Part 1
Examiner
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Candidate
I'm not fond of buying shoes because I'm not interested in luxuries or different brands, so I often buy shoes once a year when they become worn out.
Examiner
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Candidate
I have never bought shoes online because I would want to try them on in order to know whether they are snug and wearable. Moreover, some shops online sell low quality shoes and I'm quite concerned about it.
Examiner
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Candidate
As I prefer wearable and lightweight sport shoes, which are quite expensive, I often spend 300 to $500 on buying shoes that can last longer.
Examiner
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Candidate
I prefer comfortable shoes because I often wear them in PE classes or when I walk to school, which is a long distance. So I need these shoes to be padded and lightweight to reduce the sense of fatigue.
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答较直接且信息清楚,但句子有些冗长,且缺少连接词和具体细节。可将主题句与原因分成两部分,用连接词使逻辑更流畅,并补充具体情境(例如哪个季节或为什么只买一次)。注意句子数量不超过五句。
Example: Not really. I usually buy shoes only once a year because I don't care about brands or luxury items. For example, I replace them when they are completely worn out, usually at the end of the school year. This approach saves me money and keeps my wardrobe simple.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答清晰且有理由,但可以更自然地使用连接词并加入具体例子来增强说服力(例如曾遇到过的质量问题或尺码不合的经历)。同时可以用更地道的短语替换某些表达,使语言更自然。
Example: No, I haven't. I prefer trying shoes on in a shop to make sure they fit well and feel comfortable. Also, I've heard of online stores sending poorly made shoes or wrong sizes, so I worry about wasting money. For these reasons, I avoid buying footwear online.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 回答给出金额,但表达有些混乱(货币符号和顺序不一致),且缺少具体背景细节,可说明货币单位和购买频率,并解释为何愿意花这笔钱(例如材质、品牌、功能)。避免冗长句子并用连词清晰分开原因与数额。
Example: I usually spend between $300 and $500 on a pair of sports shoes. I choose higher-priced models because they are lightweight, durable and have good cushioning, so they last much longer than cheaper options.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: 回答直接且有具体原因,结构良好。但可用更自然的连接词简化表达,并提供一个小对比或例子(例如曾经不舒服的鞋子经历),使答案更生动。注意控制在三到四句内。
Example: I prefer comfortable shoes to fashionable ones because I walk a long way to school and also wear them for PE. For instance, padded, lightweight trainers prevent my feet from getting sore after long walks. So comfort is my top priority.
× I'm not fond of buying shoes because I'm not interested in luxuries or different brands, so I often buy shoes once a year when they become worn out.
✓ I'm not fond of buying shoes because I'm not interested in luxuries or different brands, so I often buy shoes once a year when they become worn out.
原句中“fond of buying”与语境相符,不需改动。此处使用动名词(V+ing)表示喜欢/不喜欢某个动作或活动,结构正确。
× I have never bought shoes online because I would want to try them on in order to know whether they are snug and wearable.
✓ I have never bought shoes online because I want to try them on in order to know whether they are snug and wearable.
虽然原句使用现在完成时表示过去至今未发生的经历是正确的,但从句中用到“would”不符合真实意愿表达。这里应使用一般现在时的“want”表示现在的愿望或偏好。建议将“would want”改为“want”。(语法问题类别贴合为动词时态/用法,归类为“Verb + -ing form”之外最接近的为现在时使用,这里按第6项处理为现在时问题。)
× Moreover, some shops online sell low quality shoes and I'm quite concerned about it.
✓ Moreover, some online shops sell low-quality shoes and I'm quite concerned about this.
“shops online”更自然的词序是“online shops”。此外,“low quality”作复合形容词修饰名词时应加连字符“low-quality”。代词“it”指代不明确,改为“this”更清晰。建议调整词序并添加连字符,代词用this。
× As I prefer wearable and lightweight sport shoes, which are quite expensive, I often spend 300 to $500 on buying shoes that can last longer.
✓ As I prefer wearable and lightweight sports shoes, which are quite expensive, I often spend $300 to $500 on shoes that will last longer.
“sport shoes”通常应为“sports shoes”。金额表达前应加货币符号和数值顺序统一为“$300 to $500”或“$300–$500”。“on buying shoes”中介词搭配更自然的表达是“spend $ on shoes”而不是“spend $ on buying shoes”。表示“能更耐用”用将来/趋向短语“will last longer”更恰当。
× I prefer comfortable shoes because I often wear them in PE classes or when I walk to school, which is a long distance.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes because I often wear them in PE classes or when I walk a long distance to school.
原句中“when I walk to school, which is a long distance”中“which”指代不明确且导致结构啰嗦。应将“a long distance”放在动词短语后,改为“walk a long distance to school”。此外“PE classes”为可数复数,保持不变。这样句子更简洁、自然。
× So I need these shoes to be padded and lightweight to reduce the sense of fatigue.
✓ So I need my shoes to be padded and lightweight to reduce fatigue.
“these shoes”在上下文中不如“my shoes”自然,因为说话者指的是自己常穿的鞋子。短语“reduce the sense of fatigue”冗长,常用简洁的“reduce fatigue”。建议使用“my shoes”并简化“reduce fatigue”。
