Part 1

Examiner

What is your favourite food?

Candidate

I'm quite fond of spicy food. I love bold, intense flavor. I often choose meals with chili or hot sauce. Although spicy meals upset my stomach and give me diarrhea, I still indulge in them occasionally. I find the taste irresistible.

Examiner

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Candidate

When I was a kid, I found sweet foods tasted heavenly. I definitely had a sweet tooth. I was always craving something sweet such as candies, ice creams and chocolate milk. That's why before my milk teeth fell out, I had a lot of tooth decay.

Examiner

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Candidate

Yes, my diet changes quite a bit depending on the season. In the summer, I tend to crave light, fresh food like fruit salads or cold noodles because it's so scorching outside. However, as the weather gets colder, I lean towards hearty, spicy dishes like Malaton to warm up.

Examiner

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, my taste has changed a lot since I was a child. When I was little, I often found sweet foods for irresistible and was always craving sugary food such as chocolate milk. But now I am extremely fond of spicy and salty food instead.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: 回答内容直接且清楚,但有两个问题需要改进:1) 不要包含过于私人或不必要的医学细节(如“腹泻”),这会影响自然与得体性;2) 回答稍显重复,可用更丰富的细节和连接词来扩展,保持句子不超过5句并更连贯。建议简化个人健康信息,替换为一般感受或频率描述,并用一两个具体例子说明喜欢的菜肴或调味方式。

Example: I really enjoy spicy food because I love bold, intense flavors. I often add chili or hot sauce to dishes like stir-fried noodles or grilled chicken. However, I only eat very spicy meals occasionally to avoid discomfort. Overall, the kick of spice makes ordinary dishes much more exciting.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: 回答直接但包含不必要且略显尴尬的细节(如“乳牙掉之前蛀牙很多”),影响自然与得体。应保持内容简洁,并用具体例子和连接词丰富答案(例如为什么喜欢甜食,或举一两个常吃的甜点)。避免过多的个人健康细节。

Example: I loved sweet foods as a child because they were comforting and fun. I often ate candies, ice cream and chocolate milk after school. I remember trading sweets with my friends and looking forward to weekend treats. Those early habits certainly made sweets my go-to comfort food.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: 总体回答清晰并包含季节性对比,但需改进两点:1) 避免拼写或专有名词错误(如“Malaton”可能拼错或不常见),用更常见的例子替代;2) 使用连接词使句子更连贯,可再给出一两个细节说明为何喜欢这些食物。

Example: Yes, my diet changes with the seasons. In summer I prefer light, refreshing dishes like fruit salads and cold noodles because they help me stay cool. In winter I choose hearty meals such as stews and spicy hotpots to keep warm and feel satisfied.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: 回答结构合理,但存在语言小错误(如“found sweet foods for irresistible”语法问题)且部分信息重复。改进建议:用一两句清楚对比过去与现在的口味变化,说明原因或举例,并用连接词使句子自然流畅。保持不超过5句。

Example: Yes, my preferences have changed a lot. As a child I loved sugary treats like chocolate milk and candies, but now I prefer spicy and savory flavors. I think this shift happened because I've tried more international cuisines and developed a taste for stronger seasonings.

Grammar

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I love bold, intense flavor.

I love bold, intense flavors.

原句中“flavor”應與前面的複數形容詞搭配或根據語境表達一般喜好時通常用複數“flavors”。建議使用複數來表示各種不同的強烈口味。

5: Past tense issue

× When I was a kid, I found sweet foods tasted heavenly.

When I was a kid, I found sweet foods tasted heavenly. -> When I was a kid, I found sweet foods to taste heavenly. 或 When I was a kid, sweet foods tasted heavenly to me.

原句中“found”後面跟一個描述感覺的從句時,常用“不定式”結構(found + object + to + 原形動詞)或直接用“tasted”作主句謂語。原句混用了兩種結構,造成語法不自然或冗餘。建議改為“found sweet foods to taste heavenly”或重構為“sweet foods tasted heavenly to me”。(簡體中文解釋)當用 find 表達某人覺得某物如何時,常用 find sth (to be) adj 或直接用主語+謂語,避免直接接另一個完整過去時動詞。

8: Verb + -ing form

× I was always craving something sweet such as candies, ice creams and chocolate milk.

I was always craving something sweet, such as candy, ice cream and chocolate milk.

原句中“candies, ice creams”在此處應使用不可數或常見的集合名詞形式“candy, ice cream”。此外在列舉前加逗號並用“such as”引出例子使句子更自然。動詞“craving”本身沒錯,但名詞形式需更地道。(簡體中文解釋)“candy”和“ice cream”通常作不可數名詞表示種食品類,使用複數會顯得不太自然。

1: Singular and plural issue

× That's why before my milk teeth fell out, I had a lot of tooth decay.

That's why, before my baby teeth fell out, I had a lot of tooth decay.

“milk teeth”是美式/英式不常用的表達,通常用“baby teeth”更地道;此外“tooth decay”本身不可數且前面可用“a lot of”但更自然的表達可保留。主要修正為名詞用法以符合習慣搭配。(簡體中文解釋)用“baby teeth”比“milk teeth”更常見,保持名詞單數/複數和搭配自然。

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× In the summer, I tend to crave light, fresh food like fruit salads or cold noodles because it's so scorching outside.

In the summer, I tend to crave light, fresh foods like fruit salad or cold noodles because it's so scorching outside.

“food”在此處可改為複數“foods”或將後面的名詞改為不可數形式“fruit salad”。保持名詞形式一致能使句子更自然。(簡體中文解釋)列舉多種類型時用複數或將特定菜名用不可數形式更合適。

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× However, as the weather gets colder, I lean towards hearty, spicy dishes like Malaton to warm up.

However, as the weather gets colder, I lean towards hearty, spicy dishes like malatang to warm up.

原句中“Malaton”拼寫錯誤,正確應為“malatang”(麻辣燙)或寫成“malatang (spicy hot pot)”來說明。拼寫錯誤屬於詞彙拼寫/用詞問題,按本條目將其視為形容詞/名詞用法錯誤並修正為正確單詞。(簡體中文解釋)把菜名拼寫正確為“malatang”,以免影響理解。

6: Present tense issue

× When I was little, I often found sweet foods for irresistible and was always craving sugary food such as chocolate milk.

When I was little, I often found sweet foods irresistible and was always craving sugary foods such as chocolate milk.

原句中“found ... for irresistible”是錯誤搭配,正確應為“found ... irresistible”(不加介詞“for”)。此外“sugary food”改為複數“sugary foods”或保持不可數視語境,這裡列舉例子時用複數更自然。錯誤原因是介詞誤用與名詞單複數搭配問題。(簡體中文解釋)不要在“find”和形容詞之間加“for”;同時列舉多種甜食時用複數更自然。

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× But now I am extremely fond of spicy and salty food instead.

But now I am extremely fond of spicy and salty foods instead.

在表達對多種食物的喜好時,使用複數“foods”比不可數“food”更自然,尤其是在與“spicy and salty”並列時。保持名詞形式一致使語句更流暢。(簡體中文解釋)表示種類多時用複數形式會更地道。
