Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
Yes, of course. People not only ride bikes to their school or to their work, but also ride bikes as an exercise to make them stronger. You can always see a lot of people riding bikes on the road.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 先直接回答是否有自行车,再按顺序补充颜色、学习骑车的年龄和地点。最后一句“the playground near my home”是残句,建议用完整句说明你在哪里学会骑车;“Yes, of course”略显生硬,可简化为“Yes, I did”。
Example: Yes, I did. My mom bought me a yellow bike when I was about four. She taught me how to ride it in the playground near our home, and I remember being very excited.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答切题,也提供了通勤和锻炼两种用途。注意使用更自然的表达:用“ride bikes to school or work”,而不是“to their school or to their work”;“as exercise”比“as an exercise”自然,“stay fit”也比“make them stronger”更地道。可补充一个具体场景,并避免重复使用“ride bikes”。
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people cycle to school or work, especially in busy cities, because it can be cheaper and more convenient than driving. Others ride for exercise, and you can often see cyclists on the roads in the early morning.
× Umm, the playground near my home.
✓ Umm, I learned to ride it at the playground near my home.
原句只有名词短语“the playground near my home”,缺少谓语动词,因此不是完整句子。可补上主语“I”和谓语“learned”,表达“我在家附近的游乐场学会了骑车”。
