Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 52.0Sugerencia: 先直接回答问题,并注意过去时:谈童年经历时用“didn’t have”,而不是“don’t have”。“bike”前需要冠词,通常说“a bike”;“so and”用法不自然,删去即可。避免重复两次说没有自行车,可补充一个具体原因或相关细节。
Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Most of my friends didn’t have one either, and I wasn’t particularly interested in cycling. I usually walked or took the bus to get around.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: 回答中“but”重复较多,可以用“whereas”或“in recent years”梳理过去与现在的对比。注意时态一致:描述过去用过去时,描述近年来的趋势可用现在完成时。“the lifestyle is more changing”不自然,可改为“people’s lifestyles have changed”;再提供一个具体原因,例如自行车便于通勤或有助于健身。
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes have become quite popular in my country, especially in recent years. They were less common in the past, but more people now use them for commuting and exercise. I think this is partly because people are looking for convenient and healthier ways to get around.
× And to be honest, I don't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ And to be honest, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
句子说的是“小时候”,属于过去时间,因此要用一般过去时。这里应将 “don't have” 改为 “didn't have”。
× I think at that time bike is not very popular among my friends and classmates so and I'm not very interested in that.
✓ I think bikes were not very popular among my friends and classmates at that time, and I wasn't very interested in them.
这里是在泛指自行车,应使用复数形式 “bikes”,而不是单数 “bike”。泛指一类事物时,通常可以使用复数名词。
× I think at that time bike is not very popular among my friends and classmates so and I'm not very interested in that.
✓ I think bikes were not very popular among my friends and classmates at that time, and I wasn't very interested in them.
“at that time”表示过去,所以描述当时不流行和自己不感兴趣时,应使用过去时:“were not”和“wasn't”,不能用现在时 “is not”和“I'm”。
× I think at that time bike is not very popular among my friends and classmates so and I'm not very interested in that.
✓ I think bikes were not very popular among my friends and classmates at that time, and I wasn't very interested in them.
“so”和“and”不应在这里连续堆叠使用。连接两个相关意思时保留一个合适的连词即可;这里用 “and” 连接两个并列情况。
× So I don't have bike.
✓ So I didn't have a bike.
这句话总结的是小时候的情况,应使用一般过去时 “didn't have”,而不是现在时 “don't have”。
× So I don't have bike.
✓ So I didn't have a bike.
单数可数名词 “bike” 前通常需要冠词。这里应在 “bike” 前加不定冠词 “a”。
× Mmm, yes, I think bikes are popular in my country nowadays, but in the past I think it's not very popular, but in recent years it's becoming popular.
✓ Mmm, yes, I think bikes are popular in my country nowadays, but in the past I think they were not very popular. In recent years, they have become popular.
“in the past”指过去,因此应把 “it's not” 改为过去时 “they were not”。这里讨论的是复数的自行车,所以也要用复数代词 “they”。
× I think it's because of the lifestyle is more changing.
✓ I think it's because people's lifestyles are changing.
“because of”后面应接名词或名词短语,不能直接接完整句子。原句中的 “the lifestyle is more changing” 是完整句子,因此应改用 “because” 引导原因从句,例如 “because people's lifestyles are changing”。
