Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
Yes, I really enjoy reading. I usually read for about half an hour before bed and whenever I have free time because reading helps me relax and broaden my knowledge. I like novels and nonfiction. Recently I've been reading a historical book about the Ming dynasty in China.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
Usually I prefer reading on a screen because it's extremely convenient. I can read on my phone when I'm traveling and don't need to carry many books at once. However, I also enjoy reading paper books for their texture and smile of the real pages.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
When I need to learn something in detail, such as acquiring professional skills or studying for an exam, I read very carefully so that I understand every point. But for less inform important information like casual news or short emails, I usually skim quickly to get the main idea.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
It's more about the scenario. For studying, I prefer detailed reading because I need to memorize essential information and fully understand concepts for exams. For less significant material, I usually skim the text for like headings and summaries to save time.
Do you like reading?
Score: 86.0Suggestion: 总体表现很好:回答直接、内容充实且有具体细节。但可改进处:1) 句子略长,可用一两处连接词替换冗长结构以更自然流畅;2) 加入一两句个人感受或具体例子(例如最喜欢的一本书或如何影响你)会更具体有说服力;3) 注意避免重复表达(如“before bed and whenever I have free time”可简化)。
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I usually read about half an hour before bed because it helps me relax and expand my knowledge. I read both novels and nonfiction; for example, I recently finished a detailed history of the Ming dynasty which gave me new insights into how China's government worked in that era.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: 表达清晰但存在语言错误和词汇选择不当的问题:1) 注意用词准确,例如“smile of the real pages”不合适,应为“smell”或“feel”;2) 回答可更简洁,最多5句,避免重复(如两次表达喜好);3) 可用连接词(however, because, so)使句子更连贯。
Example: I usually prefer reading on a screen because it’s very convenient — I can read on my phone when I’m traveling and don’t need to carry many books. However, I still like paper books for their feel and the smell of real pages, which makes reading more enjoyable.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 内容明确且有对比,但存在语法与用词错误:1) 注意词序与词形(如“less inform important”应为“less important or informal”);2) 可用连接词(for example, whereas)明确对比;3) 提供具体例子或方法(如做笔记、划重点)会更有说服力。
Example: I read carefully when I need to learn something in depth, for example when I’m studying for an exam or learning a professional skill, and I often take notes to remember key points. Whereas for less important or informal material, like short news items or emails, I usually skim to pick up the main idea.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答结构清楚并对应场景,但语言可更精炼和自然:1) 避免口语填充词(例如“for like headings”应简化为“for headings”);2) 用一两个连接词增强逻辑;3) 给出具体策略(例如标注、做摘要)会提升内容具体性。
Example: It depends on the situation. For studying, I prefer detailed reading so I can fully understand concepts and memorize essential information; I often highlight key points. For less important material, I usually skim headings and summaries to save time.

✓ However, I also enjoy reading paper books for their texture and smell of the real pages.
原句中使用了“smile”(微笑)显然是笔误,正确应为“smell”(气味/纸张的味道),这是形容词/副词或词汇选择错误。建议注意拼写,回读句子确认单词在语境中是否合适。
× When I need to learn something in detail, such as acquiring professional skills or studying for an exam, I read very carefully so that I understand every point.
✓ When I need to learn something in detail, such as acquiring professional skills or studying for an exam, I read very carefully so that I can understand every point.
原句中时态与目的状语不够明确,使用“so that I understand”虽然语法上可接受,但更自然的表达是“so that I can understand”,强调目的和能力。建议在表示“为了能……”时使用“so that + can/will”以表明目的或结果。
× But for less inform important information like casual news or short emails, I usually skim quickly to get the main idea.
✓ But for less important information like casual news or short emails, I usually skim quickly to get the main idea.
原句中出现“inform important”显然是词序或拼写错误,应为“less important”。属于形容词使用/词汇错误。建议删除多余或错误的词并检查形容词短语的正确顺序(如 less important)。
× For less significant material, I usually skim the text for like headings and summaries to save time.
✓ For less significant material, I usually skim the text for headings and summaries to save time.
原句中插入了多余的“like”导致结构不自然。此处不需要“like”,直接用“for headings and summaries”更简洁正确。属于动词后接短语结构错误。建议删去不必要的填充词,以保持句子简洁流畅。
