Examiner
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidate
Yes, I have a bike. I use my bike to go to school every day and I often go to the park by bike also. It is a very convenient transformation so that I always use it every day.
Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
Actually I don't think so because now suburay is more popular than bike. Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place. I think the subway is more popular than the bike.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: 先直接回答过去是否有自行车,并注意使用过去时(例如 *I had*)。将 *transformation* 改为符合语境的 *means of transport* 或 *way to get around*。补充一个具体细节,例如自行车的颜色、用途或你最喜欢骑车去哪里。避免重复表达“每天使用”,并控制在两到三句。
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it to school and to the park near my home. It was a convenient way to get around, and I especially enjoyed riding it with my friends at weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: 回答中表达了“自行车不如地铁普及”的观点,但应使用正确的词形和搭配:*the subway is*、*costs less*、*long distances*。不要重复结尾观点;可以用 *because* 说明地铁便宜且适合远距离出行,再用 *whereas* 对比自行车更适合短途。若你想表达的是“自行车不太流行”,可补充具体原因,例如城市距离较远或交通繁忙。
Example: No, I don’t think bikes are as popular as the subway in my country. The subway is affordable and convenient for travelling long distances, whereas bikes are more suitable for short trips. In busy cities, many people prefer public transport because it saves them time.
× Yes, I have a bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
考官问的是你小时候有没有自行车,问题使用过去时,因此回答也应使用过去时。把表示拥有的现在时 have 改为过去式 had。
× I use my bike to go to school every day and I often go to the park by bike also.
✓ I used my bike to go to school every day, and I often went to the park by bike, too.
这句话描述的是小时候的习惯,应使用过去时。把 use 改为 used,把 go 改为 went。
× It is a very convenient transformation so that I always use it every day.
✓ It was a very convenient transformation, so I always used it every day.
句子讲的是小时候的情况,因此应将 is 改为过去式 was,并将 use 改为过去式 used。
× Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place.
✓ The subway used less money, but you could go a long distance, whereas bikes could only go to shorter places.
这句话在比较交通方式,结合前后语境应统一使用过去时。used 是 use 的过去式,could 是 can 的过去式。
× Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place.
✓ The subway used less money, but you could go a long distance, whereas bikes could only go to shorter places.
这里的 subway 指地铁这一交通系统,通常说 the subway,需要在 subway 前加定冠词 the。
× Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place.
✓ The subway used less money, but you could go a long distance, whereas bikes could only go to shorter places.
原句中的 subway 是单数主语,谓语动词不能使用原形 use。若使用现在时,应写作 The subway uses;结合过去语境则应使用 used。
× Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place.
✓ The subway used less money, but you could go a long distance, whereas bikes could only go to shorter places.
“go to a long term a long distance place place”结构混乱,且 place 重复,无法构成自然、清晰的表达。表达“去很远的地方”时,可以简洁地说 go a long distance。
× Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place.
✓ The subway used less money, but you could go a long distance, whereas bikes could only go to shorter places.
so that 通常表示目的或结果,不适合连接这里的对比内容。此处是在对比地铁和自行车的出行距离,用 whereas(而……)更合适。
× Actually I don't think so because now suburay is more popular than bike.
✓ Actually, I don't think so because now suburay is more popular than bikes.
这里的 bike 泛指自行车这一类交通工具,通常用复数 bikes。
× Subway use less money but you can go to a long term a long distance place place so that bike can only go to the shorter place.
✓ The subway used less money, but you could go a long distance, whereas bikes could only go to shorter places.
bike 在这里泛指自行车,应该使用复数 bikes;泛指较短距离的目的地时,places 也应使用复数形式。
