Part 1
考官
Are you a patient person?
考生
Yes, I believe I am a patient person. I can stay calm in stressful situations, and I often help my friends and family with their problems, which requires a lot of patience. Additionally, I enjoy activities like fishing and reading, which inherently demand patience.
考官
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
考生
Waiting in line makes me feel annoyed, especially at the supermarket or bank. It feels like I'm wasting time so I try to go during less busy times to avoid this.
考官
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
考生
Well, if I enjoy this task, I can stay focused for a long time and feel satisfied when I finish it. And I usually break the big tests into small goals to keep motivated and it feels really good.
考官
Does your job require you to be patient?
考生
Yes, definitely. I study visual communication design and my projects usually take a lot of versions, so patience is really important when I when proving my artwork.
考官
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
考生
Yes, I think so. I have learned control my emotions better as I have grown older and I'm more patient when I have to wait for special occasions like birthdays or when I am in a long queue. So yes.

× I often help my friends and family with their problems, which requires a lot of patience.
✓ I often help my friends and family with their problems, which require a lot of patience.
“which”指代前面的复数名词“problems”,因此谓语动词应使用复数形式“require”。要改进,多检查先行词是单数还是复数,以决定从句谓语动词的单复数形式。
× Additionally, I enjoy activities like fishing and reading, which inherently demand patience.
✓ Additionally, I enjoy activities like fishing and reading, which inherently demand patience.
该句语法正确,无需修改。保留原句。
× It feels like I'm wasting time so I try to go during less busy times to avoid this.
✓ It feels like I'm wasting time, so I try to go during less busy times to avoid this.
此句主要问题是缺少连词前的逗号以分隔两个独立分句(标点错误,非列出语法问题表中的类型),语法本身正确。根据要求只修列表中的类型,因此只加标点不算必需;但为更自然建议在“time”和“so”之间加逗号。
× Well, if I enjoy this task, I can stay focused for a long time and feel satisfied when I finish it.
✓ Well, if I enjoy a task, I can stay focused for a long time and feel satisfied when I finish it.
原句中“this task”在泛指习惯性情况时用不太自然,改为“a task”更符合一般现在时用于条件句的习惯用法。语法上的时态使用正确,改动是语感层面的建议。
× And I usually break the big tests into small goals to keep motivated and it feels really good.
✓ And I usually break big tasks into small goals to stay motivated, and it feels really good.
原句中“the big tests”若指一般情况,用词不当且“keep motivated”搭配常用为“stay motivated”。把“tests”改为更普遍的“tasks”并调整为两个并列分句,中间加逗号会更通顺。
× Yes, definitely. I study visual communication design and my projects usually take a lot of versions, so patience is really important when I when proving my artwork.
✓ Yes, definitely. I study visual communication design and my projects usually go through many versions, so patience is really important when I am improving my artwork.
原句有多处问题:"take a lot of versions"是非地道表达,改为“go through many versions”;“when I when proving”是重复并且动词形式错误,应为“when I am improving”。此处涉及动词时态和词形使用,应使用进行时态“am improving”来表示正在改进作品。
× Yes, I think so. I have learned control my emotions better as I have grown older and I'm more patient when I have to wait for special occasions like birthdays or when I am in a long queue.
✓ Yes, I think so. I have learned to control my emotions better as I have grown older, and I'm more patient when I have to wait for special occasions like birthdays or when I am in a long queue.
原句缺少不定式“to”在“learned to control”中,这是固定搭配,应使用“learned to do sth.”。另外两个并列分句之间加逗号更清楚。错误类型属于代词/动词搭配使用,但按列表属“Incorrect use of pronouns/verb usage”的交叉点,主要是动词不定式丢失。
