Part 1
考官
Do you like science?
考生
Yes, I love science. For example, in high school I majored in science, especially physics and mathematics. I love them because they make you understand the natural worlds much better.
考官
When did you start to learn about science?
考生
I think I started learning about science in secondary school. My favorite subject used to be technology that we used to make some cool objects which can could be helpful in a normal life.
考官
Which science subject is interesting to you?
考生
I love physics, it is my favorite because you get to understand how for example plane fly, how a computer work and how our different things in life interact with each other.
考官
What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?
考生
Well, with science I have, for example been able to produce wine. When I was in high school, we got given a task to produce wine from avocados leaves. It was quite fascinating because we learned to use different components in order to get some chemical reaction to produce wine.
考官
Do you like watching science TV programs?
考生
Yes, I love watching, uh, science TV programs on national geography, for example. The channel used to have really great shows where you can learn. You can learn a lot of things about how things work.
考官
Do Chinese people often visit science museums?
考生
Yes, I think they do. And when I visited Shanghai in 2020, I noticed that museum were quite popular and you would often find kids and the parents visiting the museum and I found that quite fascinating.
Do you like science?
分数: 78.0建议: Be more concise and correct minor grammar errors (e.g., "natural world" singular). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid repeating "I love" too often.
示例: Yes, I do. I majored in physics and mathematics in high school, which I enjoyed because they helped me understand how the natural world works, such as the forces behind motion.
When did you start to learn about science?
分数: 65.0建议: Improve clarity and correct redundancy/grammar (remove "used to" repetition and "could" duplication). Give one concrete example of a project to make the answer more specific.
示例: I began learning science in secondary school. For example, in our technology class we built simple gadgets like a small motor-powered fan, which showed me practical uses of science in daily life.
Which science subject is interesting to you?
分数: 70.0建议: Use a clear topic sentence and correct grammar ("planes fly", "how computers work"). Use linking words and give a specific example of a physics concept to support your opinion.
示例: My favorite subject is physics because it explains real-world phenomena. For instance, studying aerodynamics taught me why planes fly and how lift is created by wing shape.
What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?
分数: 75.0建议: Be precise and concise; correct phrasing ("produce wine from avocado leaves" should be checked — perhaps "avocado leaves" singular/plural). Explain briefly the scientific principle involved (e.g., fermentation) to show understanding.
示例: I've done a fermentation project in high school where we produced a wine-like drink from avocado leaves. This taught me about fermentation reactions and how yeast converts sugars into alcohol.
Do you like watching science TV programs?
分数: 72.0建议: Remove fillers like "uh" and avoid repetition. Name a program or topic and give one specific thing you learned to make the answer more vivid and credible.
示例: Yes, I enjoy science documentaries on National Geographic. For example, a recent episode about animal migration explained the navigation strategies birds use over thousands of kilometers.
Do Chinese people often visit science museums?
分数: 74.0建议: Correct grammar ("museums were" plural) and be more specific: give a brief reason why museums are popular or a concrete observation from your visit to make the response more informative.
示例: Yes, many Chinese people visit science museums. When I visited Shanghai in 2020, the science museum was full of families; interactive exhibits and hands-on experiments clearly attract children and parents.
× I love them because they make you understand the natural worlds much better.
✓ I love them because they help you understand the natural world much better.
Incorrect use of plural 'worlds' and awkward verb 'make' with 'you' in present-tense general statement. Use 'help' + base verb for enabling actions, and use singular 'natural world' to refer to the overall concept. Suggestion: say 'help you understand the natural world'.
× My favorite subject used to be technology that we used to make some cool objects which can could be helpful in a normal life.
✓ My favorite subject used to be technology where we used to make some cool objects that could be helpful in everyday life.
Mixed modal and tense errors: 'can could' is incorrect (two modals), and 'in a normal life' is unnatural. Use past ability 'could' because speaker refers to past habit. Replace 'which' with 'that' or restructure; use 'everyday life' for natural phrasing.
× I love physics, it is my favorite because you get to understand how for example plane fly, how a computer work and how our different things in life interact with each other.
✓ I love physics; it is my favorite because you get to understand, for example, how planes fly, how a computer works, and how different things in our lives interact with each other.
Multiple present-tense agreement errors and word order: 'plane fly' should be plural 'planes fly' or singular with 'a plane flies'; 'a computer work' should be 'a computer works' (third person singular). Also punctuation and placement of 'for example' improved. 'Our different things in life' is awkward; use 'different things in our lives'.
× Well, with science I have, for example been able to produce wine.
✓ Well, for example, with science I have been able to produce wine.
Misplaced adverb 'for example' interrupted the present perfect construction. Move 'for example' so the auxiliary 'have' and past participle 'been' remain together. This preserves correct present perfect word order.
× When I was in high school, we got given a task to produce wine from avocados leaves.
✓ When I was in high school, we were given a task to produce wine from avocado leaves.
Passive form: 'got given' is informal; in formal speech use 'were given'. 'Avocados leaves' has wrong plural form; use 'avocado leaves' (compound noun where 'avocado' is attributive).
× It was quite fascinating because we learned to use different components in order to get some chemical reaction to produce wine.
✓ It was quite fascinating because we learned to use different components in order to cause a chemical reaction to produce wine.
Phrase 'get some chemical reaction' is informal and unclear. Use 'cause a chemical reaction' or 'produce a chemical reaction'. Also 'some' is unnecessary; 'a' is better here.
× Yes, I love watching, uh, science TV programs on national geography, for example.
✓ Yes, I love watching, uh, science TV programs on National Geographic, for example.
The channel name is 'National Geographic' (proper noun) and needs capitalization and correct wording. Preposition 'on' is fine; correct the proper noun.
× The channel used to have really great shows where you can learn.
✓ The channel used to have really great shows where you could learn.
Tense consistency: speaker refers to past habit 'used to have', so the modal 'can' should shift to past 'could'. Maintain consistent past reference.
× And when I visited Shanghai in 2020, I noticed that museum were quite popular and you would often find kids and the parents visiting the museum and I found that quite fascinating.
✓ And when I visited Shanghai in 2020, I noticed that museums were quite popular and you would often find kids and parents visiting them, which I found quite fascinating.
'Museum were' is wrong number agreement; use plural 'museums were'. 'The parents' is unnecessarily definite; 'parents' suffices. Replacing repeated 'the museum' with 'them' avoids repetition and improves flow. Use 'which I found' to connect the clause.
