Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: 回答内容完整,先回答了“有”,并补充了自行车的颜色、购买者和周末骑车的经历,结构基本清晰。但时态、冠词、词序和搭配错误较多:应将“have”改为“had”,将“when I was a five years old”改为“when I was five years old”,将“a pink beautiful bike”改为“a beautiful pink bike”,并将“that is my father bought for me”改为“which my father bought for me”。“happening memory”不自然,可改为“happy memory”或“wonderful memory”。避免重复使用“bike”和“really”,并使用“because”自然连接原因。
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a beautiful pink bike when I was five years old, which my father bought for me. I loved riding it with my parents at weekends. It is still a wonderful childhood memory because we often explored the neighborhood together.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: 回答直接表达了观点,也提供了交通拥堵这一原因,但语法和表达不够自然。应将“bike is”改为复数“bikes are”,将“many traffic jams happen in my cities”改为“there are many traffic jams in my cities”,并将“like ride bicycle”改为“like riding bicycles”。“to home”应改为“home”,“we're to school”应改为“or to school”,“safe times”应改为“safer and more time-saving”。最后一句可改为“If we drive, we may get stuck in traffic and arrive late.”
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. There are often heavy traffic jams, so many people ride bicycles to work or school. Cycling is convenient, relatively safe, and can help people avoid arriving late because of traffic.
× Of course I have a pink beautiful bike when I was a five years old, uh, that is my father bought for me.
✓ Of course, I had a bike when I was five years old.
“When I was five years old”表示过去的时间,因此“have”应改为过去式“had”。回答童年经历时,主要动词通常使用一般过去时。
× Of course I have a pink beautiful bike when I was a five years old, uh, that is my father bought for me.
✓ Of course, I had a beautiful pink bike when I was five years old.
英语中多个形容词通常按照“观点或性质 + 颜色 + 名词”的顺序排列。因此应说“a beautiful pink bike”,而不是“a pink beautiful bike”。
× Of course I have a pink beautiful bike when I was a five years old, uh, that is my father bought for me.
✓ Of course, I had a beautiful pink bike when I was five years old.
表示年龄时应说“five years old”。这里的“five”表示复数,所以使用“years”;同时不能在“five years old”前加不定冠词“a”。
× Of course I have a pink beautiful bike when I was a five years old, uh, that is my father bought for me.
✓ Of course, I had a beautiful pink bike when I was five years old. It was a bike that my father bought for me.
“that is my father bought for me”结构不完整且多用了“is”。可以改为“It was a bike that my father bought for me”,其中“that”引导定语从句修饰“bike”。
× I really like my bike because I can ride my bike with my parents on the weekend.
✓ I really liked my bike because I could ride it with my parents on weekends.
这段话描述的是童年时期的经历,因此情态动词“can”应使用过去形式“could”。“could”后面接动词原形“ride”。
× I really like my bike because I can ride my bike with my parents on the weekend.
✓ I really liked my bike because I could ride it with my parents on weekends.
前文讲的是过去的童年经历,所以“like”应改为过去式“liked”。此外,代词“it”可以避免重复使用“my bike”。
× That's a really, really happening memory.
✓ That was a really happy memory.
“happening”表示“正在发生的”,不能表达“快乐的回忆”。这里应使用形容词“happy”。由于回忆属于过去经历,“That’s”也更自然地改为“That was”。
× Yes, bike is very popular in my country because many traffic jams happen in my cities.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because there are many traffic jams in my city.
泛指自行车这一类交通工具时,应使用复数“bikes”,并搭配“are”。“many traffic jams”表示多个交通堵塞现象;如果指自己所在的一个城市,应使用单数“city”。
× Yes, bike is very popular in my country because many traffic jams happen in my cities.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because there are many traffic jams in my city.
主语“bikes”是复数,因此系动词必须使用复数形式“are”,不能使用“is”。要特别注意主语单复数和动词形式的一致。
× So the people like ride bicycle to home or to work, we're to school.
✓ So people like riding bicycles home, to work, or to school.
“like”后面可以接动名词,因此“like ride”应改为“like riding”。表达“喜欢做某事”时,可以使用“like + 动词-ing形式”。
× So the people like ride bicycle to home or to work, we're to school.
✓ So people like riding bicycles home, to work, or to school.
这里是泛指本国的人,不是特定的一群人,所以“the people”应改为“people”。泛指复数名词时通常不使用定冠词“the”。
× So the people like ride bicycle to home or to work, we're to school.
✓ So people like riding bicycles home, to work, or to school.
这里泛指人们骑自行车,因此“bicycle”应使用复数形式“bicycles”。复数形式可以表示一类事物。
× So the people like ride bicycle to home or to work, we're to school.
✓ So people like riding bicycles home, to work, or to school.
表示“回家”时,固定表达是“go home”或“ride home”,不能说“ride to home”。但是“to work”和“to school”中的“to”可以保留。
× So the people like ride bicycle to home or to work, we're to school.
✓ So people like riding bicycles home, to work, or to school.
“we’re to school”在句中结构不完整,而且与前面的主语不一致。这里应该继续列举骑自行车的目的地,使用“or to school”。列举内容应保持平行结构。
× It's very convenient and safe times.
✓ It is very convenient and safe.
“convenient and safe”已经是完整的形容词补语,后面不需要加“times”。删除多余的名词后,句子结构才完整、自然。
× If we drive the car, we also are late.
✓ If we drive, we are also late.
副词“also”通常放在系动词“are”之后,因此应说“are also late”,而不是“also are late”。
