Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Thí sinh
I don't think learning a new language is very difficult if you practice regularly. I use active methods such as shadowing, speaking with native speakers, and reading a lot for about 30 minutes every day, which quickly improves my pronunciation and overall fluency because it trains my listening and speaking skills.

Will you learn other languages in the future?
Thí sinh
I might learn another language in the future because I plan to travel around the world. For example, I'm thinking of picking up Spanish to communicate with locals and make my travels easier. I'd probably start facing the next few years and take evening classes or join online language exchanges to become conversational.

× I can speak 2 languages, Chinese and English.
✓ I can speak two languages: Chinese and English.
数字“2”在正式书面或口语中通常写为单词“two”;此外在英文中列举项前用冒号更清晰。这里不是严格的单复数错误,但按题目要求归入“Singular and plural issue”(单复数/数字表达)类别,建议用单词形式并加标点以提高准确性和可读性。
× I'm quite proficient in English and use it regularly in work meetings and at university for tasks like presenting reports and participating in seminars, although sometimes I need a little extra time to find the right words.
✓ I'm quite proficient in English and use it regularly in work meetings and at university for tasks like presenting reports and participating in seminars, although sometimes I need a little extra time to find the right words.
句子语法正确,时态使用恰当。此处保持原句。无需修改。
× I don't think learning a new language is very difficult if you practice regularly.
✓ I don't think learning a new language is very difficult if you practice regularly.
句子语法和时态正确(一般现在时用于习惯/普遍事实)。无需修改。
× I use active methods such as shadowing, speaking with native speakers, and reading a lot for about 30 minutes every day, which quickly improves my pronunciation and overall fluency because it trains my listening and speaking skills.
✓ I use active methods such as shadowing, speaking with native speakers, and reading for about 30 minutes every day, which quickly improves my pronunciation and overall fluency because it trains my listening and speaking skills.
原句中“reading a lot for about 30 minutes every day”有些冗余,建议删去“a lot”以使时间表达清晰且符合语法习惯。问题类型归入“Verb + -ing form”(动词+ing形式)的原因是句中多处动名词并列,应保持形式一致并避免副词放置不当。建议简化为“reading for about 30 minutes every day”。
× I might learn another language in the future because I plan to travel around the world.
✓ I might learn another language in the future because I plan to travel around the world.
句子使用“might”和“plan to”搭配表达将来可能性与计划,语法正确,无需修改。
× For example, I'm thinking of picking up Spanish to communicate with locals and make my travels easier.
✓ For example, I'm thinking of picking up Spanish to communicate with locals and to make my travels easier.
原句中的并列动词“communicate with locals and make my travels easier”在结构上可理解,但在正式表达中建议在第二个不定式前加“to”以保持平行结构(to communicate ... and to make ...)。因此归类为“Verb in the present participle form”(现在分词/不定式结构一致性)并建议补“to”。
× I'd probably start facing the next few years and take evening classes or join online language exchanges to become conversational.
✓ I'd probably spend the next few years taking evening classes or joining online language exchanges to become conversational.
原句中“start facing the next few years”表达不自然且语义模糊,应改为“spend the next few years taking...”以正确表达在未来一段时间内持续进行某事。该问题归入“Future tense issue”(时态/表达将来持续性问题)。建议使用“spend ... taking/ joining”结构。
× I study English to communicate with people around the world and broaden my professional network.
✓ I study English to communicate with people around the world and to broaden my professional network.
并列不定式时在第二项前加“to”更符合正式写法并保证结构平行,虽非严重错误,但归入“Present tense issue”(时态/结构一致性)并建议补“to”。
× It also helps me perform better at work.
✓ It also helps me perform better at work.
句子语法正确,时态使用得当,无需修改。
× I often use English in meetings and when dealing with international clients, which makes my job more efficient and opens up opportunities for promotion.
✓ I often use English in meetings and when dealing with international clients, which makes my job more efficient and opens up opportunities for promotion.
