Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 38.0

Suggestion: 先直接回答“有”,并注意用 bike/bicycle,不能说 bag;骑自行车用 ride,不能用 drive。讲过去的经历时统一使用过去时,例如 bought、practised、rode。可删去 umm,并用“后来”或“所以”连接细节。

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad bought me a beautiful pink bicycle when I was three. I practised riding it regularly, and by the time I was five, I could ride it to school.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 25.0

Suggestion: 先明确回答自行车在中国是否普遍,再说明不同城市的情况。表达城市时说“which city I live in”;注意区分 bike 和 bag。把原因说完整,例如冬天寒冷会让人较少骑车,并避免重复“in my country / in my city”。

Example: Yes, bikes are still popular in China, although it depends on the city. In smaller cities, many people ride them for short trips because they are convenient and inexpensive. However, in my city, winters are very cold, so fewer people cycle during that season.

Grammar

5: Past tense issue(一般过去时错误)

× When I was three years old, my dad bought me a beautiful pink bicycle and umm, I exercise every day

✓ When I was three years old, my dad bought me a beautiful pink bicycle, and umm, I exercised every day.

这句话描述的是童年时发生的事情,时间背景是过去,因此表示“锻炼”的动词应使用过去式 exercised,而不是一般现在时 exercise。讲述过去经历时,要让相关动作的时态与过去的时间背景保持一致。

4: Modal verb usage(情态动词使用错误)

× finally I can drive it very well

✓ Finally, I could drive it very well.

这里描述的是过去逐渐学会骑车的能力。表示过去的能力时,通常用 could,而不是 can。

5: Past tense issue(一般过去时错误)

× And I drive to school when I was five years old.

✓ And I drove to school when I was five years old.

when I was five years old 明确表示过去的时间,因此 drive 应使用过去式 drove。讲述过去发生的动作时,注意将动词改为相应的过去式。

23: Sentence without a verb(句子缺少动词)

× Actually, it depends on which city I in my country.

✓ Actually, it depends on which city I live in in my country.

从句 which city I in 缺少谓语动词,因此句子结构不完整。表达“我住在哪个城市”时,可以说 which city I live in。注意英语句子通常需要明确的谓语动词。

22: Article errors(冠词错误)

× So bag is not very popular in my country in my city.

✓ So a bag is not very popular in my country, in my city.

bag 是单数可数名词,前面通常需要限定词;此处应在 bag 前加不定冠词 a。若实际想表达的是自行车这一类别,更自然的说法是 bikes are not very popular in my city。
