Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: 先直接回答“没有”,再用一两句说明原因。注意使用过去时:描述童年时,应该说“my family was very poor”和“we couldn’t afford”。“even to eat a lot of dishes”和“get a bar”表达不清楚,建议删除或换成准确说法。避免重复“I”,并控制在三句话以内。
Example: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child. My family was quite poor at the time, so we couldn’t afford one. I usually walked wherever I needed to go.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: 回答方向正确,但后半句不完整,也有重复和停顿。可以先明确表示自行车很受欢迎,再补充具体情况,例如电动自行车很常见,以及人们使用它们的原因。注意说“electric bikes”,不用“electrical bike”。
Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially electric bikes. They’re convenient for getting around crowded cities, and they’re cheaper to run than cars.
× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because at that time my family is very poor.
✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because at that time my family was very poor.
句子描述的是童年时的情况,属于过去时间,因此应将现在时“is”改为过去时“was”。
× We cannot afford a bike, even, uh, to eat a lot of dishes.
✓ We couldn't afford a bike, even, uh, to eat a lot of dishes.
这里是在说明当时家里经济困难,应使用过去时。将“cannot”改为“couldn't”以与过去的时间背景保持一致。
× It's uh, it was a very big problem for us, for my family.
✓ It was a very big problem for us, for my family.
句子描述过去的问题,应使用过去时“was”。原句中的“It's”是现在时,而且与后面的“it was”重复;删去“It's”即可。
× Yes, I think so, because uh, now a lot of bikes, not only bikes, uh, more are electrical bike.
✓ Yes, I think so, because there are a lot of bikes now, and more of them are electric bikes.
表达“现在有很多自行车”时,需要使用“There are + 复数名词”,不能直接说“now a lot of bikes”。
