Part 1
Examiner
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Candidate
Yes, I always like looking outside the window to see the scenery along the road because I can see the changing scenery and have swaying moods to relax myself along the road.
Examiner
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Candidate
Yes, I really like photography and I think it's important to capture the scenery you see on the road because it's really precious and I need to cherish the memory. So I always take pictures to capture what I see as a record and as a souvenir.
Examiner
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Candidate
I prefer to see, first of all, I think the view you can have beside the sea is more broad and I really like the waves and the bubbles are in the sea all over. I think, umm, when you're going to a sea and the sunset there is really magnificent and breathtaking.
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答有直接回应问题,但语言有些重复且表达不够自然。建议在主题句后用一到两句具体细节支持,例如描述看到的景物、频率或心情变化,并用连接词让句子更流畅。注意去掉重复短语(如“along the road”多次出现),把“swaying moods”改为更地道的表达如“feel relaxed”或“lift my mood”。
Example: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus or car. I enjoy watching changing landscapes—fields, small towns and occasional mountains—which helps me relax and lift my mood during the journey.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答清楚且有原因,但有些重复(capture/capture、precious/cherish memory)且句子较冗长。建议先给出简洁的主题句,再用一到两句具体例子(例如拍摄的对象、使用的设备或拍照的频率),并用连接词使表达更紧凑自然。
Example: Yes, I often take photos of the scenery because I love photography and want to keep memories. For example, I usually photograph interesting buildings, sunsets or roadside villages with my phone so I can look back at the trip later.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答有观点但表达不够连贯,存在词汇使用不当(如“bubbles are in the sea all over”)和填充词(umm)。建议先直接表明偏好,然后给出两到三个具体理由(视野、声音、日落),并用连接词如“because”或“for example”来组织信息。改进用词,替换不自然的短语为地道表达(e.g. “the view is more expansive”, “the sound of the waves”)。
Example: I prefer the sea because the view is more expansive and I love the sound of the waves. For example, watching the sunset over the ocean feels peaceful and often creates a spectacular sky.
× Yes, I always like looking outside the window to see the scenery along the road because I can see the changing scenery and have swaying moods to relax myself along the road.
✓ Yes, I always like looking out of the window to see the scenery along the road because I can see the changing views and feel relaxed along the way.
错误类型:动词后接 -ing 形式/短语选择。解释:原句中“looking outside the window”可更地道地表达为“looking out of the window”;“have swaying moods to relax myself”结构不自然,‘have ... moods’和动词搭配及意义不当,改为“feel relaxed”既自然又符合句意。建议:多使用固定短语(例如“look out of the window”,“feel relaxed”),避免直译式的搭配。
× Yes, I really like photography and I think it's important to capture the scenery you see on the road because it's really precious and I need to cherish the memory.
✓ Yes, I really like photography and I think it's important to capture the scenery you see on the road because it's precious and I need to cherish the memories.
错误类型:介词/名词复数使用。解释:原句中“it's really precious and I need to cherish the memory”语义上更自然应为复数“memories”,表示多次看到的景色留下的回忆;“really precious”可简化为“precious”。建议:注意可数名词的单复数以及避免冗余的副词。
× So I always take pictures to capture what I see as a record and as a souvenir.
✓ So I always take pictures to record what I see and keep them as souvenirs.
错误类型:句子结构不自然。解释:原句“to capture what I see as a record and as a souvenir”结构重复且不够简洁,改为“to record what I see and keep them as souvenirs”更清晰,保持动词并列和代词一致(pictures → them)。建议:确保并列结构中的名词代词一致,避免冗长重复表达。
× I prefer to see, first of all, I think the view you can have beside the sea is more broad and I really like the waves and the bubbles are in the sea all over.
✓ I prefer the sea. First of all, I think the view by the sea is more expansive, and I really like the waves and the bubbles in the water.
错误类型:句子结构和词汇搭配错误。解释:原句混乱(“I prefer to see”不完整),且“more broad”用词不当,应为“more expansive”或“broader”;“the bubbles are in the sea all over”语序与表达不自然,改为“the bubbles in the water”。建议:注意句子完整性,使用合适形容词(broad → broad/broader/expansive),简化从句以增强流畅性。
× I think, umm, when you're going to a sea and the sunset there is really magnificent and breathtaking.
✓ I think, umm, when you go to the sea, the sunset there is really magnificent and breathtaking.
错误类型:时态/动词形式错误。解释:原句中“when you're going to a sea”用法不当,表示一般情况时应使用一般现在时“when you go to the sea”;同时“a sea”不如“the sea”自然。建议:表示普遍事实或习惯动作时,用一般现在时,并注意冠词搭配。
