Part 1

Examiner

Where is your hometown?

Candidate

I come from Whole Hut, the capital city of Inner Mongolia. This is a region inhabited by ethnic minorities and combines the traditional nomadic lifestyle with a modern urban life, so you can see both grasslands and tall buildings. I like it because I grew up enjoying nature and modern conveniences at the same time.

Examiner

What do you like about your home town?

Candidate

I really like the diversity of my hometown because it combines the traditional nomadic lifestyle with modern urban life. For example, you can enjoy vast grasslands and traditional festivals in the countryside while also having access to modern conveniences like shopping centers and public transport in city. This unique combination make it both beautiful and convenient to live in.

Examiner

How long have you lived there?

Candidate

I've been in Beijing for about two years now, since I started university, and before that I spent my whole life in my hometown in Inner Mongolian. It's been quite an adjustment going from a quiet place to such a bustling city.

Examiner

Is your home town a good place for young people?

Candidate

I don't think it is a good place for young people because the access to certain educational and career opportunities was more limited, which is actually the primary reason I liked for university. Maybe some metropolis like Beijing is a better choice for young people.

Part 1

Where is your hometown?

Score: 86.0

Suggestion: 内容具体且自然,但可改进的地方有:1) 开头可更简洁直接(一句主题句),避免第一句过长;2) 第二句信息较多,可用连接词分两句以提高流畅性;3) 注意少量语法/词汇使用(例如 Whole Hut 可能是地名拼写需确认,‘inhabited by ethnic minorities’ 可更自然表达)。建议用不超过五句、清晰的主题句加一到两句具体支持点。

Example: I’m from Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia. It’s a place where traditional nomadic culture meets modern city life. For example, you can visit vast grasslands and watch traditional festivals, and in the city there are shopping centers and modern transport.

What do you like about your home town?

Score: 84.0

Suggestion: 回答具备主题句并提供了具体例子,但存在语法和表达细节可以改进:1) 注意主谓一致(make → makes);2) 避免重复信息(与前一问内容高度重叠),可以补充新的角度(如人文、食物、气候、社交活动);3) 链接词可更自然(e.g. moreover, additionally)。建议保持不超过五句并加入一两个新细节。

Example: I like its cultural diversity and lifestyle mix. For instance, people there celebrate traditional festivals on the grasslands, and in town you can easily find modern cafes and efficient public transport. This balance makes daily life both interesting and convenient.

How long have you lived there?

Score: 88.0

Suggestion: 回答简洁且直接,包含时间点和对变化的感受,表现自然。但可稍作润色:1) 地名/形容词形式一致(Inner Mongolian → Inner Mongolia 或 ‘Inner Mongolia’ region);2) 可用一两个连接词扩展原因或具体感受(e.g. because of traffic, noise);3) 保持句子数量不超过五句并注意语法小错误。

Example: I’ve been living in Beijing for about two years since I started university. Before that I spent my whole life in my hometown in Inner Mongolia. It’s been a big adjustment because Beijing is much busier and noisier than the quiet grasslands I grew up in.

Is your home town a good place for young people?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: 观点明确且有原因,但表达有语法和逻辑小问题:1) ‘liked for university’ 表达不清,应改为 ‘left for university’ 或 ‘I left to study at university’;2) 用更具体例子说明哪些机会有限(比如 universities, internships, cultural events)会更有说服力;3) 可用连接词如 ‘because’, ‘for example’ 来增强条理。建议控制在三到四句内并给出具体例子。

Example: I don’t think it’s ideal for young people because there are fewer universities and job opportunities nearby. For example, there are limited internship programs and fewer large companies, so many young people move to big cities like Beijing for study and work.

Grammar

18:Incorrect order of adjectives

× I come from Whole Hut, the capital city of Inner Mongolia.

I come from Whole Hut, the capital city of Inner Mongolia.

此句本身没有形容词排列错误。保留原句。

26

× This is a region inhabited by ethnic minorities and combines the traditional nomadic lifestyle with a modern urban life, so you can see both grasslands and tall buildings.

This is a region inhabited by ethnic minorities that combines the traditional nomadic lifestyle with modern urban life, so you can see both grasslands and tall buildings.

句子中原用“and”连接两个动词结构(inhabited by... and combines...),但主语与第一个部分是名词短语(This is a region inhabited by ethnic minorities),更自然的关系词应为that引导限制性定语从句来修饰region,从而避免句子结构混乱。建议使用关系代词“that”或重写为两个句子以使结构清晰。

13

× I like it because I grew up enjoying nature and modern conveniences at the same time.

I like it because I grew up enjoying nature and modern conveniences at the same time.

此句语法正确,时态与意思匹配,保留原句。

26

× I really like the diversity of my hometown because it combines the traditional nomadic lifestyle with modern urban life.

I really like the diversity of my hometown because it combines the traditional nomadic lifestyle with modern urban life.

此句语法正确,结构完整,保留原句。

11

× For example, you can enjoy vast grasslands and traditional festivals in the countryside while also having access to modern conveniences like shopping centers and public transport in city.

For example, you can enjoy vast grasslands and traditional festivals in the countryside while also having access to modern conveniences like shopping centers and public transport in the city.

错误在于介词短语中缺少定冠词“the”。在表示特定的“城市”时应使用定冠词“the city”。建议在“in city”前加“the”。

27

× This unique combination make it both beautiful and convenient to live in.

This unique combination makes it both beautiful and convenient to live in.

主语是单数名词短语“combination”,谓语动词应与之保持主谓一致,单数主语用单数动词形式“makes”。建议牢记主语单复数并相应变化动词。

× I've been in Beijing for about two years now, since I started university, and before that I spent my whole life in my hometown in Inner Mongolian.

I've been in Beijing for about two years now, since I started university, and before that I spent my whole life in my hometown in Inner Mongolia.

错误在地名用法。“Inner Mongolian”是形容词形式,不用来表示地区名称。正确的地区名为“Inner Mongolia”。建议使用固定地名“Inner Mongolia”。

26

× It's been quite an adjustment going from a quiet place to such a bustling city.

It's been quite an adjustment going from a quiet place to such a bustling city.

此句语法正确,时态与表达相符,保留原句。

26

× I don't think it is a good place for young people because the access to certain educational and career opportunities was more limited, which is actually the primary reason I liked for university.

I don't think it is a good place for young people because access to certain educational and career opportunities was more limited, which is actually the primary reason I chose to go to university in Beijing.

原句存在句子结构和词语搭配问题:1) “the access”前的定冠词可省,常用“access to”表示“获得……的机会”;2) “which is actually the primary reason I liked for university”结构不通,动词“liked”不符合语境,应表达“我选择上大学的主要原因”,故改为“the primary reason I chose to go to university in Beijing”以清晰表达因果和动词时态。建议用更合适的动词短语如“chose to go to university”并指明地点。

26

× Maybe some metropolis like Beijing is a better choice for young people.

Maybe a metropolis like Beijing is a better choice for young people.

此句中冠词使用错误。单数可数名词“metropolis”前需不定冠词“a”。原句中使用“some”不自然,且“some metropolis”不符合习惯搭配。建议使用“a metropolis like Beijing”。
