Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
It depends on in which area, because in the north area they are always snowing so the bike is not really suitable for the citizens, but in the source area there are so many people like because the season is really suitable and even the weather always fine.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: 先直接回答“小时候有一辆自行车”,并统一使用过去时。接着说明是谁买的、当时的感受,以及一个具体的骑车回忆。避免重复使用“then”和填充词;“我很兴奋”应说“I was really excited”,“绕着附近骑”可以说“rode around the neighborhood”。
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My mum bought it for me when I was about eight, and I was really excited. I remember riding it around the neighborhood for the first time and feeling very proud.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: 观点表达清楚,但需要修正“source area”为“southern areas”,并避免说“they are always snowing”;可以说“it snows a lot”。用“whereas”或“while”对比南北地区,并补充一个具体原因,例如天气温暖、适合短途通勤。注意说“the weather is usually fine”,并删去不自然的“so many people like”。
Example: Yes, bikes are popular in some parts of my country, although it depends on the region. In the north, it snows a lot in winter, so cycling is less convenient. By contrast, people in the south often ride bikes because the weather is milder and suitable for short trips.
× I have a bike
✓ I had a bike.
问题问的是小时候的情况,应该使用过去时。把现在时 have 改为过去式 had。
× I remember which is in my umm 8 years ago my mom bought a new bike for me
✓ I remember that my mom bought me a new bike eight years ago.
原句中 which is 和后面的时间、主句结构混杂,句子关系不清。可以用 that 引出记得的内容,并把“八年前”放在句末。
× then I really excited
✓ Then I was really excited.
excited 是形容词,句子需要 be 动词连接主语和形容词。叙述过去的感受时应使用 was。
× then I uh ride this bike, go outside like to turn around
✓ Then I rode this bike outside and rode around.
这段是在叙述过去发生的事情,因此动词应使用过去式:ride 改为 rode,go 的过去式是 went。为了让表达更简洁自然,可以说 rode around。
× It depends on in which area
✓ It depends on which area you are in.
depends on 后面不能再直接接 in which area 这种重复的介词结构。可以说 depends on which area you are in。
× in the north area they are always snowing
✓ In the northern area, it is always snowing.
描述天气时,英语通常用 it 作形式主语,例如 it is snowing。they 指代复数对象,不能用来表达某地在下雪。
× the bike is not really suitable for the citizens
✓ Bikes are not really suitable for people there.
这里是在泛指自行车,而不是某一辆特定的自行车,因此用复数 bikes 更合适;相应的 be 动词也要用 are。
× in the source area there are so many people like because the season is really suitable
✓ In the source area, there are many people who like bikes because the season is suitable.
原句中的 people like 后缺少清楚的宾语,且 because 从句与前面的结构连接不完整。可以用 who like bikes 补全“喜欢什么”,并让 because 从句完整表达原因。
× even the weather always fine
✓ And the weather is always fine.
weather 后面的 fine 是形容词,句子中缺少 be 动词。描述天气状况时应说 the weather is fine。
