Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: 回答切题，也提到了年龄和礼物来源，但有几处用词错误影响理解：“brought”应为“bought”；“right bike with two whales”可能想表达“red bike with two wheels”。建议先直接回答，再用一两句补充自行车的颜色或骑车时的回忆，并使用正确的过去时。

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was seven. My mother bought me a red bike with two wheels for my birthday, and I was really excited about it. I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

Sugerencia: 观点表达不够清楚，时间表达“in the past few years”和“20 years ago”相互矛盾；“but and now”也不自然。建议明确比较过去和现在，并用“whereas”或“but”连接对比。可将“a very popular transportation”改为“a popular means of transport”，再说明如今人们为什么更多使用地铁或公交。

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes used to be a very popular means of transport in my country, especially about 20 years ago. These days, however, many people in big cities prefer the subway or buses because traffic is heavy and public transport is more convenient.

× Well, actually in the past few years, 20 years ago, it's a very popular transportation in my country, but and now it's very crowded in the city.

✓ Well, actually, 20 years ago, it was a very popular means of transportation in my country, but now the city is very crowded, so people may prefer the subway or the bus.

句子中的“20 years ago”指向过去，因此应使用过去时“was”，不能使用现在时“is”。此外，“in the past few years”和“20 years ago”表达的时间范围不一致；这里根据“20 years ago”统一为过去时间。

× Well, actually in the past few years, 20 years ago, it's a very popular transportation in my country, but and now it's very crowded in the city.

✓ Well, actually, 20 years ago, it was a very popular means of transportation in my country, but now the city is very crowded, so people may prefer the subway or the bus.

“Transportation”通常是不可数名词，不能直接说“a transportation”。可以改为“a means of transportation”，其中“means”是可数名词，前面可以使用冠词“a”。

× Well, actually in the past few years, 20 years ago, it's a very popular transportation in my country, but and now it's very crowded in the city.

✓ Well, actually, 20 years ago, it was a very popular means of transportation in my country, but now the city is very crowded, so people may prefer the subway or the bus.

“but”和“and”不能在这里连续使用来连接同一组分句。保留表示转折的“but”即可，并删去“and”。

× So maybe the subway and the bus.

✓ So people may prefer the subway or the bus.

原句只有名词短语“the subway and the bus”，缺少谓语动词，因此不是完整句子。补上“people may prefer”后，句子就有了主语和谓语；表示在两种交通方式中选择时，用“or”更自然。
