Describe a time you changed your opinion

Band 6

I would like to talk about a time when I changed my opinion about a classmate called Mwila. I am時態錯誤：應為「was」 in my second year at the university in Lusaka, in Zambia, and Mwila was in my department, so we had many lessons together. Before that, I thought he was very proud基本形容詞，限制了Lexical Resource的分數 because he never talked to anybody and he always sat alone at the back. I, er自然的停頓，填充詞不顯眼, never tried to speak to him, and I told my friends he think時態錯誤：應為「thought」 he was better than us. Then in March our lecturer put us in a pair for a presentation, and I was not happy about it. In the first meeting he didn’t said詞形錯誤：應為「didn’t say」 much, but he brought notes that were very clear and he explain時態錯誤：應為「explained」 the difficult parts to me. He stayed in the library until late with me to practise the slides. Then I understood that he was not proud, he was just very shy基本形容詞，限制了Lexical Resource的分數 and he did not know how to start a conversation. So I changed my mind, because I saw his behaviour and not only my first idea. I felt embarrassed because I judged him too fast, you know當作停頓使用的填充詞, and also happy because I found a good friend. Now we is主詞動詞不一致：應為「are」 close friends and we study together every week. Now I try to wait before I decide about people, because Mwila showed me that the first idea can be wrong. He is also very funny when you know him.

Band 7

I’d like to talk about a time when I changed my opinion about a classmate called Mwila. I was in my second year at the university in Lusaka, in Zambia, and Mwila was in my department, so we shared several lessons. At first I thought he was stuck-up口語但精準的用詞，形容自視甚高的人, because he never talked to anybody and always sat alone at the back. I never tried to speak to him, and I told my friends he think時態錯誤：應為「he thought」 he was better than the rest of us. Then in March our lecturer put us in a pair for a presentation, and I wasn’t thrilled. In our first meeting he said very little, but he’d brought notes that were really clear, and he patiently explained the parts I hadn’t understood在關係子句中準確使用過去完成式. He even stayed in the library until late to practise the slides with me. That’s when I realised he wasn’t proud at all, he was simply very reserved聽起來自然的自我修正 and had no idea how to start a conversation. So I had a change of heart表示改變看法的慣用語, because I’d seen his behaviour with my own eyes. I felt embarrassed of介系詞錯誤：應為「embarrassed about」 judging him so quickly, but also glad that I’d made a good friend. We’re close now, and we study together every week. I try to wait before deciding anything about someone these days, because Mwila showed me how wrong a first idea can be. He’s also hilarious once you know him.

Band 8

I’d like to talk about a time when I changed my opinion about a classmate called Mwila. I was in my second year at the university in Lusaka, in Zambia, and Mwila was in my department, where we shared most of our lectures. At first I took him for an arrogant person, since he never spoke to anyone and always sat alone at the back, and rather than make an effort to talk to him, I told my friends that he thought he was better than the rest of us對比結構，間接引述使用準確. Then in March our lecturer paired us for a presentation, which I wasn’t looking forward to. In our first meeting he said very little, but he’d prepared notes that were remarkably clear, and he patiently went over everything I hadn’t grasped. He even stayed in the library until late to rehearse the slides with me. That was when it dawned on me自然的話語標記，表示恍然大悟的一刻 that he wasn’t arrogant at all, merely reserved用字精準, and simply had no idea how to start a conversation. I had to eat my words表示承認錯誤的慣用語 in front of my friends. I felt embarrassed that I’d jumped to conclusions精準的慣用語，表示太快下判斷, but mostly glad, because I’d gained a good friend. We study together every week now, and he has turned out to be remarkably funny once you know him. These days I try to hold back from judging people until I’ve seen how they act準確使用動名詞與從屬子句.
