Task Overview
Reading Passage
Procedural Memory The memories people form when they learn names and facts are different from the memories they form when they learn how to perform a task.These memories of performing particular actions are called procedural memories. Procedural memories are memories of the process of performing a task that become automatic with practice. Once a task has been practiced, or repeated many times, procedural memories are established.These procedural memories allow people to perform the action automatically and to recall it relatively easily many years later.

3.Delivery The speaker's delivery could use some improvement. The speech is not very fluid and has occasional pauses, which disrupt the flow of the response. Additionally, there are some pronunciation issues that lead to spelling errors in the text. To improve, the speaker should practice speaking more fluidly and work on their pronunciation to avoid confusion.
4.Topic Development The topic development aspect of the response is relatively strong. The speaker provides a coherent and well-organized response, with clear connections between ideas and sufficient support or examples from the lecture. However, there are some inaccuracies in the content, such as referring to "prehistoric memory" instead of "procedural memory." To improve, the speaker should focus on using accurate terminology and further elaborating on the connection between the professor's guitar-playing experience and the concept of procedural memory.
5.Language UseOriginal: Prehistoric memory Procedural memory ("Prehistoric memory" is incorrect; the correct term is "procedural memory") is memory of performing actions. The professor took guitar lessons when he was young, and the teacher taught him how to hold the guitar and play fingers on strings place his fingers on the strings ("play fingers on strings" is unclear; use "place his fingers on the strings" instead). The professor played for hours and repeated playing until he could play guitar without thinking. But once he entered into the college, he hadn't played for years, but once he picked up the guitar, he still knew how to play guitar, and he could easily know how to play fingers when he touched the guitar, and played his favorite songs using the guitar. So it's his alternative with practice before, when he gets a guitarist.
Revised Answer (140 words):
Procedural memory refers to the memory of performing actions. When the professor was young, he took guitar lessons where his teacher taught him how to hold the guitar and place his fingers on the strings. He practiced for hours every day, eventually being able to play without conscious thought. However, after entering college, he stopped playing for several years. Surprisingly, when he picked up a guitar again, he found that he still knew how to play and could effortlessly position his fingers on the strings to produce music. This demonstrates that through consistent practice in his youth, the professor had formed strong procedural memories that allowed him to recall and perform complex actions even after a long period of inactivity. This example illustrates the concept of procedural memory as it pertains to learning and retaining skills through practice.

5.语言使用Original Answer: The reading passage talks about procedural memories, which means the memories of process of performing a task, that have become automatic with practice. The reading passage discusses procedural memories, which are the memories formed during the process of performing a task and become automatic with practice.(将原句中的"talks about"改为更正式的"discusses",并调整句子结构以使其更自然。)
For example, when the professor was a boy, he learned how to play guitar. In the first lesson, he learned how to hold a guitar and how to place his finger on the strings. And every day after class, he practiced for several hours. Several years later, the professor was able to pick up the guitar and play the songs without thinking. But when the professor goes to the university, he stops playing guitar for years. However, the other day, the professor found his old guitar. He was surprised to find that he still knew how to play the guitar and how to move his finger. Although the professor cannot explain how he can do that, he can still play his favorite song. Therefore, this is a good example of procedural memory.
Revised Answer (140 words):
The reading passage discusses procedural memories, which are the memories formed during the process of performing a task and become automatic with practice. For instance, when the professor was young, he learned to play the guitar. During his initial lessons, he acquired knowledge on holding the guitar and positioning his fingers on its strings. He diligently practiced for hours every day after class. As a result, after several years, he could effortlessly pick up his guitar and play songs without conscious thought. However, upon attending university, he ceased playing for an extended period. Surprisingly, when he recently discovered his old guitar, he realized that he still retained the ability to play and maneuver his fingers. Although the professor cannot articulate the precise mechanics behind this skill, he can still perform his favorite tunes, exemplifying procedural memory.

