Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: 你直接回答了问题,也补充了学习骑车的时间和父母买车的情况。不过需要注意时态一致:讲童年经历时用过去时;“ride bike”应说“ride a bike”;“I learned it until...”表达不自然,可改为“I didn't learn to ride a bike until...”。最后一句中的“it's difficult for me”不够具体,可以说明当时觉得哪里困难。建议按“直接回答+具体经历”组织,避免重复提到年幼时的情况。
Ejemplo: No, I didn't know how to ride a bike when I was very young. My parents bought me one, but I found it difficult to balance. I didn't learn to ride properly until junior high school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: 回答切题,并给出了方便、便宜这两个理由。开头“Yes, definitely, I think so”意思重复,可以精简;“sharing bike”应使用复数“shared bikes”或“bike-sharing services”;“transportation”通常不可数,建议说“a popular form of transport”。此外,谈普遍现象时用一般现在时更自然,例如“people choose them”,并可补充一个具体使用场景。
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially shared bikes. They’re a convenient and affordable form of transport, so many people use them for short trips or to get to a nearby bus or subway station.
× No, actually I can't ride bike when I was a child.
✓ No, actually I couldn't ride a bike when I was a child.
句子描述的是童年时的情况,应该使用过去时。这里把表示能力的“can't”改为过去式“couldn't”。
× No, actually I can't ride bike when I was a child.
✓ No, actually I couldn't ride a bike when I was a child.
“bike”是可数名词单数,前面通常需要加冠词。这里应说“a bike”。
× I learned it until I was in Junior School.
✓ I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was in junior school.
“直到……才……”通常用“didn't ... until ...”表达。原句缺少否定结构,而且“learn to ride a bike”比“learn it”更清楚地表达“学会骑自行车”。
× When I was young my parents bought me a bike, but it's difficult for me.
✓ When I was young, my parents bought me a bike, but it was difficult for me.
句子描述的是过去的经历,后半句也应使用过去时。把现在时“is”改为过去式“was”。
× Yes, definitely, I think so, especially sharing bike.
✓ Yes, definitely, I think so, especially shared bikes.
这里泛指共享单车这一类自行车,应用复数“bikes”。“sharing bike”也不是表达“共享单车”的自然形式;可以说“shared bikes”。
× It's an important transportation in my country.
✓ It's an important means of transportation in my country.
“transportation”通常是不可数名词,不能直接用“an”修饰。可以改为“an important means of transportation”,其中“means”表示“方式、手段”。
