Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答切题,先直接回答,再举例,结构基本清晰。需要删去重复表达“when I was when I was little”,并改进搭配:“attended sports and music clubs”可以更具体地说成“joined a football club and took music lessons”。此外,可以补充一个结果或感受,使答案更完整,例如说明这些活动帮助你培养了什么能力。
Example: Yes, my parents encouraged me to try different activities when I was a child. For example, I joined a football club and took piano lessons when I was about eight. Football helped me become more active, while music improved my concentration.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: 观点明确,但语法和词语搭配问题较多。“should do try”应改为“should try”,“drawing a music class”表达不清,可以改为“taking an art or music class”。“relieve a talents of creativity”和“build our country”不符合语境;可以说“develop creativity”和“build confidence”。建议使用“because”或“as a result”连接理由,并提供一个具体例子。
Example: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities, especially when they are young. For example, taking an art or music class can help them develop their creativity and discover their interests. It can also build their confidence because they learn to deal with new challenges.
× For example, I attended sports and music clubs when I was when I was little, especially football.
✓ For example, I attended sports and music clubs when I was little, especially football clubs.
“when I was”重复了一次,造成句子结构错误。应删除重复部分,改为“when I was little”。另外,补充“football clubs”可以使“especially football”的指代更清楚。
× Yes, I agree that when we are young we should do try a variety of things.
✓ Yes, I agree that when we are young, we should try a variety of things.
情态动词“should”后面必须接动词原形,不能再使用“do”。因此应将“should do try”改为“should try”。“when we are young”后加逗号,可以使句子结构更清晰。
× For example, drawing a music class can relieve a talents of creativity also build our country.
✓ For example, drawing and taking a music class can develop our creative talents and also help build our country.
“a talents”中,冠词“a”只能修饰单数可数名词,而“talents”是复数形式,二者不能搭配。这里应改为“our creative talents”。同时,原句中“drawing a music class”表达不完整,改为“drawing and taking a music class”后,两个活动形式平行;“relieve a talents of creativity”也不符合英语表达,改为“develop our creative talents”更准确。
× For example, drawing a music class can relieve a talents of creativity also build our country.
✓ For example, drawing and taking a music class can develop our creative talents and also help build our country.
原句把两个并列动作“develop”和“build”直接放在一起,中间缺少合适的连词。应使用“and”连接:“develop ... and also help build ...”。此外,使用“help build”可以使两个动作的结构更加平行、自然。