5.语言使用Original Answer: Well, in the reading material, it talks about the procedural memory, which means the memory of performing particular actions. The professor used himself as an example. When he was a child, he was learning to play guitar, and the teacher told him how to hold the fingers and how to play the guitar. And he played the guitar for hours, and finally he learned how to pick up the guitar and how to use the fingers. However, after college, he stopped playing the guitar and never played it. And one day, he found the old guitar, and when he picked it up, he found he knew how to play the guitar. He knew how to, where to place the fingers and how to use the guitar. He can't explain why and how he can play the guitar, but he can just still play. This reflects the ideas of the procedural memory.
Corrected Answer: In the reading passage, it discusses procedural memory, which refers to the memory of performing specific actions. The professor illustrated this concept using his own experience. As a child, he learned to play the guitar; his teacher taught him finger placement and playing techniques. He practiced for hours until mastering these skills. However, after college, he stopped playing and didn't touch a guitar for years. One day, upon finding his old guitar, he discovered that he still remembered how to play it effortlessly. Although unable to explain precisely why or how he could play, his ability remained intact. This example demonstrates procedural memory. (在这个修改后的回答中,我们使用了更自然的语言风格,同时对一些词汇和句子结构进行了调整,使其更符合高级词汇和语法要求。例如,我们将“it talks about”修改为“it discusses”,将“he was learning to play guitar”修改为“he learned to play the guitar”,并将“he can just still play”修改为“his ability remained intact”。这些修改使回答更加流畅、连贯和准确。)

The lecture discusses procedural memory, which is different from learning names and facts. This type of memory is formed through practice. In the lecture, the professor shares his personal experience as an example. When he was a boy, he practiced playing the guitar for several hours every day after school. Over time, he became able to play the guitar effortlessly without consciously thinking about it. Even after many years of not playing, he discovered that he could still remember how to play the guitar with his fingers and even perform his favorite songs. This example illustrates the concept of procedural memory, as the professor's ability to play the guitar was retained and recalled easily despite the passage of time.

Revised Answer (140 words):
The reading passage introduces procedural memories, which are formed during the process of performing a task and become automatic with practice. For instance, when the professor was young, he acquired the skill of playing the guitar. During his initial lesson, he learned how to hold the guitar and position his fingers on the strings. He diligently practiced for hours daily after class. As a result, several years later, he could effortlessly pick up his guitar and play songs without conscious thought. However, upon entering university, he ceased playing guitar for an extended period. Surprisingly, when he recently discovered his old guitar, he realized that he could still play the guitar and move his fingers in the right way. Although the professor cannot explain the precise mechanics behind the skills, he can still play his favorite songs.

The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, but there are some occasional pauses and minor punctuation issues. To improve, the speaker should focus on maintaining a consistent pace and minimizing pauses. Additionally, working on pronunciation accuracy will help to eliminate any spelling errors that may arise from mispronunciation.
4.Topic Development The response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas. However, there is room for improvement in providing more specific examples or support for the concept of procedural memory. The speaker could have elaborated more on how the professor's experience with playing the guitar after a long time demonstrates the automatic nature of procedural memories. To improve, the speaker should focus on providing more detailed explanations and examples to better support their ideas.
5.Language UseOriginal: In the lecture, the professor talked about the procedure procedural memory. It's that students also have the memory of performing a task without practicing for a long time. He used the example of himself. When he was young, he practiced the guitar and the teacher taught him how to play his figure fingers. And he spent time to practice how to play music every day. And after a year, he can play the guitar without thinking it. And after he got to college, he was really busy and stopped playing the guitar. But after one year, one day he found the guitar and he knew that he still can learn how to play the guitar. Although he don't know why and how he can play the figure fingers in the correct position, but he still learn to play the guitar. It's amazing.
(The word "procedure" should be "procedural" to match the term from the reading passage. The word "figure" should be "fingers" as it refers to hand placement on the guitar.)
Revised (140 words): In the lecture, the professor discussed procedural memory, which refers to people's ability to perform tasks without practicing for an extended period. He illustrated this concept with his own experience of learning to play the guitar when he was young. His teacher taught him finger placement, and through daily practice, he eventually played without conscious effort. However, upon entering college, his busy schedule led him to stop playing altogether. Surprisingly, after several years of not playing, he discovered that he could still play the guitar when he found it one day. Although he couldn't explain the exact finger movements or positions, he was able to play his favorite songs. This example demonstrates the concept of procedural memory, as the professor's ability to play the guitar remained intact despite not practicing for a long time.
