Part 1
考官
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
考生
Yes, I had plenty of opportunities to take part in when I was a child. My parents were and they enrolled me in after school classes such as paintings and choreography which helped me relax and be more creative.
考官
Should people try as many different things as they can?
考生
I think it depends. Some people like to try as many different things as they can because they like variety and the new experiences while others focus just a few things because they like stability so they can become really good at them.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
分数: 72.0建议: 回答方向正确,也提供了具体例子,但有几处明显的语法和搭配问题。第一句应说“take part in new activities”,不能只说“take part in”;“My parents were”句子不完整,需要明确表达父母的态度,例如“were very supportive”。“paintings”应改为“painting”,而“choreography”在这里不如“dance”自然。建议使用“First of all”或“Also”等连接词,并说明这些活动带来的具体影响。
示例: Yes, I had plenty of opportunities to try new activities when I was a child. My parents were very supportive, so they enrolled me in after-school classes such as painting and dance. These activities helped me relax, become more creative, and discover what I enjoyed doing.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
分数: 78.0建议: 回答有清晰的观点,也进行了正反两方面的比较,内容较完整。不过,“the new experiences”中的“the”应删去;“focus just a few things”应改为“focus on just a few things”。在两个观点之间加入“whereas”或“on the other hand”会更连贯。最后可以补充自己的看法,例如年轻人可以多尝试,而时间有限的人应专注于少数目标。
示例: I think it depends on a person’s situation and personality. Some people enjoy trying different activities because they value variety and new experiences, whereas others prefer to focus on a few things so they can develop real expertise. Personally, I think young people should experiment more, but they should eventually concentrate on what they are truly interested in.
× Yes, I had plenty of opportunities to take part in when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had plenty of opportunities to take part in new activities when I was a child.
短语“take part in”后面需要接具体的活动或事情。原句中的“take part in”后缺少宾语,因此句子结构不完整。建议记住:take part in + 活动/事情。
× My parents were and they enrolled me in after school classes such as paintings and choreography which helped me relax and be more creative.
✓ My parents were very supportive, and they enrolled me in after-school classes such as painting and choreography, which helped me relax and be more creative.
“My parents were”后面缺少补语,意思不完整。添加“very supportive”后,句子结构完整,表达也更自然。连接两个完整分句时,可以使用“and”并在前面加逗号。
× My parents were and they enrolled me in after school classes such as paintings and choreography which helped me relax and be more creative.
✓ My parents were very supportive, and they enrolled me in after-school classes such as painting and choreography, which helped me relax and be more creative.
这里的“painting”表示一种活动或课程名称,通常使用不可数形式,不应写成复数“paintings”。“Choreography”也可以表示一种活动或课程。
× Some people like to try as many different things as they can because they like variety and the new experiences while others focus just a few things because they like stability so they can become really good at them.
✓ Some people like to try as many different things as they can because they like variety and new experiences, while others focus on just a few things because they like stability and can become really good at them.
“New experiences”在这里表示一般性的、新的经历,不是特指某些已经提到的经历,所以不需要定冠词“the”。一般概念前通常不用“the”。
× Some people like to try as many different things as they can because they like variety and the new experiences while others focus just a few things because they like stability so they can become really good at them.
✓ Some people like to try as many different things as they can because they like variety and new experiences, while others focus on just a few things because they like stability and can become really good at them.
动词“focus”表示“集中注意力于某事”时,后面必须使用介词“on”,结构是“focus on something”。因此应说“focus on just a few things”,不能说“focus just a few things”。
