Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
Actually, no, I am not very good at memory things. For example, before exams I have to spend a lot of time to memory material because I find it difficult to remember quickly.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Sure, once I forgot my keys so I couldn't get into my house, which was really embarrassing and inconvenient. I had to call my roommate and wait outside for nearly an hour. So I learned to always put my keys in the same pocket.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
I enjoyed a lot things like dating with my close friends at school, assignments, deadline, and some daily items such as what I needed, what I needed to eat for lunch.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
I usually write important things down because it's straightforward and helps me remember them. For example, I keep a small note in my pocket and I also use my phone to set reminders to make A to do list so I won't forget.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: 回答要更自然、语法准确并且结构清晰。开头直接回应问题,然后用一两句具体细节支持,避免重复和错误用法(例如 memory things → memorising things / remember quickly → remember things quickly)。尽量将答案控制在最多五句内,使用连接词如 "so" 或 "because" 增强连贯性。
Example: Not really. I struggle with memorising information quickly, so before exams I often have to spend extra hours revising. For instance, I usually read my notes several times and use flashcards to help retain key facts.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答总体清楚且有具体细节,但可以稍微精简并用更自然的连接词。可以把情节和感受精炼为一到两句支持细节,最后一句总结学到的教训。注意时态和连贯表达。
Example: Yes. Once I forgot my keys and couldn’t get into my house, which was embarrassing and inconvenient. I had to call my roommate and wait outside for almost an hour, so now I always put my keys in the same pocket.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: 回答不够聚焦且有语法和词汇选择错误(例如 enjoyed → enjoy 或 need to remember;dating 与上下文不符)。建议先给出主题句,然后列出几项需要记住的具体内容,使用并列连词并注意单复数及词序。
Example: I need to remember several everyday things. For example, I have to keep track of assignment deadlines, appointments with friends, and daily tasks like what to buy or what to have for lunch.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答思路清晰且有具体方法,但有部分语言冗余和小错误(例如 'make A to do list')。建议简化表述,使用连接词(for example, also)使句子更流畅,并给出一两个具体例子说明如何使用这些工具。
Example: I usually write things down because it helps me remember. For example, I keep a small paper note in my pocket and I also use my phone to set reminders or create a to‑do list so I don’t forget important tasks.
× Actually, no, I am not very good at memory things.
✓ Actually, no, I am not very good at memorising things.
原句中使用了名词短语“memory things”,這是不自然的表達,且與上下文中的動詞“memorising”不一致。應使用動名詞“memorising”來表示“記憶事物/記東西”的能力。建議用動名詞或更自然的片語,如“good at remembering things”或“good at memorising things”。
× For example, before exams I have to spend a lot of time to memory material because I find it difficult to remember quickly.
✓ For example, before exams I have to spend a lot of time memorising material because I find it difficult to remember quickly.
原句中“to memory material”結構錯誤,動詞應使用動名詞形式“memorising”或使用不定式“to memorise”。此處更自然的搭配是“spend time + -ing”,所以要用“spend a lot of time memorising”。建議記住動詞“spend time”後接動名詞。
× Sure, once I forgot my keys so I couldn't get into my house, which was really embarrassing and inconvenient.
✓ Sure, once I forgot my keys so I couldn't get into my house; it was really embarrassing and inconvenient.
原句主要是時態和連詞使用問題。雖然過去時“forgot”和“couldn't”是正確的,但用“which was”作定語從句指代整個前句時句子較長且不夠清晰,改為分號或句號後直接描述結果更自然。此修正屬於句子結構與時態表達更清晰的調整(保留過去時)。建議在口語中使用短句連接過去事件及其感受。
× I had to call my roommate and wait outside for nearly an hour.
✓ I had to call my roommate and wait outside for nearly an hour.
該句無錯誤。‘an hour’與主語謂語一致,這裡確認為正確用法,無需修改。
× I enjoyed a lot things like dating with my close friends at school, assignments, deadline, and some daily items such as what I needed, what I needed to eat for lunch.
✓ I enjoyed a lot of things like going out with my close friends at school, doing assignments, meeting deadlines, and remembering daily things such as what I needed and what I should eat for lunch.
原句中存在若干問題:‘a lot things’ 缺少介詞,正確應為 ‘a lot of things’;‘dating with my close friends’ 在英式/美式口語中更自然表達為 ‘going out with’ 或 ‘spending time with’;‘assignments, deadline’ 應為複數名詞‘assignments, deadlines’;句子結構混亂,重複‘what I needed’ 可整合為更清晰的表達。建議注意量詞 ‘a lot of’ 與名詞複數形式的一致性,以及使用更自然的動詞搭配。
× I usually write important things down because it's straightforward and helps me remember them.
✓ I usually write important things down because it's straightforward and helps me remember them.
句子本身語法正確,使用了動名詞短語 'write ... down' 和不定式結構 'helps me remember',符合語法規則,無需修改。
× For example, I keep a small note in my pocket and I also use my phone to set reminders to make A to do list so I won't forget.
✓ For example, I keep a small note in my pocket and I also use my phone to set reminders to make a to-do list so I won't forget.
原句有幾個小錯誤:‘A’ 不應大寫且應為小寫‘a’,‘to do list’ 應使用連字符‘to-do list’ 或合寫形式;此外 'set reminders to make a to-do list' 的邏輯有些不清,可調整為 'set reminders or make a to-do list'。主要屬於標點與大小寫及詞形使用上的問題(介於介詞/搭配錯誤)。建議注意大小寫、連字符及固定搭配。
