Are there a lot of crosswalks around the place where you live?
Score: 86.0Suggestion: 内容完整且自然,但句子较长且可分为两到三句以加强清晰度;可用一两个连接词使逻辑更顺畅;提供更具体的例子(如某条街或学校名、具体时间)会更有说服力。请注意避免重复(如“pedestrian friendly crossings”与“cross the road”意义重复)。练习时把长句拆成主题句+1–2个支持句,保持总句数不超过五句。
Example: Yes. There are many pedestrian-friendly crosswalks near my home. They are concentrated at busy intersections and outside the local primary school, which makes walking much safer. For example, during the morning rush hour I often see parents using the crosswalks to get their children to school.
Is there anything you would like to change about the traffic in your area?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: 回答含糊且有明显重复和语法错误(如“time spent on spent on”,“my my”);缺乏具体细节和连贯支撑。建议先给出明确主题句,再用一到两个具体改进措施或理由支持(例如缩短红灯时间、优化信号灯时序或增设人行道),并用连接词衔接。改正重复和语法错误,保持句子简洁。
Example: Yes, I would change the traffic-light timing in my neighborhood. Specifically, I would shorten the red-light duration at minor intersections and coordinate nearby signals during peak hours so traffic flows more smoothly. This would reduce congestion and make journeys quicker for commuters.
× There are quite a lot of pedestrian friendly crossings in my area, mostly located at busy intersections or near places like schools or markets, which makes it much safer for pedestrians to cross the road and especially during the rush hour.
✓ There are quite a lot of pedestrian-friendly crossings in my area, mostly located at busy intersections or near places like schools or markets, which makes it much safer for pedestrians to cross the road, especially during the rush hour.
错误类型归类:句子结构错误(ID 26)。问题与说明:原句中“pedestrian friendly”应连字符连接为“pedestrian-friendly”来修饰名词“crossings”;句子后半部分有冗余连接词并且标点使用需要调整——“which makes it much safer for pedestrians to cross the road and especially during the rush hour” 中的“and”与“especially”搭配不当,造成结构不完整。改正建议:用连字符连接复合形容词,并把“and”去掉,用逗号分隔,从而让“especially during the rush hour”作为补充说明。改进建议(中文):在修饰名词的复合形容词中使用连字符;检查从句和并列连词是否造成冗余或结构松散;读出句子以确认语调和停顿处是否需要标点。

✓ I would like to see an improvement in the time spent at traffic lights around my neighborhood.
错误类型归类:句子结构错误(ID 26)及其他小错误。问题与说明:原句存在多处问题:重复词汇(“spent on spent on”,“my my”);介词使用不当(应为“time spent at traffic lights”而不是“on traffic light”);冠词和单复数不一致(用复数“traffic lights”更自然);多余的“OK”在正式回答中可省略。改正建议:删除重复词,选择正确介词“at”搭配“time spent”,将“traffic light”改为复数并加冠词或省略冠词以更自然;将“any improvement”改为“an improvement”提高语感。改进建议(中文):写句子后检查是否有重复单词;注意固定搭配(如“time spent at/on/in”需辨别场景,此处用“at”或直接说“time for traffic lights”更自然);确认名词单复数和冠词使用是否恰当;尽量避免非正式填充词如“OK”。
