Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
Here it's quite popular because there are so many sharing bikes along the street and you can just take your phone and scan the code. After that you can write the sharing back to everywhere in the city.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 回答基本直接,也提供了颜色、来源和使用地点等细节,结构较清楚。但“blue bank”应为“blue bike”,“it's for my from my father”表达错误且不自然,应改为“it was a gift from my father”。此外,可以使用“because”补充骑车的原因,使答案更连贯、更具体。
Example: Yes, I had a blue bike when I was a child. It was a gift from my father, and I often rode it around my neighborhood because I enjoyed exploring the area with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答观点明确,并用共享单车解释了自行车受欢迎的原因。不过,“bikes”是复数,应该说“they are quite popular”;“take your phone”应改为“use your phone”,“sharing bikes”应为“shared bikes”,“write the sharing back”表达错误,应说“return the bike”。建议按照“观点—原因—使用方式”的顺序组织,并准确描述扫码和还车过程。
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. There are many shared bikes on the streets, and people can unlock them by scanning a QR code with their phones. They can then ride them around the city and return them at a designated parking area.
× and it's for my from my, umm, father.
✓ and it's from my father.
原句中“for my from my”结构混乱。“my”后面缺少名词,而且“for”和“from”不能这样连续使用。表示礼物的来源时,应使用“from my father”。
× there are so many sharing bikes along the street
✓ there are so many shared bikes along the streets
“shared bikes”表示“共享单车”,其中“shared”是过去分词,作前置定语,表示这些自行车被人共享使用。“sharing”是现在分词,通常表示自行车正在主动分享,意思不合适。另外,泛指城市中的道路时,使用复数“streets”更自然。
× After that you can write the sharing back to everywhere in the city.
✓ After that, you can ride the shared bike anywhere in the city.
“everywhere”表示“任何地方/到处”,前面通常不使用介词“to”,所以不能说“to everywhere”。表达“在城市的任何地方”时,应使用“anywhere in the city”。此外,“back”在这里不需要使用。建议记住:使用“anywhere in + 地点”表示“在某地的任何地方”。
× and it's for my from my, umm, father.
✓ and it's from my father.
表示某物来自某人时,应使用介词“from”,而不是“for”。例如:“The gift is from my father.”
× I had a blue bank when I was a kid and it's from my father.
✓ I had a blue bank when I was a kid, and it was from my father.
如果强调这份礼物在过去是父亲送的,并且整段都在描述童年经历,应使用过去式“was”与“had”和“was a kid”保持一致。不过,如果“It's a gift”表示现在仍然是父亲送的礼物,使用现在时“is”也可以。
