Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
I would say it depends. I am good at memorizing the facts, the information in the book for exam. But I am not good at memorize the detail of things like my daily life, like what I ate yesterday or what my friends told me last week. I cannot remember this.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, once I forgot an important face to face meeting with my professor because I was overwhelmed with schoolwork that week and I hadn't set a reminder. I felt very sorry and I felt I was in trouble that time because that's really an important point appointment. So I sent an e-mail.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
In my daily life, since I'm a student, I always try to keep track of my To Do List because uh, I have many deadlines of assignments and I need to check my homework. I need to check meetings with professor and the appointments or plans with my friends so I don't forget anything.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
I usually set alarms or reminders on my phone and write some important tasks in my calendar so I can prioritize what needs to be done. I will review my schedule every night to double check upcoming deadlines, and for really urgent items I would use sticky note.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答总体合理,直接回应问题并给出区别(擅长记忆书本信息,不擅长记日常细节)。但存在语法和用词错误(如动词不一致:memorizing vs memorize),部分句子冗长且重复("I cannot remember this"与前句重复)。应使用主题句后用一两句具体支持,并用连接词使表达更连贯。建议简化句子,注意动词形式一致,删除多余重复,并加入具体例子来支持观点。
Example: I’m partly good at memorising things. For example, I can easily remember facts and information from textbooks for exams, but I often forget everyday details such as what I ate yesterday or conversations with friends. Therefore, my memory is stronger for structured study material than for casual daily events.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: 回答直接且包含具体情景,体现原因和后果。需改进语法与用词准确性("face to face"应为 "face-to-face" 或 "a face-to-face meeting";重复表达“felt very sorry”和“felt I was in trouble”可精简)。结尾可更清楚描述补救措施和结果。建议用一到两句补充结果或反思,连接词使叙述更流畅。
Example: Yes. Once I missed a face-to-face meeting with my professor because I was overwhelmed with schoolwork and hadn’t set a reminder. I felt really bad, so I emailed the professor to apologise and rescheduled the meeting, and I learned to use calendar alerts afterwards.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 答案涵盖要点但有停顿词("uh")和重复("I need to check"多次),句子较长且缺少结构性连接词。应先给主题句,然后用一两项具体例子支持,并使用连接词如 'for example' 或 'such as' 来组织信息。注意大小写(To Do List可写为 'to-do list')。
Example: As a student, I need to remember my deadlines and appointments. For example, I keep a to-do list for assignment due dates and note meetings with professors and plans with friends so I don’t miss anything.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 这是四个回答中最流畅和具体的,包含多种记忆方法和日常习惯。需注意时态一致性(mix of 'usually' with 'I will review' and 'I would use'—建议保持现在时)。可稍微合并句子以提高连贯性。添加一个具体例子会更好。
Example: I usually set alarms and reminders on my phone and enter important tasks in my calendar to prioritise them. I review my schedule every night to check upcoming deadlines, and for very urgent items I put sticky notes on my desk so I don’t overlook them.
× But I am not good at memorize the detail of things like my daily life, like what I ate yesterday or what my friends told me last week.
✓ But I am not good at memorizing the details of things from my daily life, like what I ate yesterday or what my friends told me last week.
句中使用短语 "good at" 后应接动词的 -ing 形式,故将 "memorize" 改为 "memorizing"。另外 "detail" 在此处需用复数形式 "details" 表示多项细节,并将 "of things like my daily life" 改为更自然的 "from my daily life"。建议记住固定搭配 "good at + verb-ing"。
× I would say it depends. I am good at memorizing the facts, the information in the book for exam.
✓ I would say it depends. I am good at memorizing the facts and the information in the book for exams.
原句中缺少冠词或复数形式不一致问题:"for exam" 应为习惯用法 "for exams"(或 "for an exam")更自然;此外用 "the facts, the information" 用逗号连接略显生硬,改为 "facts and the information" 更连贯。中文建议:注意可数名词单复数和固定搭配(例如 "for exams" 或 "for an exam")。
× Yes, once I forgot an important face to face meeting with my professor because I was overwhelmed with schoolwork that week and I hadn't set a reminder.
✓ Yes, once I forgot an important face-to-face meeting with my professor because I was overwhelmed with schoolwork that week and I hadn't set a reminder.
这里是复合形容词 "face-to-face" 应用连字符连接以构成正确的形容词形式。属于词形拼写/构词问题,虽不在列表明确,但归为过去分词形态相关项更合适。中文建议:复合形容词作名词前定语时使用连字符,例如 "face-to-face meeting"。
× I felt very sorry and I felt I was in trouble that time because that's really an important point appointment.
✓ I felt very sorry and I felt I was in trouble at that time because it was a really important appointment.
原句语序和用词不自然:"that time" 前需加介词 "at" → "at that time";"important point appointment" 是错误搭配,应简化为 "important appointment";代词指代改为过去时 "it was"。中文建议:注意时间短语前的介词(如 at that time),避免冗余成分并使用自然搭配(如 "important appointment")。
× In my daily life, since I'm a student, I always try to keep track of my To Do List because uh, I have many deadlines of assignments and I need to check my homework.
✓ In my daily life, since I'm a student, I always try to keep track of my to-do list because I have many assignment deadlines and I need to check my homework.
短语 "deadlines of assignments" 不自然,常用表达为 "assignment deadlines"(名 + 名结构)或 "deadlines for assignments"。另外 "To Do List" 统一为小写连字符形式 "to-do list" 更标准。中文建议:名词短语中优先使用名词 + 名词结构(如 "assignment deadlines"),并注意固定词形如 "to-do list"。
× I need to check meetings with professor and the appointments or plans with my friends so I don't forget anything.
✓ I need to check meetings with my professor and the appointments or plans with my friends so I don't forget anything.
缺少限定词 "my" 在 "meetings with professor" 前应为 "my professor" 或 "a professor",在英语中人称或职业前通常需要冠词或所有格。中文建议:注意在表示与某人有关的名词前使用所有格或冠词(如 "my professor")。
× I usually set alarms or reminders on my phone and write some important tasks in my calendar so I can prioritize what needs to be done.
✓ I usually set alarms or reminders on my phone and write important tasks in my calendar so I can prioritize what needs to be done.
去掉 "some" 更简洁自然;此处不是严重错误,但属于冠词/限定词使用问题的范畴。中文建议:在列举常规行为时可省略不必要的限定词以保持简洁。
× I will review my schedule every night to double check upcoming deadlines, and for really urgent items I would use sticky note.
✓ I review my schedule every night to double-check upcoming deadlines, and for really urgent items I use sticky notes.
时态和习惯表达:与前文习惯动作应使用一般现在时 "I review" 而不是 "I will review";"double check" 建议用连字符 "double-check";"would use" 改为一般现在时 "use" 以保持时态一致;"sticky note" 应使用复数 "sticky notes" 或在前加冠词。中文建议:描述习惯性动作用一般现在时,注意可数名词的单复数一致。
