Part 1
Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
Actually, I'm not a natural at memorizing, so I usually read the review material many times, make concise notes, and practice by testing myself, which helps me retain information more effectively.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, I will never forget that day. Once I traveled to the UK I forgot my phone on a bus. I guess it's because the phone slipped from my hand while I was sleeping and I was so rushed to get off the bus.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
I think the most important thing for me to remember is my ID card or other identification because I often spend ages looking for it when I need to catch a plan or a train. For example, while traveling last month, I almost missed my boarding time because I couldn't find my ID card.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
It's quite simple. What I usually do is write it down and set an alarm. For example, the reminder app on our phones is super convenient and includes both features, so I just need to set a reminder.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答整体自然且有具体方法,但句子较长且略显冗余。可把主旨句和支持句分开,并用连词简化结构,控制在最多5句内。同时用更恰当的词汇替换重复表达(如“memorising”“retain”),并给出一两个简短具体例子。
Example: I'm not naturally good at memorising. To improve, I read review materials several times and make concise notes. Then I test myself with flashcards or quizzes to check what I remember. This routine helps me retain information more effectively.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 叙述清晰且有细节,但时态和表达可以更准确,且句子稍显零散。开头可以用一句主题句概括,然后用过去时态描述事件经过并解释原因,最后简要说明结果或感受以增强完整性。
Example: Yes, I once forgot something important while travelling in the UK. I fell asleep on a bus and my phone slipped from my hand, so I didn't notice until I got off. I panicked because I had important contacts on it, and I had to contact the bus company to try to retrieve it.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答具体且有例子,表达清楚。但有拼写和用词小错(plan应为 plane),句子可以更简洁有力。可以先给出结论,再用简洁连接词补充例子和结果,体现逻辑性。
Example: I always need to remember my ID card or passport. For example, last month I almost missed my flight because I couldn't find my ID quickly. Since then I keep my documents in a dedicated travel wallet to avoid that problem.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: 回答简洁且实用,语言自然。但可稍微丰富细节并使用连接词使结构更清晰,例如说明具体场景或偏好的方法,并避免重复同一信息。保持句子在五句以内。
Example: I usually write things down and set alarms to remember important tasks. For instance, I use my phone's reminder app to add notes and schedule alerts before appointments. This combination ensures I don't forget deadlines or travel times.
× Once I traveled to the UK I forgot my phone on a bus.
✓ Once I traveled to the UK, I left my phone on a bus.
原句中使用“forgot my phone on a bus”会被理解为“把手机忘记(在脑中)”,但实际上是想表达“把手机留在公交车上/丢在公交车上”。更自然的表达是用“left my phone on a bus”。另外在“UK”和从句之间应加逗号以分隔时间状语从句。建议:将“forgot”替换为“left”或“left behind”,并在句子中添加必要的标点。
× I guess it's because the phone slipped from my hand while I was sleeping and I was so rushed to get off the bus.
✓ I guess it was because the phone slipped from my hand while I was sleeping and I was in such a rush to get off the bus.
句子中时间点为过去(travelled/forgot/was sleeping),与之呼应应使用过去时态。原句中“It’s because”用现在时与上下文时态不一致;此外“I was so rushed to get off the bus”搭配不自然,正确说法为“I was in such a rush to get off the bus”。建议:把“it's”改为“it was”,并使用固定搭配“in a rush”或“in such a rush”。
× I often spend ages looking for it when I need to catch a plan or a train.
✓ I often spend ages looking for it when I need to catch a plane or a train.
单词“plan”拼写错误,应为“plane”(飞机);此处并非量词错误但属于词汇拼写错误,按题目范围归为量/词使用问题。建议:注意常见单词拼写,尤其与上下文相关的旅行词汇,如“plane”。
× I think the most important thing for me to remember is my ID card or other identification because I often spend ages looking for it when I need to catch a plan or a train.
✓ I think the most important thing for me to remember is my ID card or other identification, because I often spend ages looking for it when I need to catch a plane or train.
在列举交通工具时,英语中通常说“catch a plane or train”可省略第二个不定冠词;此外句中缺少逗号来分隔原因状语从句使句子更易理解。建议:在列举可并列名词时,去掉多余的冠词并用逗号分隔主句与原因从句。
× What I usually do is write it down and set an alarm.
✓ What I usually do is write it down and set an alarm.
