Part 1
Examiner
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Candidate
I enjoy buying shoes, but not very often. I buy new ones only when my old pair is completely worn out because I don't want to be wasteful. For instance, the pair I'm wearing now lasted nearly three years, so I prefer to invest a durable pair.
Examiner
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Candidate
Yes, I buy most of my shoes online because it's convenient and time saving. Last month I purchased a pair of boots from a popular sports site after comparing several stores and models and reading user reviews. And if the size wasn't right, I can simply return them for free.
Examiner
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Candidate
Since I care a lot about the quality of shoes, I don't mind paying more for a good pair. I usually spend around CN¥500 on shoes.
Examiner
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Candidate
I prefer comfortable shoes. Fashionable shoes are often made more for looks than quality, so they aren't usually very durable. Comfortable shoes on the other hand, are well made and supportive, so I can wear them for walking or standing for long time and they last four years.
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: 回答自然且信息充足,但可提升流利度与连贯性:1) 开头可更直接用一句话回应考官(主题句);2) 使用更多连接词(例如 therefore, so, because)使逻辑更清晰;3) 加入一两个具体例子或频率词(e.g., once every two years)以提高内容具体性。保持句子数不超过五句。
Example: Yes, I like buying shoes, but I do it infrequently. I usually replace shoes only when they are completely worn out because I try to avoid waste. For example, the pair I’m wearing now lasted nearly three years, so I prefer to invest in durable footwear that will save money in the long run.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Score: 90.0Suggestion: 回答清晰且有细节,使用了举例说明经历。改进点:1) 用更连贯的连接词替换句首的“And”;2) 将时态保持一致(最后一句建议用过去或一般现在时);3) 可补充一两词描述购物决策的依据(e.g., fit, comfort)。
Example: Yes, I buy most of my shoes online because it’s convenient and saves time. For instance, last month I bought a pair of boots from a popular sports site after comparing several stores and models and reading user reviews. If the size isn’t right, I can usually return them for free, which makes online shopping low-risk.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Score: 92.0Suggestion: 回答直接且相关,表达清楚。改进建议:1) 可在首句增加主题句更直接回应问题;2) 用连接词补充说明为何愿意花钱(例如 for durability, comfort);3) 如能加入对比(e.g., compared to cheap shoes)会更具体。保持简洁。
Example: I usually spend about CN¥500 on shoes because I prioritise quality and durability. Paying more ensures better comfort and longer use compared to cheaper alternatives.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Score: 89.0Suggestion: 回答明确并有比较,但可增强语言自然度和精确度:1) 用更简洁的主题句开头并使用对比连接词(e.g., whereas, while, whereas);2) 修正小语法/搭配错误(e.g., 'for a long time', 'last about four years');3) 提供一具体例子或情境说明何时选择舒适鞋。
Example: I prefer comfortable shoes, whereas fashionable ones tend to prioritise looks over quality. Comfortable shoes are usually better made and more supportive, so I can wear them for walking or standing for a long time; for example, a good pair of trainers I bought lasted about four years.
× I buy most of my shoes online because it's convenient and time saving.
✓ I buy most of my shoes online because it's convenient and time-saving.
“time saving” 在这里用作形容词修饰 convenient,作为复合形容词应连字符连接为 “time-saving”。建议:当两个或多个单词共同修饰名词时,若构成复合形容词,使用连字符以避免歧义。
× And if the size wasn't right, I can simply return them for free.
✓ And if the size isn't right, I can simply return them for free.
原句时态混用:前半句用过去式/虚拟语气“wasn't”,后半句用情态动词“can”表示现在或将来。此处讨论一般现在情况,应使用现在时“isn't”。建议:如果条件是一般事实或现在可能发生的情况,用一般现在时从句(if + 主语 + 动词原形/第三人称单数形式)。
× For instance, the pair I'm wearing now lasted nearly three years, so I prefer to invest a durable pair.
✓ For instance, the pair I'm wearing now has lasted nearly three years, so I prefer to invest in a durable pair.
句子问题包括时态与介词使用:1) 描述从过去持续到现在的时间应使用现在完成时“has lasted”;2) “invest a durable pair” 动词短语不完整,习惯搭配为 “invest in something”;3) also 更自然使用 “a durable pair” 前加冠词并用介词。建议:表示从过去持续到现在的动作用现在完成时;熟悉动词固定搭配(invest in)。
× Comfortable shoes on the other hand, are well made and supportive, so I can wear them for walking or standing for long time and they last four years.
✓ Comfortable shoes, on the other hand, are well made and supportive, so I can wear them for walking or standing for a long time and they can last four years.
问题包括标点与时态/数量搭配:1) “on the other hand” 应以逗号隔开以改善句子结构;2) “for long time” 缺少不定冠词,应为 “for a long time”;3) 最后部分表达持续时间时应加情态动词“can”或使用复数现在时“they last about four years” 为更自然表达,原句与前半句意义连贯需表示能力或可能性建议用 “can last”。建议:注意固定短语标点、冠词使用以及一致的时态或情态动词表达可能性。
