively. However, I have less free time now, and my interests have shifted to other activities.
What did you like to do with paper as a child?
分数: 78.0建议: You answer the question clearly and provide relevant details about school activities and creativity. Avoid repeating “creating” and “different,” and replace “the marks I got and the grades I got” with the more natural “the good grades I received.” The final sentence should use the past tense and a clearer link, such as “Moreover, receiving good grades made the activity even more enjoyable.”
示例: As a child, I particularly liked making paper flowers. I enjoyed experimenting with different shapes and colors, especially for school projects, because it allowed me to express my creativity. Moreover, receiving good grades for those activities made me feel proud and encouraged me to keep making them.
Do you still write physical letters?
分数: 84.0建议: This is a clear and relevant response with a useful comparison between emails and physical letters. The phrase “if it’s something occasional” should be “if it’s for a special occasion,” and “emotional feeling inside our letter” is unnatural. Use “to make the message feel more personal.” Also, “a physical letter would be the best option” is more natural than “the best way would be.”
示例: No, not really. I usually send emails because they are faster and more convenient. However, for a special occasion, such as a birthday or a thank-you message, I think a physical letter would be better because it feels more personal and thoughtful.
Do people still keep handwritten letters today?
分数: 76.0建议: You express a relevant opinion and give a reason, but the answer contains repetition of “I believe” and “so.” The phrase “important for this” is unclear; say “important to them” or “meaningful to them.” Instead of “as a memory,” use “as keepsakes” or “to preserve the memories associated with them.”
示例: Yes, I think people still keep handwritten letters, although they are quite rare nowadays. People tend to save them when they are meaningful, such as letters from family members or close friends. They keep them as personal keepsakes and reminders of special moments.
Do you carry paper and pens with you when you go out?
分数: 80.0建议: Your answer is direct and includes a practical reason, but “with papers” and “when we will need a paper” are unnatural; use “a small notebook” and “when I might need to write something down.” Avoid repeating “I often carry” and replace “in many occasions” with “on many occasions.”
示例: Yes, I usually carry a pen and a small notebook, especially when I go to work. I might need to write down a phone number, a reminder, or some quick notes during the day. Although I use my phone for many things, writing by hand is still convenient on some occasions.
× But now I don't have much time and also my interest have shifted.
✓ But now I don't have much time, and my interest has shifted as well.
The subject interest is singular, so it must be followed by the singular verb has, not have. You can also use as well to avoid repeating also at the beginning of the clause.
× And the marks I got and the grades I got for those activities is a plus point.
✓ The marks and grades I got for those activities were a plus point.
The compound subject marks and grades is plural, so it requires the plural verb were, not is. Also, combining the two repeated phrases makes the sentence more concise.
× People usually write handwritten letters if it's something meaningful and important for this.
✓ People usually write handwritten letters if they are meaningful and important to them.
The pronoun this does not clearly refer to anything in the sentence. Use they to refer to the letters and them to refer to the people. The preposition to is also used with important when expressing importance to a person.
× I often carry a pen or a pencil with papers whenever I go somewhere.
✓ I often carry a pen or a pencil with some paper whenever I go somewhere.
Paper is normally an uncountable noun when referring to writing material in general, so some paper is more appropriate than papers in this context. Use papers only when referring to several separate documents or sheets.
× No one knows when we will need a paper.
✓ No one knows when we will need paper.
Paper is uncountable when it means writing material, so it does not normally take the article a. The future form will need is correct here because the sentence refers to a possible future need.
× I find it really helpful in many occasions.
✓ I find it really helpful on many occasions.
The standard preposition used with occasions is on, not in. The phrase on many occasions means many times or in many situations.
