Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country. Um in my country there are a lot of traffic, uh, which makes it very difficult to go outside. However, bikes works perfect in that situation because it's easier to find parking when you're riding a bike.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 10.0Suggestion: 回答没有说完整,无法清楚表达你的意思。先直接回答“有”或“没有”,然后补充一两个具体细节,例如自行车的颜色、骑车的地点或你当时的感受。
Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 你直接回答了问题,也给出了交通拥堵和停车方便这两个理由,内容相关。不过,“a lot of traffic”应改为“a lot of traffic”并搭配“There is”;“bikes works”应改为“bikes work”,“work perfect”应改为“work perfectly”。尽量减少“um”和“uh”,并把“go outside”换成更具体的表达,例如“get around”。
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. There is often a lot of traffic in cities, so cycling can be a convenient way to get around. Also, it’s easier to find a place to park a bike than a car.
× Yes, I
✓ Yes, I did.
这是对一般过去时问题“Did you have...?”的肯定回答。原句“Yes, I”缺少谓语动词,句意没有完整表达。应使用助动词 did 来代替前文的动词短语 have a bike。
× Um in my country there are a lot of traffic, uh, which makes it very difficult to go outside.
✓ Um, in my country, there is a lot of traffic, uh, which makes it very difficult to go outside.
“Traffic”(交通流量)是不可数名词,因此在 there be 句型中应使用单数形式 is,而不是 are。可以记住:there be 后的动词要与其后的名词保持单复数一致;不可数名词通常搭配 is。
× However, bikes works perfect in that situation because it's easier to find parking when you're riding a bike.
✓ However, bikes work perfectly in that situation because it's easier to find parking when you're riding a bike.
主语“bikes”是复数,因此一般现在时的谓语动词应使用原形 work,不能加 -s。建议先判断主语是单数还是复数,再决定动词形式。
× However, bikes works perfect in that situation because it's easier to find parking when you're riding a bike.
✓ However, bikes work perfectly in that situation because it's easier to find parking when you're riding a bike.
这里需要修饰动词 work,因此应使用副词 perfectly,而不是形容词 perfect。形容词通常修饰名词或描述主语;副词通常修饰动词、形容词或其他副词。
