Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
If you ask me now, no, I don't think so, because bike is so slowly. Uh everyone likes faster.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: 回答直接,但时态不符合问题:对方问的是你小时候的情况,应使用过去时“had”,而不是现在时“have”。可以补充一两处具体信息,例如自行车的颜色、用途,或你小时候骑车的地点,让回答更完整。
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was red, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: 先清楚地回答“是”或“不是”,并注意名词和形容词的表达:泛指自行车时用复数“bikes”,表达速度慢应说“bikes are slow”或“bikes are too slow”;“everyone likes faster”不自然,可改为“people prefer faster ways of getting around”。删除口语填充词“Uh”,并补充具体原因或例子。
Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in big cities. Many people prefer cars or motorbikes because they can travel longer distances more quickly.
× Yes, I have one.
✓ Yes, I had one.
问题问的是小时候的经历,使用了过去时“Did you have…”。回答也应使用过去时,因此将“have”改为“had”。回答过去发生的事情时,注意保持问句和答句的时态一致。
× because bike is so slowly.
✓ because bikes are so slow.
这里泛指自行车,通常用复数形式“bikes”,并搭配复数动词“are”。泛指一类事物时,可以用可数名词的复数形式。
× because bike is so slowly.
✓ because bikes are so slow.
“slowly”是副词,通常修饰动词;这里需要描述自行车的速度,应使用形容词“slow”。系动词“are”后面用形容词描述主语。
