图书馆— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is clear, relevant and well-structured with a topic sentence and supporting detail. To improve, make it slightly more concise and add a linking phrase to connect reason and result, and vary vocabulary (e.g., replace “helps me improve” with a stronger verb). Also avoid repeating ‘English’ twice if unnecessary.

範例: I usually go to the library at weekends since I'm at school on weekdays and often have extra lessons. Typically I spend two to three hours there reading novels and reference books, which significantly improves my language skills and my academic writing.

建議: Good direct answer with relevant specific examples. To reach a higher band, add a linking word to show contrast or sequence (for example, “in addition” or “besides”), and vary verbs (e.g., “review” or “summarize”) to show a wider range of vocabulary.

範例: I usually read and take notes in the library. For instance, I read psychology books to understand human behavior, and in addition I study English grammar and expand my vocabulary by making and reviewing word lists while reading novels.

建議: The answer is honest and coherent with a clear reason. Improve by adding a brief reflective comment about change or consequence and use a linking word (e.g., “however” or “since then”) to make it more engaging. Avoid subjective phrases like “really boring”—use milder language such as “less interesting to me then.”

範例: No, I didn't visit the library much as a child because I preferred playing outside and reading seemed less interesting to me then. However, I later developed better reading habits, which changed my attitude.

建議: Good balanced answer with a general statement and a specific reason and example. To improve, add a linking phrase (“for example” is fine) and include a brief comparative or consequence phrase (e.g., how this affects habits) to deepen the response and demonstrate wider vocabulary and coherence.

範例: I think it varies by family, but many Chinese children visit libraries less often because they spend much time on phones and online study apps. For example, many students use digital platforms to read and study, which means fewer of them borrow physical books.

× I usually spend 2 to 3 hours reading English books and novels, which helps me improve my language skills and writing.

✓ I usually spend 2 to 3 hours reading English books and novels, which helps me improve my language skills and my writing.

Missing possessive determiner before 'writing' makes the noun phrase less clear. Add 'my' to parallel 'my language skills' and 'my writing'. This is an article/determiner usage issue related to completeness of noun phrases; it fits best under ensuring correct noun phrase form and is corrected by adding the possessive determiner.

× I usually read and take notes in the library.

✓ I usually read and take notes in the library.

No grammatical error. Present simple 'usually' + verbs 'read' and 'take' is correct for habitual actions. Included to show no change needed.

× For example, I often read psychology books to learn about human behavior, and I also study English grammar and vocabulary by reading novels and making vocabulary lists.

✓ For example, I often read psychology books to learn about human behavior, and I also study English grammar and vocabulary by reading novels and making vocabulary lists.

No grammatical error. The sentence correctly uses present simple for habitual actions and parallel gerund phrases 'reading' and 'making'. Included to show no change needed.

× No, I didn't go to the library much when I was a child because I preferred playing outside and found reading really boring.

✓ No, I didn't go to the library much when I was a child because I preferred playing outside and found reading really boring.

No grammatical error. Past simple verbs 'didn't go', 'preferred', and 'found' correctly describe past habits and states. Included to show no change needed.

× I also hadn't developed good reading habits at that age.

✓ I also hadn't developed good reading habits at that age.

No grammatical error. Past perfect 'hadn't developed' correctly indicates an action not completed before a past reference. Included to show no change needed.

× I think it depends on the child, but many Chinese kids don't visit libraries often because they spend a lot of time on phones and online resources.

✓ I think it depends on the child, but many Chinese kids don't visit libraries often because they spend a lot of time on their phones and on online resources.

Add possessive 'their' before 'phones' for clarity and naturalness, and include 'on' before 'online resources' to parallel the preposition and improve fluency. This is an incorrect use of prepositions/possessive determiners; corrected to 'their phones' and 'on online resources'.

× For instance, students often use apps for studying and reading instead of borrowing physical books.

✓ For instance, students often use apps to study and read instead of borrowing physical books.

Use infinitives 'to study and read' instead of the gerund 'for studying and reading' to sound more natural in this context. Both forms can be grammatical, but 'use apps to study and read' is more idiomatic when describing purpose. This falls under preposition/verb pattern choice and is corrected for natural usage.
