Part 1
Examiner
What is your favourite food?
Candidate
I don't really have a specific food that I really like, but if I have to say that would definitely be seafood. I really enjoy eating seafood, especially lobster and also some clams, all kinds of seafood, I really like it.
Examiner
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Candidate
When I was little I really liked something really sweet like chocolate and candy. But after I grew up I suddenly cannot afford eating so much sweet. I think it makes me feel dizzy and sometimes feel uncomfortable.
Examiner
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Candidate
For food, and not exactly because I think Taiwan has all kinds of food between the seasons, but if it's fruits, then maybe yes, like papaya and mango, something more seasonal fruits that may be different.
What is your favourite food?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答总体自然,但有重复与啰嗦(如“really”多次)。可用一到两句作主题句,再用一至两句具体说明喜欢的理由或举例,使用连接词提高连贯性,并替换部分重复词汇以丰富词汇量。
Example: I don’t have one favourite food, but I’m particularly fond of seafood. For example, I love lobster for its sweet, tender meat and clams because they’re light and flavorful, which makes seafood my top choice for special meals.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 内容明确但表达有语法与用词问题(如“cannot afford eating so much sweet”不自然),语句冗余且逻辑连接欠缺。建议先给出主题句,再用连接词说明原因与现在的变化,修正不自然的短语并提供具体细节。
Example: When I was a child, I loved sweet snacks like chocolate and candy. However, as I got older I reduced my sugar intake because large amounts now make me feel lightheaded and unwell.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 回答内容合理但句子结构松散且有重复(如“for food, and not exactly”),表达可更简洁有序。建议先直接回答“yes/no”,然后用连接词举例说明季节性差异并给出具体水果和原因。
Example: Not really for cooked dishes, because Taiwan offers diverse food year-round, but yes for fruits. For instance, mangoes are more common in summer while papayas are fresher and sweeter in late spring.
× I don't really have a specific food that I really like, but if I have to say that would definitely be seafood.
✓ I don't really have a specific food that I really like, but if I had to say, it would definitely be seafood.
问题类型:主谓一致/句子结构错误(选择最合适的时态/虚拟语气表达)。原句中 if I have to say 与后半句 that would 结合不自然,正确用法为虚拟条件 if I had to say, it would…(表示假设或非真实情况)。建议在表达“如果非要说”的情况下使用过去式 if I had to say,随后主句用 would 表示推测。
× I really enjoy eating seafood, especially lobster and also some clams, all kinds of seafood, I really like it.
✓ I really enjoy eating seafood, especially lobster and clams — I like all kinds of seafood.
问题类型:现在时与句子结构冗长/重复。原句有重复表达(enjoy eating seafood 与 I really like it)。建议合并为更简洁的现在时句子,并去掉多余的逗号碎片,保持主谓一致和流畅。
× When I was little I really liked something really sweet like chocolate and candy.
✓ When I was little, I really liked very sweet things like chocolate and candy.
问题类型:现在时/句子结构与词类使用。原句中 something really sweet 用法不够自然,且重复使用 really。将其改为 very sweet things 更符合名词短语用法,并在时间状语后加逗号以利于阅读。建议避免重复副词并使用正确的名词短语。
× But after I grew up I suddenly cannot afford eating so much sweet.
✓ But after I grew up, I suddenly couldn't eat so many sweets.
问题类型:过去时错误。句子描述的是过去成长后的变化,应使用过去时 couldn't。另有名词和数量搭配错误:sweet 为形容词或不可数名词,表示“很多甜食”应使用复数可数名词 sweets 或 many sweet foods;also 不需要 afford 在此语境用法不当,改为 couldn't eat 表达不能再吃这么多。建议使用过去时并注意可数/不可数名词形式。
× I think it makes me feel dizzy and sometimes feel uncomfortable.
✓ I think it made me feel dizzy and sometimes uncomfortable.
问题类型:形容词/副词使用与时态一致性。前句用过去时(after I grew up ...),这里应与之保持一致,用 made。我也将 feel uncomfortable 简化为 uncomfortable(形容词补语)。建议保持时态一致并用简洁的形容词结构。
× For food, and not exactly because I think Taiwan has all kinds of food between the seasons, but if it's fruits, then maybe yes, like papaya and mango, something more seasonal fruits that may be different.
✓ Not really for main dishes, because I think Taiwan has all kinds of food year-round, but for fruits maybe yes — like papaya and mango; seasonal fruits can be different.
问题类型:现在时与句子结构错误。原句结构混乱、连词使用不当且时态与表达不一致。将句子重组为清晰的现在时表达:先否定总体变化,再说明水果会随季节变化。建议简化从句,清楚区分主菜与水果,并使用 year-round 表达全年供应。
