× I actually bought an expensive Apple Watch last year, but after I wear it for half an year I just didn't touch it anymore.
✓ I actually bought an expensive Apple Watch last year, but after I wore it for half a year I just didn't touch it anymore.
句中描述已发生的过去动作,主句用过去时(bought, didn't touch),从句也应使用过去式 wore 而不是现在时 wear。另:英文中通常说 "half a year",不说 "half an year"(因为 year 以辅音音素开头,冠词用 "a")。建议:保持时态一致,使用过去时并改正冠词为 "half a year"。
× Have you ever got a watch as a gift?
✓ Have you ever gotten a watch as a gift? (US) / Have you ever got a watch as a gift? (BrE)
使用现在完成时询问经历时,动词过去分词形式应与地区变体一致。美式英语过去分词用 gotten(Have you ever gotten...),英式英语常用 got(Have you ever got...)。根据考官语境任选其一以保持一致。建议:选择与考试所要求的英语变体一致的过去分词形式。
× Yes, I remember it was when I was a primary school student and at that time we didn't have this electronic ones and my father bought me one for my birthday and I was so happy.
✓ Yes, I remember. It was when I was a primary school student, and at that time we didn't have these electronic ones, and my father bought me one for my birthday. I was so happy.
原句存在代词数不一致和句子连接混乱问题:"this electronic ones" 中 this(单数指示代词)与 ones(复数)冲突,应改为 these electronic ones。句子过长建议断句为两到三句以增强清晰度。建议:修正指示代词与名词数的一致性,并使用标点分隔独立分句。
× For those who bought luxury watches, maybe they think umm, these are symbols of their status. For those who buy less expensive but not cheap watches like those electrical ones, maybe they think those.
✓ For those who bought luxury watches, maybe they think these are symbols of their status. For those who buy less expensive but not cheap watches, like those electronic ones, maybe they think the same.
原句问题包括代词指代不明和词汇选择错误:第一句中 "these" 比 "these are" 更自然,但保留原意用 "these are symbols...";第二句结尾用 "those" 单独出现,指代不清,应改为 "the same" 来表示“也是这么想”。此外 "electrical ones" 用词不当,描述电子手表应为 "electronic ones"。建议:使用明确的指代短语(the same)并用正确形容词 electronic。
× I don't think it's important to wear a watch because nowadays you can get the timetable everywhere, umm, exactly on your mobile phone. And it's no, it's not necessary to buy buy a watch.
✓ I don't think it's important to wear a watch because nowadays you can get the time everywhere, exactly on your mobile phone. And it's not necessary to buy a watch.
原句中 "get the timetable" 用词不准确,应为表示时间的 "get the time" 或 "check the time";重复 "buy buy" 为口误需去掉多余词。整体时态(现在时)是正确的,但用词需修正以符合习惯表达。建议:用 "check the time" 或 "get the time",并删除重复词以使表达更自然。
