Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
To be honest, I'm not particularly good at memorizing things overall. I can remember things related to my studies and hobbies quite well, like research data or climate techniques, but I always struggle with remembering people's names and phone numbers, which is quite embarrassing sometimes.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, definitely. Last month I almost forgot my student ID card before an important midterm exam. I only remembered it when I was already at the school gate and I had to run back home to get it. Now I always put all important things in my bag the night before to avoid this kind of trouble.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
Well, there are quite a few things I need to remember in my daily life. Most importantly, I have to keep track of my class schedules, assignment deadlines, and the steps for my lab experiments. I also need to remember small daily things like buying groceries, meeting friends and my family members birthdays.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
I often write important things in a small notebook because I like having a physical record. I can quickly check for appointments and urgent tasks. I set reminders in my mobile calendar app so I don't forget them.

Score: 84.0Suggestion: 回答自然且内容具体,但句子有些冗长且信息可更有条理。建议:1) 开头用一句明确的主题句直接回应问题;2) 用连接词分段说明优劣势(例如:However, For example);3) 精简表达,避免重复同义词;4) 提高词汇准确性(例如 climate techniques 可改为 climate-related techniques 或 climate data)。
Example: I'm not particularly good at memorising things overall. However, I can easily remember information related to my studies and hobbies, such as research data and climate-related techniques. On the other hand, I often struggle to remember people's names and phone numbers, which can be quite embarrassing.

Example: Yes, I have. For example, last month I almost forgot my student ID card before a midterm exam. I only realised it at the school gate and had to run home to get it, so I now always place important items in my bag the night before to prevent this from happening again.

× I only remembered it when I was already at the school gate and I had to run back home to get it.
✓ I only remembered it when I was already at the school gate, so I had to run back home to get it.
句子原文中用并列结构连接两部分显得逻辑关系不够明确。将关联词替换为“so”或在两部分之间加逗号可以更清楚地表示因果关系,避免歧义。建议在表达因果关系时使用适当的连接词或标点,使句子更通顺。
× Now I always put all important things in my bag the night before to avoid this kind of trouble.
✓ Now I always put all the important things in my bag the night before to avoid this kind of trouble.
在英语中,当名词前有限定词时通常需要使用定冠词“the”来特指一类事物。“all important things”在此句应指“那些重要的东西”,因此需要“the”。建议在类似情境下使用定冠词来指代特定的一组事物。
× Most importantly, I have to keep track of my class schedules, assignment deadlines, and the steps for my lab experiments.
✓ Most importantly, I have to keep track of my class schedules, assignment deadlines, and the steps of my lab experiments.
短语“steps for my lab experiments”并不常见,通常用“steps of”或“steps in”来表示实验步骤属于某个实验。此处使用“of”更自然。建议在表达某事物的步骤时使用固定搭配“steps of”或“steps in”。
× I often write important things in a small notebook because I like having a physical record.
✓ I often write important things down in a small notebook because I like having a physical record.
动词短语“write down”表示把信息记录下来,省略“down”会让动词搭配不完整或意思不够明确。建议使用完整短语“write down”以表达记下的动作。
× I can quickly check for appointments and urgent tasks.
✓ I can quickly check my appointments and urgent tasks.
短语“check for appointments”常用于寻找或确认是否存在某事,而此处意指查看已安排的日程,故应直接用“check my appointments”。建议根据语境选择合适的介词或省略介词以准确表达意思。
× I can remember things related to my studies and hobbies quite well, like research data or climate techniques, but I always struggle with remembering people's names and phone numbers, which is quite embarrassing sometimes.
✓ I can remember things related to my studies and hobbies quite well, like research data or climate techniques, but I always struggle to remember people's names and phone numbers, which is quite embarrassing sometimes.
动词短语“struggle with remembering”虽然可理解,但更常见和简洁的表达是“struggle to remember”。这是语法和搭配的问题,使用不当会使句子显得冗长或不地道。建议用“struggle to + 动词原形”来表达努力做某事时的惯用搭配。
× I also need to remember small daily things like buying groceries, meeting friends and my family members birthdays.
✓ I also need to remember small daily things like buying groceries, meeting friends and my family members' birthdays.
“my family members birthdays”缺少所有格形式的撇号,表示“家人们的生日”时应为“family members' birthdays”。此外可根据语境简化为“my family members' birthdays”或“my family's birthdays”。建议注意所有格标记以明确归属关系。
