Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: 先直接回答过去是否有自行车,并保持时态一致:谈童年经历时用过去时(had、gave、wanted、rode)。“my mom asked a birthday gift to give me”表达不自然,可改为“my mom gave me a bike for my birthday”。说明自行车的颜色、母亲教你骑车,以及你如何使用它。最后的“I can write to school”与骑车语境不符;如果你想表达骑车上学,应说“ride it to school”。
Example: Yes, I did. My mum gave me a pink bike for my birthday when I was a child. She taught me how to ride it, and I used to ride it to school. I really enjoyed having it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 32.0Suggestion: 先明确回答自行车在中国是否流行,再说明具体原因。原回答中的“electric things”“help the country”和“using bags”意思不清楚;如果你想表达电动自行车很常见,可以使用“electric bikes”或“e-bikes”。注意主谓一致,例如“many people use”,并用连接词补充原因或例子。
Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in China, especially electric bikes. Many people use them for short trips because they are convenient and relatively affordable. They are also a practical way to get around in busy cities.
× I have a bike.
✓ I had a bike.
这段内容是在回忆小时候的经历,因此应使用过去时 had,而不是现在时 have。描述过去的状态或拥有情况时,注意将动词改为过去式。
× When I was a child my mom asked a birthday gift to give me and the bike was pink.
✓ When I was a child, my mom gave me a bike as a birthday gift, and it was pink.
原句中 asked a birthday gift to give me 的结构不完整,动词 ask 不能这样直接连接 a birthday gift 和 to give me。根据上下文,可改为 gave me a bike as a birthday gift,表示“送我一辆自行车作为生日礼物”。
× She want me to learn how to use the bicycle and I can use it for going to school and I now really like it.
✓ She wanted me to learn how to use the bicycle, and I can use it for going to school, and I now really like it.
She 描述的是小时候发生的事情,所以 want 应改为过去式 wanted。句中的 now really like it 表示现在仍然喜欢,因此保留现在时。
× I can use it for going to school.
✓ I could use it for going to school.
这里说的是小时候能用自行车上学,表示过去的能力,应使用 could,而不是表示现在能力的 can。
× bike was the good things to help us.
✓ Bikes are good things that can help us.
原句中 bike 是单数,而 things 是复数,单复数不一致。表达一般意义上的自行车时,可用复数 Bikes,并让后面的 are 和主语保持一致。
× So many people using bags, that's popular.
✓ So many people are using bags, and that's popular.
So many people using bags 中只有现在分词 using,缺少构成现在进行时的 be 动词。现在进行时的结构是“主语 + am/is/are + 动词-ing”,所以应补上 are。
