Part 1
Examiner
Are there tall buildings near your home?
Candidate
Yes, there are few tall apartment blocks and an office tower within walking distance of my home. For example, a 20 Storey residential building was completed last year which has noticeably changed the skylight and provided more housing auctions in the area I lived.
Examiner
Do you take photos of buildings?
Candidate
No, I'm not really keen on taking photos of buildings because I don't find ordinary buildings particularly interesting. However, I sometimes photograph famous landmarks like Tokyo Tower because of its unique design and historical significance.
Examiner
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Candidate
Definitely. I'm really eager to visit a National Palace museum because I want to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese history and traditional art, and especially interested in seeing ancient artifacts such as jade jet carvings and ancient practices.
Examiner
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Candidate
Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because it also offers great views and better natural light, which I find uplifting. For example, living on a high floor in a city apartment can reduce St. noise and provide a sense of privacy.

Score: 74.0Suggestion: 表达较清楚但有若干语法与用词不当(如“a few”与“few”的区分,‘Storey’大小写,‘skylight’用词不准,‘housing auctions’意义模糊,时态与定冠词使用亦可改进)。建议:1) 使用正确的量词和冠词(例如 “a few” 表示有一些)。2) 注意专有名词大小写和常用拼写(“storey”英式,或用“story”美式);用更准确词汇(如 “skyline” 而非 “skylight”)。3) 简化句子,最多5句,首句直接回答,随后用一到两句提供具体细节并用连接词衔接。
Example: Yes, there are a few tall apartment blocks and an office tower within walking distance. For example, a 20-story residential building was completed last year, and it has noticeably changed the skyline. As a result, the area now offers more housing options for local residents.
Do you take photos of buildings?
Score: 86.0Suggestion: 回答自然且结构清晰,但可以更简洁并用连接词加强逻辑(例如用“but”或“however”已使用,但可加一句具体例子或频率)。建议:1) 首句直接回答并给出理由;2) 用一两句具体说明你会拍摄哪些建筑和原因,尽量保持不超过五句。
Example: No, I don't usually photograph ordinary buildings because I find them unremarkable. However, I sometimes take photos of famous landmarks such as Tokyo Tower because of its striking design and historical significance, especially when I visit a city.
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答表达热情,但存在措辞和细节问题(如“a National Palace museum”不自然,‘jade jet carvings’词组错误,‘ancient practices’不适合用于参观的实物例子)。建议:1) 使用准确的机构名称(例如 “the National Palace Museum”);2) 提供具体的实物或展品名称并避免冗余;3) 保持句子简洁并用连接词衔接原因与具体例子。
Example: Definitely. I would love to visit the National Palace Museum to learn more about Chinese history and traditional art. In particular, I want to see ancient jade carvings and imperial artifacts because they reveal craftsmanship and cultural stories.
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答明确但有小错误与冗余(例如“不必要的also”,“St. noise”拼写错误,应为 “street noise”)。建议:1) 去掉多余词,首句直接给出观点;2) 修正拼写并用具体细节支持观点;3) 控制在三到四句内以保持自然流畅。
Example: Yes, I would. Living in a tall building offers great views and more natural light, which lifts my mood. For example, being on a high floor can reduce street noise and increase privacy, making city life more comfortable.
× Yes, there are few tall apartment blocks and an office tower within walking distance of my home.
✓ Yes, there are a few tall apartment blocks and an office tower within walking distance of my home.
原句中使用了“are few”,在英语中“few”和“a few”含义不同:"few" 强调几乎没有,表示数量很少;而"a few" 表示有一些,强调存在一定数量。这里回答应该表示有一些公寓楼,所以应使用"a few"。建议在类似情境中用"a few"表示有若干,避免误传否定意义。 (Grammar problem type ID: 1)
× For example, a 20 Storey residential building was completed last year which has noticeably changed the skylight and provided more housing auctions in the area I lived.
✓ For example, a 20-storey residential building was completed last year, which has noticeably changed the skyline and provided more housing options in the area where I live.
原句存在多处问题: 1) "20 Storey" 应为小写连字符形式"20-storey"作为复合形容词修饰名词; 2) "skylight" 用错,应该是"skyline"(天际线); 3) "housing auctions" 用词不当,应为"housing options"(住房选择)更合适; 4) 时态/关系从句和地点短语不当,"in the area I lived"应为现在时的"in the area where I live"或过去时若指过去居住。根据上下文保持现在时更自然。建议注意复合形容词连字符、固定搭配词汇和关系从句时态一致。 (Grammar problem type ID: 22)
× However, I sometimes photograph famous landmarks like Tokyo Tower because of its unique design and historical significance.
✓ However, I sometimes photograph famous landmarks like Tokyo Tower because of their unique designs and historical significance.
原句将复数或泛指的"landmarks"与单数代词"its"搭配,造成代词与先行词不一致。应使用复数代词"their"并且"design"可用复数形式"designs"或保持单数视为整体亦可。建议保持代词与名词在数的一致性。 (Grammar problem type ID: 12)
× I'm really eager to visit a National Palace museum because I want to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese history and traditional art, and especially interested in seeing ancient artifacts such as jade jet carvings and ancient practices.
✓ I'm really eager to visit the National Palace Museum because I want to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese history and traditional art, and I'm especially interested in seeing ancient artifacts such as jade and jet carvings and ancient cultural relics.
问题包括: 1) 专有名词前的冠词选择:应为"the National Palace Museum"而非不定冠词; 2) "especially interested"缺少主语和动词,需补"I'm"; 3) 词汇搭配不准确:"jade jet carvings"表达混乱,应拆分为"jade and jet carvings"或更自然的说法;"ancient practices"含义模糊,改为"ancient cultural relics"或具体文物更恰当。建议注意冠词使用、句子完整性以及词语搭配准确性。 (Grammar problem type ID: 22)
× Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because it also offers great views and better natural light, which I find uplifting.
✓ Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because it also offers great views and better natural light, which I find uplifting.
该句本身语法正确,无需改动。仅需注意下一句中的缩写和标点。 (Grammar problem type ID: 22)
× For example, living on a high floor in a city apartment can reduce St. noise and provide a sense of privacy.
✓ For example, living on a high floor in a city apartment can reduce street noise and provide a sense of privacy.
原句中"St. noise"为缩写或打字错误,应为"street noise"(街道噪音)。这是句子结构/用词错误,修正为完整词汇以保证可理解性。建议写作时避免不明缩写并检查拼写。 (Grammar problem type ID: 26)
