Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidato
I don't have a bike when I was a child. Actually I really want a bike and my parents promised me buy me a bag but didn't make the promise. I guess the bike is too expensive for my family and you know at that time when I was a kid only adults ride bikes so.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country but in different cities it depends. I lived in Chengdu for example, it's very flat so people ride bikes very easy. But if you are in another city like Chongqing, it's a lot of mountain in the city so people don't bite.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: 先直接回答问题,并统一使用过去时,例如 “I didn’t have a bike”。注意语法搭配:“promised to buy me a bike” 或 “promised to buy me one”;原回答中的 “a bag” 与自行车话题不符,且 “didn't make the promise” 不自然。可以补充一个具体原因或感受,并用连接词组织内容;避免以 “so” 结尾。整段控制在五句话以内。
Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I really wanted one, and my parents promised to buy me one, but they never did. I think it was probably too expensive for my family at the time.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: 回答切题,也通过成都和重庆作了对比,这是优点。建议将 “in different cities it depends” 改为更自然的表达,如 “It depends on the city”;用副词 “easily” 修饰 “ride”,并说 “there are a lot of hills” 或 “the city is very hilly”。注意 “bite” 应为 “ride bikes”。可以进一步说明地形如何影响骑行,并使用 “whereas” 等连接词让对比更清晰。
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are popular in China, although it depends on the city. For example, Chengdu is relatively flat, so people can cycle around easily. Chongqing, on the other hand, is very hilly, which can make cycling less convenient.
× I don't have a bike when I was a child. Actually I really want a bike.
✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Actually, I really wanted a bike.
这两处都在描述童年时期的情况,属于过去时间,因此要用一般过去时:don't 改为 didn't,want 改为 wanted。
× My parents promised me buy me a bag but didn't make the promise.
✓ My parents promised to buy me a bag, but they didn't keep that promise.
promise 后面接表示将要做某事时,应使用 promise to do sth.,不能说 promised me buy。这里改为 promised to buy。表达“没有兑现承诺”时,通常说 didn't keep that promise。
× At that time when I was a kid only adults ride bikes.
✓ At that time, when I was a kid, only adults rode bikes.
句子说的是小时候的情况,时间在过去,因此 ride 应使用一般过去式 rode。
× I lived in Chengdu for example, it's very flat so people ride bikes very easy.
✓ I lived in Chengdu, for example. It's very flat, so people ride bikes very easily.
easy 是形容词,不能直接修饰动词 ride;修饰动词需要用副词 easily。
× It's a lot of mountain in the city.
✓ There are a lot of mountains in the city.
表达“某地有……”时,应使用 There be 句型,而不是 It's。后面的 mountains 是复数,因此要用 There are。
× It's a lot of mountain in the city.
✓ There are a lot of mountains in the city.
a lot of 后面可以接可数名词复数。mountain 是可数名词,此处应改为复数 mountains。
