Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Well, definitely bags are very popular in my country, mostly children and elder people you see because bicycles are inexpensive and compact, so they are coming out for shore shifts around the neighborhood.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: 先直接回答问题,再补充一两个相关细节。避免重复“I know to ride it”;过去学会骑车应说“learned to ride it”。“under my father torched me”表达不清楚,可以改成“my father taught me”,并注意过去时和句子结构,例如“when I was about seven”。
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I learned to ride a bike when I was about seven, with my father teaching me in our yard. I was a little nervous at first, but I soon started to enjoy it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 35.0Sugerencia: 开头应明确回答自行车是否受欢迎;注意“bikes”不要误说成“bags”。可以说“among children and older people”,而不是“mostly children and elder people”。最后的“coming out for shore shifts”意思不清楚,可具体说明人们骑车去附近短途出行。补充原因时使用清楚的连接词,如“because”。
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and older people. They are affordable and easy to park, so many people use them for short trips around their neighbourhood.
× I know to ride it when I was about seven.
✓ I learned how to ride it when I was about seven.
句子描述的是七岁时发生的事情,应使用过去时。这里的 know 是现在时,与 when I was about seven 的过去时间不一致;表达“学会骑车”时,learn how to ride 比 know to ride 更合适。
× I know to ride it when I was about seven under my father torched me in the home which was quite scary at first but fun afterwards.
✓ I learned how to ride it when I was about seven, when my father torched me at home, which was quite scary at first but fun afterwards.
表示“在家里”时,通常说 at home,而不是 in the home。这里 under 也不能用来引出父亲教或帮助说话者的情境,因此改为表示时间的 when。注意:torched 的词义可能不符合原意,但这属于用词问题,不在指定的语法问题类型范围内,所以未作修改。
× Well, definitely bags are very popular in my country, mostly children and elder people you see because bicycles are inexpensive and compact, so they are coming out for shore shifts around the neighborhood.
✓ Well, definitely bags are very popular in my country, especially among children and elder people, you see, because bicycles are inexpensive and compact, so they are coming out for shore shifts around the neighborhood.
mostly children and elder people you see 缺少清晰的句子结构,且 mostly 与后面的名词短语之间缺少合适的连接。可以用 especially among 引出“尤其在……群体中”,并将 you see 放在插入语位置,使句子关系更清楚。
× mostly children and elder people
✓ especially among children and older people
elder 通常用于表示家庭或社会关系中的“年长者”,一般不直接用来修饰 people 表示“老年人”。这里用 older people 更自然;也可以说 elderly people。
