Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
No, I don't think so. I think in the past it's really popular in China, but nowadays people tend to drive car for works or go outside because it's much easier and can get anywhere you can and ride bicycle is so tired.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答基本切题,也提供了自行车的来源和作用,但存在较多语法和搭配错误。首先,应使用过去时“did have/had”,因为问题问的是童年经历;“it was a birthday my father gave me”应改为“my father gave it to me for my birthday”;“write it”应改为“ride it”。此外,“it's really mean a lot”应改为“it really means a lot”,并且“relax my heart”不自然,可以说“help me relax”或“make me feel better”。建议先直接回答,再用“because”说明原因,最后补充具体活动,控制在3—4句。
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father gave it to me for my birthday, so it really meant a lot to me. I often rode it around my neighborhood, and cycling helped me relax and stay active.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 观点清楚,也进行了过去与现在的对比,但表达不够自然,句子过长且连接不清。应将“in the past it's really popular”改为“bikes were very popular in the past”;“drive car for works”应改为“drive cars to work”;“ride bicycle is so tired”应改为“riding a bike can be tiring”。建议使用“However”连接今昔对比,并具体说明开车的便利性,例如节省时间、可以走更远的地方。同时注意名词复数和动名词作主语。
Example: I don’t think bikes are as popular as they used to be in China. In the past, many people rode bikes to work, but nowadays more people drive cars because they are faster and more convenient. However, bicycles are still popular for exercise and short trips.
× Yes, I truly have a bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
问题发生在过去的童年时期,所以要使用过去时。have 的过去式是 had。
× When I was a child it was a birthday my father gave me.
✓ When I was a child, it was a birthday present that my father gave me.
原句中 it was a birthday 后缺少名词,句子结构不完整。应使用 birthday present,并用 that 连接后面的定语从句。
× So it's really mean a lot to me.
✓ So it really means a lot to me.
主语 it 是第三人称单数,一般现在时中动词 mean 要加 s,变成 means。这里不需要使用 it’s,因为 it’s 是 it is,不能放在 mean 前面。
× I think in the past it's really popular in China.
✓ I think it was really popular in China in the past.
in the past 表示过去的时间,因此 be 动词要使用过去式 was,而不是现在时 is。
× Nowadays people tend to drive car for works or go outside.
✓ Nowadays, people tend to drive cars for work or go outside.
car 是可数名词,泛指很多人驾驶的汽车时应使用复数 cars。work 表示工作时通常是不可数名词,不能使用复数 works。
× Because it's much easier and can get anywhere you can.
✓ Because it is much easier and you can get anywhere.
原句中 can get 前缺少主语。并列分句中应明确写出主语 you:you can get anywhere。
× And ride bicycle is so tired.
✓ And riding a bicycle is so tiring.
动词短语作主语时,需要使用动名词形式 riding,而不是动词原形 ride。
× And ride bicycle is so tired.
✓ And riding a bicycle is so tiring.
bicycle 是可数名词单数,前面需要使用冠词 a,因此应说 a bicycle。
× And ride bicycle is so tired.
✓ And riding a bicycle is so tiring.
tired 描述人的感受,表示“感到疲惫的”;这里想表达“骑自行车这件事令人疲惫”,应使用 tiring。
