Candidate
Mmm, no, I don't think it's a popular transport. In my country, most many people prefer car than bike.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: 回答直接,但“bag”与问题中的“bike”不符;如果你想表达“自行车”,应使用“bike”或“bicycle”,并说“ride a bike”。另外,“I tried my best to learn”略显生硬,可以简洁地说你花了一段时间学会骑车。建议补充一个具体细节,例如在哪里学或学了多久。
Example: Yes, I got my first bike when I was about fourteen. My parents bought it for me, and I learned to ride it in a park near our home. It took me a few days to feel confident.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: 你表达了明确观点,也给出了理由,但有几处语法和搭配问题:“a popular transport”可改为“a popular form of transport”;“most many people”应改为“most people”;比较偏好时说“prefer cars to bikes”。可以进一步说明人们偏好汽车的具体原因,使回答更自然、具体。
Example: No, I don’t think bikes are a very popular form of transport in my country. Most people prefer cars to bikes because they are more comfortable and convenient, especially when they need to travel long distances.
× In my country, most many people prefer car than bike.
✓ In my country, most people prefer cars to bikes.
“Most”本身已经表示“大多数”,不能再与“many”连用成“most many”。应直接说“most people”。
× In my country, most many people prefer car than bike.
✓ In my country, most people prefer cars to bikes.
这里是在泛指汽车和自行车,应使用可数名词的复数形式“cars”和“bikes”,而不是单数“car”和“bike”。
× In my country, most many people prefer car than bike.
✓ In my country, most people prefer cars to bikes.
表达“喜欢A胜过B”时,常用结构是“prefer A to B”,不能用“prefer A than B”。
