Do you like looking at yourself in the mirror? How often?
分數: 68.0建議: Answer the question directly and use more natural expressions such as “look in the mirror” and “check my appearance.” Avoid repeating “mirror” and correct the grammatical errors in “when I’m into the mirror,” “my dress has to be perfect,” and “my hair has to go perfect.” Organize the details with a clear linking word, such as “especially,” and keep the response concise.
範例: Yes, I do. I usually look in the mirror before I go out to check my appearance. I make sure that my clothes are neat and that my hair looks tidy so that I feel presentable.
Have you ever bought mirrors?
分數: 70.0建議: Give a direct answer first, then explain that you bought the mirrors after moving into your new house. Use more natural vocabulary, such as “moved into,” “one in each room,” and “I like mirrors with attractive frames.” Avoid repeating “mirrors” and connect the ideas with linking words and appropriate punctuation.
範例: Yes, I have. I recently moved into a new house, so I bought four large mirrors, one for each room. I’m quite fond of them, especially those with elegant frames, because they make the rooms look brighter and more spacious.
Do you usually take a mirror with you?
分數: 64.0建議: The answer is relevant, but avoid repeating “looking” and use natural phrases such as “take a mirror with me” and “look in it.” Use “however” or “instead” to link the contrast between not carrying a mirror and checking your appearance when one is available. A brief reason would make the answer more complete.
範例: No, I don’t usually carry a mirror with me because I can often use the one on my phone. However, whenever I pass a large mirror, I sometimes take a quick look to check my appearance.
Would you use mirrors to decorate your room?
分數: 62.0建議: State your opinion clearly and explain how mirrors would improve the room. Replace the unclear phrase “which from which we make some window shape” with a specific description, such as “a mirror shaped like a window.” Correct “more large” to “larger” and avoid repeating “makes it look.” Use a linking word such as “because” to connect the reason and result.
範例: Yes, definitely. I would use a large, decorative mirror, perhaps one shaped like a window, because it would make the room look brighter. It could also create the impression of more space, which would be especially useful in a small room.
× Yes, I do like looking into the mirror.
✓ Yes, I do like looking in the mirror.
We normally say look in the mirror, not look into the mirror, when referring to checking our appearance. Look into usually means to investigate something or look inside something.
× I very often give myself a quick check just before I go out and when I'm into the mirror I look for any flaws or what like my dress has to be perfect, my hair has to go perfect and I should look presentable.
✓ I very often give myself a quick check just before I go out. When I look in the mirror, I look for any flaws and make sure that my dress is perfect, my hair looks perfect, and I look presentable.
The original sentence joins several incomplete and unclear clauses. Dividing it into two sentences and using make sure that creates a clear grammatical structure.
× When I'm into the mirror, I look for any flaws.
✓ When I look in the mirror, I look for any flaws.
Look in the mirror is the correct expression for checking your appearance. Into is not used in this expression.
× My hair has to go perfect.
✓ My hair has to look perfect.
Perfect is an adjective that describes the appearance of the hair, so look is the appropriate verb. Go perfect is not natural in this context.
× Recently I have shifted into my new house.
✓ Recently, I moved into my new house.
Move into is the natural expression for changing residence. Shift into is generally used for changing position, gear, or focus, rather than for moving to a new home.
× I've got four big mirrors each in one room.
✓ I've got four big mirrors, one in each room.
The phrase each in one room is awkward and does not clearly express the intended distribution. One in each room is the correct and concise structure.
× I have a taste for the borders and frame.
✓ I like the borders and frames.
Because the sentence refers to multiple mirrors and their multiple frames, the plural form frames is needed. The phrase have a taste for is also unnatural here; like is the appropriate verb for expressing preference.
× Wherever I can find myself a mirror, I do give a peek in.
✓ Whenever I can find a mirror, I take a quick look in it.
Take a look is the standard expression, not give a peek. The pronoun myself is unnecessary because find a mirror already expresses the intended meaning. The preposition in requires the object pronoun it in this sentence.
× Yes, I like decorative items which from which we make some window shape or something like similar.
✓ Yes, I like decorative items, such as mirrors, which create a window-like shape or a similar effect.
The original sentence contains the repeated and incorrect structure which from which and does not have a clear main clause. The corrected version uses which create to connect the relative clause clearly and removes the unnecessary phrase something like similar.
× It gives a very nice and bright look.
✓ They give the room a very nice and bright look.
The subject refers to plural decorative items, so the pronoun should be they and the verb should be give. It gives would be correct only if the subject were singular.
× It almost doubles the space and makes the room look even more large.
✓ They almost double the space and make the room look even larger.
The comparative form of large is larger, not more large. Because the subject is plural decorative items, double and make should also agree with they.
