Part 1
考官
Do you like reading?
考生
Yes, I like reading, but I don't read as often as I used to be. No, because work has been busy. A lot of things have been keeping me busy and I just can't find the time to do any reading.
考官
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
考生
I prefer reading on paper because I think it's easier to manage with a real book as like you can flip through the books whenever you want and you can refer back to the content page if you need to. Umm, it's just not that easy with you, uh, when you read it with a screen.
考官
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
考生
As I am a speech therapist, I will need to read the profile of my caseload whenever they are referred to me, so I will read through the background information. Umm the other fields of ex assessment report may be the ADHD report or SPLD report so I'll go.
考官
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
考生
Well, I do both. It depends on what I am reading and why I am reading. So when I go through the report I will scan for relevant information and when I get to the detail that I need I will go through them in details.
Do you like reading?
分数: 70.0建议: 回答要更直接、连贯并避免自相矛盾。该回答先说喜欢阅读,应接着说明原因并用一到两句具体细节支持,而不是重复否定自己。使用连接词(e.g., because, so, however)让表述更自然。同时控制在最多5句内。
示例: Yes, I enjoy reading because it helps me relax and learn new things. However, I don't read as much now because my job has become very busy, leaving me little free time. I usually manage to read short articles on weekends when I have a bit of spare time.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
分数: 78.0建议: 回答清晰表达偏好,但语言不够精炼,有口头语和重复。建议用一两句概括原因并举一两个具体比较(e.g., navigation, comfort, annotation),用连接词如 'because' 和 'for example',避免填充词。保持句子数在三句以内。
示例: I prefer reading on paper because it's easier to navigate and annotate; for example, I can quickly flip to the table of contents or jot notes in the margin. By contrast, reading on a screen feels less convenient for long texts and can cause eye strain.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
分数: 65.0建议: 回答包含关键信息但表述不够流畅且有语法错误与含糊处。建议先给主题句(when you need to read carefully),然后用一两句具体说明情境和原因,尽量避免缩写或不清晰的术语(解释缩写)。使用连接词如 'for example' 或 'such as' 来组织信息。
示例: I need to read very carefully when I receive a new referral, because I must understand each client's background and specific needs. For example, I carefully review assessment reports such as ADHD or specific learning difficulty (SLD) reports to plan appropriate therapy.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
分数: 75.0建议: 回答结构合理但有重复与小语法问题。建议先给直接回答,然后用一两个例子解释情境并用连接词如 'when'、'then' 使逻辑清楚。注意单复数和短语(go through details -> go through them in detail)。
示例: I use both scanning and detailed reading depending on my purpose. For instance, I scan reports first to find relevant sections, and then I read those parts in detail when I need specific information for therapy planning.
× Yes, I like reading, but I don't read as often as I used to be.
✓ Yes, I like reading, but I don't read as often as I used to.
原句中的 “used to be” 在表示过去常做某事时多余且不符合习惯用法。正确表达是 “used to” 表示过去常常做某事。建议记住固定结构 “used to + 动词原形” 来表示过去的习惯。
× No, because work has been busy.
✓ No, because work has been busy lately.
句子语法上可以,但信息不够完整,添加 “lately” 更符合上下文说明最近工作一直很忙。若要保持时态准确,可用现在完成进行时或现在完成时,原句已用现在完成时,建议加时间状语使更自然。
× A lot of things have been keeping me busy and I just can't find the time to do any reading.
✓ A lot of things have been keeping me busy, and I just can't find time to do any reading.
句子语法正确,但常见搭配为 “find time” 而非 “find the time” 或 “find the time to do any reading” 也可,但在口语中更简洁地用 “find time”。这里将逗号加入以改善句子结构。
× I prefer reading on paper because I think it's easier to manage with a real book as like you can flip through the books whenever you want and you can refer back to the content page if you need to.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because I think it's easier to manage with a real book — for example, you can flip through the book whenever you want and refer back to the contents page if you need to.
原句中出现了冗余短语 “as like”(不正确的口语填充)和复数/单数不一致(“books” 与上下文指单本书)。建议使用 “for example” 或 “like” 二选一,且单数形式 “book” 更符合语境;目录通常用复数形式 “contents page”。同时可以省略重复的助动词 “you can”。
× Umm, it's just not that easy with you, uh, when you read it with a screen.
✓ Umm, it's just not that easy when you read on a screen.
原句中 “with you” 是多余且不合逻辑的(暗示对方而非阅读介质),并且 “read it with a screen” 也不自然。更地道的表达是 “read on a screen”。建议去掉无意义的填词并使用固定搭配 “read on a screen”。
× As I am a speech therapist, I will need to read the profile of my caseload whenever they are referred to me, so I will read through the background information.
✓ As I am a speech therapist, I need to read the profiles of my caseload when they are referred to me, so I read through the background information.
句子时态和主谓一致存在问题:描述职业常态时应使用一般现在时(need, read),并且 “profile” 应与 “caseload” 的复数相匹配用 “profiles”。此外 “whenever they are referred to me” 用现在时更自然。建议使用一般现在时描述职业习惯,并注意单复数一致。
× Umm the other fields of ex assessment report may be the ADHD report or SPLD report so I'll go.
✓ Umm, the other parts of the assessment report may be the ADHD report or the SPLD report, so I'll look at those.
原句中 “fields of ex assessment report” 结构混乱且不自然,应使用 “parts of the assessment report” 或 “sections”。“so I'll go” 也不清楚其含义,改为 “so I'll look at those” 更明确。建议使用“part/section”表示报告的部分,并用明确动词表达动作。
× Well, I do both. It depends on what I am reading and why I am reading.
✓ Well, I do both. It depends on what I am reading and why.
第二句中重复使用 “I am reading” 显得冗余。省略第二个 “I am reading” 更简洁自然,同时时态保持为现在进行式以表示当前习惯或情境。
× So when I go through the report I will scan for relevant information and when I get to the detail that I need I will go through them in details.
✓ So when I go through the report I scan for relevant information, and when I get to the details I need I go through them in detail.
原句有代词和单复数不一致问题(“the detail” vs “the details”),以及 “in details” 是错误搭配,正确为 “in detail”。另外在描述习惯性动作时用一般现在时(scan, go through)更合适。建议注意单复数形式并掌握固定搭配 “in detail”。
