朋友— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer the question directly and complete the comparison. Correct “at the post” to “in the past,” avoid repeating “I,” and finish the final idea. Use a linking word such as “whereas” to contrast your past and present situations.

範例: Yes, definitely. In the past, I usually met my friends at school or university, whereas nowadays I often meet them at playdates because I’m a mother. We usually choose places where our children can play safely while we catch up.

建議: Give a clearer topic sentence and use natural collocations. Correct “children needs” to “children’s needs,” “a specific attention” to “special attention,” and “more convenient in a place” to “feel comfortable in a place.” Explain that safety, space, and noise affect suitability.

範例: Some places are more suitable because they are safe, spacious, and child-friendly. For example, a park or a family café gives children room to play without disturbing other people. In contrast, a crowded or noisy restaurant may be stressful for both children and parents.

建議: Your preference is clear, but avoid repetition and the incomplete phrase “I like to surround.” State the reason once and develop it with a specific detail, such as having deeper conversations or feeling more relaxed. Use “a few close friends” rather than “some honest friends” if you mean a small number of trusted people.

範例: I prefer spending time with one close friend because I enjoy having deeper and more personal conversations. I feel more relaxed in a small setting, and it is easier to talk honestly about our lives. Although I sometimes enjoy group activities, I usually prefer quality time with a few trusted friends.

建議: Use the correct preposition “at my home” or “in my home,” and avoid repeating “eat food.” Organize the answer with a clear reason followed by one or two examples of activities. “Have friends over” is a natural expression for inviting friends to your home.

範例: Definitely. I enjoy having friends over because I like cooking for people and creating a relaxed atmosphere. We might prepare a meal together, watch a movie, and chat for a few hours. It is usually more comfortable than going to a busy restaurant.

建議: This is a clear and relevant response with good vocabulary, especially “lift me up” and “a source of support and joy.” Improve fluency by removing the repeated phrase “in very” and by separating the list into smoother sentences. Add one specific example of how a friend supports you.

範例: Friends are extremely important to me because they support me emotionally and make my life happier. I can count on them when I’m feeling down or facing a difficult decision. For example, a close friend recently helped me manage my responsibilities as a mother, which meant a lot to me.

建議: The main idea is understandable, but use the natural expression “not as often as I used to” and avoid repeating “to.” Complete the answer instead of ending with “So.” Explain how you manage to meet despite having less free time.

範例: No, not as often as I used to. Since having my daughter, it has been challenging to find free time and coordinate our schedules. However, we still meet occasionally, usually at a café or a park when our children can play together.

建議: The answer is relevant and includes reasons, but correct “keeping catch up” to “catching up” and “each other lives” to “each other’s lives.” Avoid using both “meet each other” and “each other” unnecessarily. Add a specific reason why cafés or restaurants are suitable.

範例: We usually meet at cafés or restaurants. We enjoy having coffee or a meal while catching up on each other’s lives. These places are convenient because we can sit comfortably, talk quietly, and spend a couple of hours together.

建議: Use natural phrases such as “take short walks in nearby parks” and “go shopping together.” Avoid repeating “together” and replace the vague phrase “practice in various activities” with a specific activity. Link the ideas smoothly instead of beginning several sentences with “Also” and “And.”

範例: We usually take short walks in nearby parks and sometimes go shopping together. We also enjoy exercising, such as attending a fitness class or going for a light run. These activities help us stay healthy while spending quality time together.

建議: You provide a clear answer and personal details, but correct “I known her” to “I have known her” and keep the verb tenses consistent. Say “my friend, Lemis,” rather than “my dearest friend called Lemis.” Replace the repeated “helps” and “brings” ideas with one specific example of her support.

範例: Yes, I have a close friend called Lemis, whom I have known since primary school. We have stayed close because we understand each other very well and enjoy talking about our lives. She always supports me when I’m having a difficult time, so I really value our friendship.

× Nowadays, after being a mother, I I am meeting them at play dates and.

✓ Nowadays, after becoming a mother, I meet them at playdates.

The sentence contains a repeated subject pronoun, I I, and ends with the incomplete conjunction and. The sentence should be completed and simplified. The simple present, I meet, is suitable for describing a current routine.

× I think that because of the children needs, the children need a specific attention.

✓ I think this is because of the children's needs; children need specific attention.

Children is a plural noun, so its possessive form is children's. The apostrophe indicates that the needs belong to the children.

× The children need a specific attention.

✓ Children need specific attention.

Attention is normally an uncountable noun in this meaning, so it does not take the indefinite article a. Specific attention is the correct noun phrase.

× So it depends on the children and how they can be more convenient in a place.

✓ So it depends on the children and on which places are most convenient for them.

Convenient describes a place, not the children. The revised sentence uses convenient to describe places and for them to show who benefits from the convenience.

× I like the warm conversation that I have that I would have with my dearest friend.

✓ I like the warm conversations I have with my dearest friend.

The original sentence repeats the relative clause and incorrectly combines have with would have. A single relative clause, or no relative pronoun here, creates a clear grammatical structure.

× Actually, I like to surround.

✓ Actually, I like to surround myself with a few close friends.

Surround normally requires an object. The reflexive pronoun myself is needed because the speaker is surrounding herself with other people.

× I like having parties on my home.

✓ I like having parties at my home.

The preposition at is used for a location such as a person's home. On is not the appropriate preposition in this expression.

× Not quite often as I used to do, because after having my daughter it's been quite challenging to have some free time.

✓ Not as often as I used to, because since having my daughter, it has been quite challenging to find free time.

The standard comparative pattern is not as often as. The phrase used to already indicates the previous habit, so do is unnecessary. Since is also suitable for describing a period continuing from the past until now.

× Usually we meet each other at cafes or restaurants to have a cup of coffee or a delicious meal while chatting and keeping catch up with each other lives.

✓ Usually, we meet at cafés or restaurants to have a cup of coffee or a delicious meal while chatting and catching up with each other's lives.

After while, the verbs should use parallel -ing forms: chatting and catching. The expression is catch up with, so its -ing form is catching up.

× Keeping catch up with each other lives.

✓ Catching up with each other's lives.

Each other needs the possessive form each other's when it modifies the noun lives. This shows that the lives belong to both people.

× I usually take small walks on nearby parks or gardens.

✓ I usually take short walks in nearby parks or gardens.

The preposition in is used when someone walks inside a park or garden. On is not the appropriate preposition for this location.

× Also we do shop together.

✓ We also go shopping together.

The expression go shopping is used for this activity. Do shop is not the correct verb combination in this context. Also is placed before the main verb or at the beginning of the sentence.

× I known her since primary school.

✓ I have known her since primary school.

The phrase since primary school describes an action that began in the past and continues to the present. The present perfect form have known is required; known cannot be used alone as the main verb here.

× She helps me in various ways and lifted me up and brings joy to my life.

✓ She helps me in various ways, lifts me up, and brings joy to my life.

The sentence describes her regular or continuing qualities, so the verbs should all be in the simple present. The past-tense verb lifted should be changed to the present-tense form lifts to maintain parallel structure.
