Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 48.0

Suggestion: 先直接回答“小时候有自行车”,并用过去时,例如“I had a bike”。“I mean to riding”表达不自然,可改为“I used to ride”;“right there”前应说明去哪里。注意使用过去时描述童年经历,并用连接词清楚地补充骑车的原因或感受。可以删去“every time whenever”这类重复表达,控制在三句左右。

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it to the beach because I lived nearby. Whenever I felt stressed, I would sit there and enjoy the sea breeze.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: 先明确回答自行车是否受欢迎,再说明共享单车普及的情况。“my Gumtree”含义不清,建议直接说“shared bikes are popular in my country”;“You know it”较多余。最后一句没有说完,而且“use”和“take”重复,可改成完整表达,并具体说明当地居民如何出行。避免使用“uh”等填充词。

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially shared bikes, which are available in many cities. In my hometown, there is no subway, so people often use buses or shared bikes to get around. They are convenient for short trips.

Grammar

5: Past tense issue

× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

这句话说的是童年时期的情况,时间在过去,因此要用过去式 had,而不是现在式 have。

8: Verb + -ing form

× I mean to riding a bike to the beach.

✓ I mean, I used to ride a bike to the beach.

“mean to”后面应接动词原形,不能接 riding。结合童年时的语境,表达过去的习惯更自然的说法是“used to ride”;used to 后也要接动词原形。

16: Incorrect conjunction use

× Every time whenever feel upset or stressed...

✓ Whenever I felt upset or stressed...

“every time”和“whenever”都可以表示“每当”,同时使用显得重复,选择其中一个即可。另外,whenever 引导的从句需要主语 I;结合过去的语境,felt 应使用过去式。

5: Past tense issue

× I will right there and sit there enjoy the sea breeze.

✓ I would ride there, sit there, and enjoy the sea breeze.

这里描述童年时反复做的事情,应使用 would 表示过去的习惯,而不是表示将来的 will。“right”在这里应为动词 ride。并列的动作 ride、sit 和 enjoy 形式保持一致。

17: Incorrect use of the definite article

× My Gumtree is famous for the shared bicycles.

✓ My Gumtree is famous for shared bicycles.

这里泛指共享单车这一类事物,不是特指某一批共享单车,因此通常不需要定冠词 the。

26: Sentence structure errors

× Actually, in my hometown, there's no subway, so people always use, uh, take the public transportation like.

✓ Actually, there’s no subway in my hometown, so people usually take public transportation.

原句中 use 和 take 连在一起,像是说到一半改换了动词,句子结构不完整;应选择一个动词。另外,句末的 like 没有接续内容,应删去。

22: Article errors

× People always take the public transportation.

✓ People always take public transportation.

public transportation 泛指公共交通这一种服务时,通常不加 the。
