Part 1
Examiner
Are there tall buildings near your home?
Candidate
Yes, of course. For now I'm living in the center of the, uh, Shenzhen city, and it's just 10 minutes walk from my company, which is a high building, almost 20 floors.
Examiner
Do you take photos of buildings?
Candidate
It really depends because there are many different kinds of buildings. For example, if it is uh, buildings like my company high skyscrapers, I don't think I will take photos of them because it's quite normal and I really don't want to see them again. But if it is some, uh, ancient architecture, perhaps I will.
Examiner
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Candidate
Yes, definitely when it comes to Asian building, I'd like to go to Beijing again and to see the Forbidden City. It's quite magnificent and uh, features huge, uh, historical value and uh, it's really a memorable and uh, really astounding to see it.
Examiner
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Candidate
Not really, because, uh, compared with the tall buildings, I'd rather to live in a house with a garden or with a good view. It's more important than living in a high building with compacted residence.
Are there tall buildings near your home?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 总体表达清晰,能直接回答问题并给出细节,但存在填充词(如“uh”)和少许语法/搭配问题。建议减少语气词,改进连贯性,句子更自然:用更简洁的句型并注意冠词和词序。例如把“the center of the, uh, Shenzhen city”简化为“the centre of Shenzhen”。
Example: Yes, there are. I live in the centre of Shenzhen, and my office is only a ten-minute walk away. It’s in a tall building of about twenty storeys, so I see many high-rises around me.
Do you take photos of buildings?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答结构合理但有重复和语法错误,表达不够简洁。建议使用更连贯的连接词(e.g. however, whereas)并避免重复(如“really don't want to see them again”),同时注意名词短语和形容词顺序(e.g. “my company's skyscraper”)。
Example: It depends. I usually don’t photograph modern skyscrapers like my company’s because they’re common, whereas I often take pictures of ancient buildings because their architecture is unique and historically interesting.
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: 回答表达热情且包含细节,但语气词过多且有部分重复(memorable/astounding)。建议简化并使用更准确的词汇(e.g. "historic importance"),同时用一两句说明原因或印象以增强内容的具体性。
Example: Yes, I’d love to visit the Forbidden City in Beijing again. It’s an impressive place with great historic importance, and I remember being amazed by its scale, intricate decoration and well-preserved palaces.
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 观点明确但有语法和词汇使用问题(如“compacted residence”不自然,和“rather to live”应为“would rather live”)。建议用更地道的表达说明原因并给出具体偏好(如花园、私密性、安静)。
Example: Not really. I would prefer living in a house with a garden and a good view because it offers more privacy, outdoor space and a quieter environment than a high-rise apartment.
× For now I'm living in the center of the, uh, Shenzhen city, and it's just 10 minutes walk from my company, which is a high building, almost 20 floors.
✓ For now I'm living in the center of Shenzhen, and it's just a 10-minute walk from my company, which is a tall building of almost 20 floors.
问题类型:现在时/表达及词形用法。解释:原句中“10 minutes walk”缺少冠词并且“10-minute”应作为复合形容词用连字符;“the, uh, Shenzhen city”中定冠词和“city”多余,通常说“Shenzhen”或“Shenzhen city”但不加定冠词;“a high building, almost 20 floors”不自然,应用形容词“tall”修饰并用“of almost 20 floors”或“with almost 20 floors”。改进建议:把时间/距离表达调整为“a 10-minute walk”,去掉多余定冠词,使用更自然的名词短语结构。
× For example, if it is uh, buildings like my company high skyscrapers, I don't think I will take photos of them because it's quite normal and I really don't want to see them again.
✓ For example, if they are buildings like my company's tall skyscrapers, I don't think I will take photos of them because they're quite common and I don't really want to see them again.
问题类型:单复数/指代不一致。解释:原句中“If it is ... buildings”主语与谓语及指代不一致,应使用复数代词“they are”或“If they are buildings”;“my company high skyscrapers”缺少所有格和形容词顺序,应为“my company's tall skyscrapers”;“it's quite normal”用于复数应为“they're quite common”。改进建议:确保主语和动词在数上一致,使用所有格表示所属,并用合适的形容词替换不自然的词。
× But if it is some, uh, ancient architecture, perhaps I will.
✓ But if it is some ancient architecture, perhaps I will take photos.
问题类型:动词+ -ing形式(隐含动词不完整)/句子结构不完整。解释:原句末尾省略了动词短语,导致句子不完整且含义模糊。改进建议:补全动词短语“take photos”以使句意明确;同时可将“it is some ancient architecture”简化为“it's some ancient architecture”。
× Yes, definitely when it comes to Asian building, I'd like to go to Beijing again and to see the Forbidden City.
✓ Yes, definitely when it comes to Asian buildings, I'd like to go to Beijing again and see the Forbidden City.
问题类型:现在时/名词单复数和不定式用法。解释:原句“Asian building”应使用复数“Asian buildings”来表示一类建筑;“and to see”中第二个不定式不需要重复“to”,更自然说“and see”。改进建议:注意表示类别时用复数,连并列动词短语时省去重复的“to”。
× It's quite magnificent and uh, features huge, uh, historical value and uh, it's really a memorable and uh, really astounding to see it.
✓ It's quite magnificent and features huge historical value; it's really memorable and truly astounding to see.
问题类型:形容词/副词使用不当与重复啰嗦。解释:原句“features huge, uh, historical value”中“huge historical value”更自然;“a memorable”后缺少名词或应直接用形容词“memorable”;“really a memorable and uh, really astounding to see it”结构混乱且重复。改进建议:精简重复的语气词,使用正确的搭配(如“memorable”直接作表语),并删除多余的“it”或调整为完整从句。
× Not really, because, uh, compared with the tall buildings, I'd rather to live in a house with a garden or with a good view.
✓ Not really, because compared with tall buildings, I'd rather live in a house with a garden or with a good view.
问题类型:第三人称单数问题(实为不定式使用错误)。解释:此处问题是动词短语“rather to live”不正确,固定表达为“would rather + base form”后不带“to”,所以应为“I'd rather live”;此外“the tall buildings”可简化为复数不定泛指“tall buildings”。改进建议:记住“would rather”后面跟动词原形,不使用“to”;省略不必要的定冠词以表达泛指。
× it's just 10 minutes walk from my company
✓ it's just a 10-minute walk from my company
问题类型:介词/短语搭配错误与冠词使用。解释:短语“10 minutes walk”缺少连字符并且作名词短语时需要冠词“a”;正确表达为“a 10-minute walk from”。改进建议:学习时间/距离的常见表达形式,使用连字符构成复合形容词并加冠词。
× For example, if it is uh, buildings like my company high skyscrapers, I don't think I will take photos of them because it's quite normal and I really don't want to see them again.
✓ For example, if they are buildings like my company's tall skyscrapers, I don't think I will take photos of them because they're quite common and I don't really want to see them again.
问题类型:代词使用错误。解释:原句中用“it is”与后面的复数“buildings”不一致,应使用复数代词或复数形式的be动词“they are”;另外“it's quite normal”与复数主体搭配应为“they're”。改进建议:确保代词和动词在人称与数上一致,读句子时核对主语是单数还是复数。
× when it comes to Asian building, I'd like to go to Beijing again
✓ when it comes to Asian buildings, I'd like to go to Beijing again
问题类型:冠词/数的一致性错误。解释:短语“Asian building”表示一类事物时应使用复数“Asian buildings”或在单数时用冠词“an Asian building”。改进建议:判断是泛指一类事物则用复数,特指单一对象则使用不定冠词或定冠词。
