What is your favourite food?
Điểm: 76.0Gợi ý: 回答较自然但有冗余与语法小错误。要直接开门见山,然后用一到两句支持细节,避免重复“dark chocolate”多次。注意冠词用法(‘the chocolate’应为‘chocolate’或‘dark chocolate’)和更地道的表达(例如‘love it for its balance of sweetness and bitterness’)。
Ví dụ: I love dark chocolate because it combines sweetness and a pleasant bitterness. For example, I often choose dark chocolate with 70% cocoa since it tastes richer and less sugary than milk chocolate.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 回答内容清楚但表达有些重复(两次用‘I loved’),句子可以更简练并增加具体细节或例子来丰富内容。注意词汇搭配,例如‘cream cakes’可以改为‘layers of cream cake’或更常见的‘cream cakes’→‘cream-filled cakes’,不要列举过多类似项目。
Ví dụ: As a child I loved sweet desserts, especially pancakes with syrup and cream-filled cakes. I remember my grandmother often made pancakes on Sundays, which felt comforting and became a favourite treat.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Điểm: 80.0Gợi ý: 回答逻辑清晰并提供了例子,但可改进句子衔接和用词自然度。第一句可更直接(例如‘I don’t really’),第二句中‘instead of seasons’不太自然,建议说‘regardless of the season’。还可把情绪与饮食的关系展开为一两句细节。
Ví dụ: I don’t really change my diet much with the seasons because greenhouse technology makes most fruits and vegetables available year-round. However, my choices do depend on my mood—for instance, I tend to reach for sweet snacks when I’m stressed.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 回答信息重复(与之前问题内容高度重合),句子略笨拙。应直接回答并给出具体变化或维持原因的简短支持句。避免陈述冗余,并替换不自然表达(例如‘Whether in my childhood or not’)。
Ví dụ: Not really — I’ve always preferred sweet desserts like cookies and pancakes. The main reason is emotional: sweet foods cheer me up when I’m stressed, so I still choose them now.
× My favorite food is the chocolate, especially the dark chocolate because I think that the dark chocolate is the combination of sweetness and bitterness, so I love it very much.
✓ My favorite food is chocolate, especially dark chocolate, because I think dark chocolate is a combination of sweetness and bitterness, so I love it very much.
句中多次使用定冠词“the”是不必要或错误的。不可数名词“chocolate”在泛指时不加冠词;当谈论类别(dark chocolate)时一般也不加“the”。此外“is the combination”改为“is a combination”更自然,表示“既有甜又有苦的混合”。建议:泛指物质或食物时省略冠词;表示某事物的一种特性用 a combination。
× When I was a kid, I loved the desserts very much, such as the cream cakes, the pancakes, or the cookies.
✓ When I was a kid, I loved desserts very much, such as cream cakes, pancakes, or cookies.
名词前不需要定冠词“the”来泛指一类事物;此处“desserts/cream cakes/pancakes/cookies”应为复数或不可数泛指形式且不用“the”。建议:列举一般类别时去掉定冠词。
× Thanks to the greenhouse technology, I can eat most fruits and vegetables all year round instead of seasons.
✓ Thanks to greenhouse technology, I can eat most fruits and vegetables all year round instead of only in certain seasons.
原句“instead of seasons”搭配不当,意思不明确。应补充“only in certain seasons”来表达“不是只在某些季节才能吃到”。此外“the greenhouse technology”中冠词可省略为“greenhouse technology”。建议:使用更自然的固定搭配,如“all year round”后说明对比对象用“instead of only in certain seasons”。
× Not really. Whether in my childhood or not, I constantly loved the desserts such as the cream cakes, the pancakes or the cookies.
✓ Not really. Whether in my childhood or now, I have always loved desserts such as cream cakes, pancakes, or cookies.
原句时态和词序不自然。“constantly loved”不常用于表达从过去到现在一直喜欢,应该用现在完成时“have always loved”。“Whether in my childhood or not”结构不通顺,改为“Whether in my childhood or now”更明确。并去掉不必要的定冠词。建议:表达从过去持续到现在用现在完成时的“have always + 过去分词”;列举类别时去掉“the”。
× And when I am stressed, I usually eat something sweet because it makes me feel happier.
✓ And when I'm stressed, I usually eat something sweet because it makes me feel happier.
句子语法本身基本正确。仅建议将“I am”缩写为“I'm”以更符合口语考试的自然表达,但不是必须修改。说明:时态为一般现在时,表述习惯性动作,使用“usually”与现在时一致。
