Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at giving gifts?
Candidate
Yes, I suppose so. When my parents or my best friend's birthdays are coming, I usually buy their gifts a month or two in advance so I have time to choose something thoughtful and avoid the last minute rush.
Examiner
When do you usually give gifts to others?
Candidate
I usually give gifts on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. For example, I often buy a thoughtful present for close friends to show appreciation and to celebrate their milestones.
Examiner
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
Candidate
To be honest, I usually take the price and the quality into account, and I also think about how useful the gift will be for the person. For example, if it's for a student, I might choose something practical like a planner rather than something decorative.
Examiner
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
Candidate
Yes sure, when I was younger in my primary school I made a handmade like the decorations and sent it to my best friend.
Examiner
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
Candidate
It depends on the situation. For special or formal occasions such as a waiting or a graduation and might buy a more expensive gift if my budget allows because I want to show how much I care. For casual events I prefer thoughtful about cheaper presents.
Are you good at giving gifts?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答比较自然且信息明确,但有两点可改进:1) 回答开头可以更直接的主题句(例如 I am quite good at choosing gifts),避免模糊短语如 I suppose so;2) 可以加一两句具体例子或说明如何选择“thoughtful”的细节,以增加内容的具体性和词汇多样性。
Example: I am quite good at giving gifts. For my parents or best friends I usually buy presents a month or two in advance so I can think carefully about what they need. For example, last year I chose a personalized photo album for my mother because she loves family memories.
When do you usually give gifts to others?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: 结构清晰且直接回答了问题,使用了举例来丰富内容。可改进处:1) 用连接词使句子更连贯(例如 Also, Besides that);2) 增加更具体的细节或对比(例如有时也会在没有特殊场合时送礼物表达关心),以显示更复杂的表达。
Example: I usually give gifts on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. Besides that, I sometimes give small presents just to cheer up a friend. For example, I once gave a friend a coffee voucher when she was stressed during exams.
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
Score: 90.0Suggestion: 回答具体且有例子,逻辑清晰。改进建议:1) 避免口语化开头如 To be honest(可用直接主题句);2) 使用更多连接词(for instance, moreover)和更丰富的词汇来展示语言范围。
Example: I consider price, quality and how useful the gift will be for the recipient. For instance, if the person is a student I usually pick something practical like a planner or noise-cancelling headphones rather than decorative items.
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答简短且含有语法和表达问题:1) 语法错误和不自然表达(例如 'made a handmade like the decorations' 不准确);2) 应该用更完整的句子并补充细节(什么时候、做了什么、对方反应如何)以增加具体性。
Example: Yes, I have. When I was in primary school I made handmade decorations and gave them to my best friend. She loved the little paper flowers I made, and she still keeps them as a memento.
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 内容有观点但表达混乱且有语法错误:1) 句子结构不完整(例如 'such as a waiting or a graduation' 不明确);2) 用词不当('prefer thoughtful about cheaper presents'),需要重组句子并加入连接词,提供清晰的对比和具体例子。
Example: It depends on the situation. For formal occasions like graduations I might buy a more expensive gift if my budget allows because I want to show appreciation. For casual events I prefer thoughtful but inexpensive presents, such as a handwritten card or a small homemade item.

✓ When my parents' or my best friend's birthdays are coming, I usually buy their gifts a month or two in advance so I have time to choose something thoughtful and avoid the last-minute rush.
错误类型:定语结构和连字符及所有格使用不当。说明:应使用所有格 parents' 来表示“我父母的生日”。“last minute”作复合形容词修饰“rush”时应连字符为“last-minute”。建议:遇到表示所属关系使用所有格(加 ’s 或者复数名词加 ’),复合形容词用连字符连接。
× For example, I often buy a thoughtful present for close friends to show appreciation and to celebrate their milestones.
✓ For example, I often buy thoughtful presents for close friends to show appreciation and celebrate their milestones.
错误类型:冠词和数的一致性以及并列结构冗余。说明:原句中“a thoughtful present”与“close friends”数不一致,且在并列动词短语中不需要重复不定式“to”。建议:名词与指代对象数要一致(复数匹配复数),并列动词短语可简化为“to show... and celebrate...”或直接用两个动词。
× To be honest, I usually take the price and the quality into account, and I also think about how useful the gift will be for the person.
✓ To be honest, I usually take the price and quality into account, and I also think about how useful the gift will be for the person.
错误类型:冠词冗余/词序问题。说明:在“price and quality”中不需要在“quality”前重复定冠词“the”。建议:在列举并列名词时,若同属一个范畴,可省略重复冠词,使表达更自然。
× Yes sure, when I was younger in my primary school I made a handmade like the decorations and sent it to my best friend.
✓ Yes, sure. When I was younger in primary school I made a handmade decoration and sent it to my best friend.
错误类型:句子结构与词类使用错误。说明:短语“made a handmade like the decorations”结构混乱,‘handmade’是形容词应与名词连用,如“handmade decoration”。“in my primary school”通常说“in primary school”。建议:将形容词与名词搭配正确,调整短句分为两句以提高清晰度。

✓ It depends on the situation. For special or formal occasions such as a wedding or a graduation, I might buy a more expensive gift if my budget allows because I want to show how much I care.
错误类型:词汇选择与句子结构错误(介词与名词拼写及主语缺失)。说明:原句中“a waiting”拼写错误,应为“a wedding”。此外主句在“and might buy”处缺少主语“I”。建议:注意单词拼写并确保每个从句有明确主语和谓语。
× For casual events I prefer thoughtful about cheaper presents.
✓ For casual events I prefer thoughtful, cheaper presents.
错误类型:形容词使用与句子结构错误。说明:“prefer thoughtful about cheaper presents”结构不正确,应把“thoughtful”和“cheaper”作为并列形容词修饰“presents”,或改为“I prefer cheaper, more thoughtful presents.”建议:形容词修饰名词时排列合理,可使用比较级短语如“more thoughtful”以表达程度。
