Part 1
考官
Do you have a favorite teacher?
考生
Yes, my favorite teacher was my junior high math teacher because he was extremely patient and was always encouraging. He used a clear step by step examples to make complicated problems easy to understand and his handwriting was almost like printed text which made it easy to follow.
考官
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
考生
I worked as an English tutor for children, but I didn't really enjoy the job because I found myself repeating the explanations all the time. Also, sometimes the children couldn't understand me, which made teaching quite frustrating. So I have no plans to be a teacher in the future.
考官
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
考生
I clearly remember my high school English teacher. She was eventually dismissed from our class because some parents questioned her teaching ability. Although many blamed her, I felt the problem wasn't her fault because she always prepared interesting lessons and tried hard to help struggling students.
考官
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
考生
Not really. It's been about 15 years since I left primary school and although I know where my teacher lives, we haven't kept in touch. We are both quite busy and live in different cities so we lost contact over the years.
考官
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
考生
My head teacher from junior high paid my tuition when my family was struggling financially. Because of her help, I was able to continue my education, which made a big difference to my future and gave me more confidence to focus on my studies.
考官
Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?
考生
Yes, I prefer my primary school teachers because they lived in the same town and were very approachable so we could meet them after school and chat easily, whereas my high school teachers were more exam oriented and mainly focused on improving our grades.
Do you have a favorite teacher?
分數: 88.0建議: 回答整体清楚且具体,展示了原因和细节。但有两处可以改进:1)句子稍微过长,可用1–2个连接词分开以更自然;2)注意冠词和单复数(例如“step by step examples”前可加定冠词或改为复数形式更顺畅)。建议在第一句后用一两个连接词给出例子,使表达更连贯。
範例: Yes. My favorite teacher was my junior high math teacher because he was extremely patient and always encouraging. For example, he explained problems with clear, step-by-step examples, which made difficult concepts easier to understand.

× He used a clear step by step examples to make complicated problems easy to understand and his handwriting was almost like printed text which made it easy to follow.
✓ He used clear step-by-step examples to make complicated problems easy to understand, and his handwriting was almost like printed text, which made it easy to follow.
句子中“a clear step by step examples”存在冠词与复数不一致以及“step by step”作定语时需连字符的问题: 1) “a ... examples”中 a 与复数 nouns 不一致,應使用單數或去掉冠詞。此处應為複數“examples”,因此去掉不當的冠詞“a”。 2) 作複合形容詞修飾名詞時(step-by-step examples),英語習慣用連字符連接。 另外在長句中應在並列部分前加逗號,並在關係從句前加逗號以提高可讀性。建議改為“He used clear step-by-step examples ... , and his handwriting ... , which ...”。
× I worked as an English tutor for children, but I didn't really enjoy the job because I found myself repeating the explanations all the time.
✓ I worked as an English tutor for children, but I didn't really enjoy the job because I found myself repeating explanations all the time.
這裡“repeating the explanations”中定冠詞“the”不必要,會讓表達顯得指向特定解釋。一般情況下說“repeating explanations”更自然。這屬於時態句式中的搭配調整,保持過去時的一致性即可。建議刪去“the”。
× We are both quite busy and live in different cities so we lost contact over the years.
✓ We are both quite busy and live in different cities, so we have lost contact over the years.
原句中前半使用現在時態(are, live),但“lost contact over the years”用過去式與現在狀態不匹配。應使用現在完成時“have lost”表示從過去持續到現在的狀態變化,與“over the years”時間詞搭配更自然。建議用現在完成時保持時態一致性。
× She was eventually dismissed from our class because some parents questioned her teaching ability.
✓ She was eventually dismissed from our class because some parents questioned her teaching abilities.
原句“teaching ability”雖非嚴重錯誤,但在英語中談論教師的教學能力常用複數“teaching abilities”或不可數“teaching ability”。若想強調多方面能力,使用複數更自然;若強調總體能力,也可保留單數。此處按語感改為複數以更貼合語境。這屬於there/be 類中描述名詞形式的選擇。
× My head teacher from junior high paid my tuition when my family was struggling financially.
✓ My head teacher from junior high paid my tuition when my family was struggling financially.
此句語法正確,介詞使用無誤。“from junior high”表示來源或所屬學校階段是可接受的表達,無需修改。保留原句。
× Yes, I prefer my primary school teachers because they lived in the same town and were very approachable so we could meet them after school and chat easily, whereas my high school teachers were more exam oriented and mainly focused on improving our grades.
✓ Yes, I prefer my primary school teachers because they lived in the same town and were very approachable, so we could meet them after school and chat easily, whereas my high school teachers were more exam-oriented and mainly focused on improving our grades.
原句中代詞使用正確,但需要加上連字符“exam-oriented”以形成複合形容詞,並在“approachable”後加逗號以分隔從句,增強可讀性。代詞(they, them)使用恰當,故只對形容詞拼寫和標點作調整。
