Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: 先直接回答问题,并统一使用过去时:说小时候“had a bike”,以及“rarely rode it”。注意语法搭配,应说“knew how to ride a bike”和“was afraid of falling”,而不是“how to cycling”或“afraid of I will fall”。删去重复的转折词,补充一个简短原因即可让回答更自然。
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I rarely rode it. I knew how to ride one, but I was afraid of falling, so I never really enjoyed cycling.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: 回答立场明确,也给出了交通方式的例子。表达时避免“public transportation or private transportation, they”这种重复结构,可直接说“public transport and cars are more popular”。用一个连接词引出例子,并尽量避免连续重复“take”;如果情况并非适用于所有人,可用“many people”让说法更准确。
Ejemplo: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Many people prefer public transport or cars because they’re more convenient for commuting. For example, people often take the bus or subway, or drive to work and school.
× Yes I have a bike when I was a child but I barely use it because although I know how to cycling but uh I hate to ride on the bike because I'm so afraid of I will fall from the bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I barely used it because I knew how to cycle. I hated riding a bike because I was so afraid that I would fall off.
这段话讲的是童年经历,应使用过去时:将“have”改为“had”,“use”改为“used”。为保持时态一致,“know”和“hate”也改为“knew”和“hated”,“I'm”改为“was”,“will”改为“would”。讲述过去的担忧时,可以用“was afraid that I would...”表达。
× I know how to cycling
✓ I knew how to cycle
“how to”后面应接动词原形,而不是动词-ing形式。因此应说“how to cycle”,不能说“how to cycling”。
× because although I know how to cycling but uh I hate to ride on the bike
✓ because I knew how to cycle, I still hated riding a bike
“although”和“but”不能在同一个让步结构中重复使用;此处也不需要同时使用“because”和“although”。可以改成“Although I knew how to cycle, I still hated riding a bike”,或使用更直接的表达。
× I'm so afraid of I will fall from the bike.
✓ I was so afraid that I would fall off the bike.
“afraid of”后面通常接名词或动词-ing形式,不能直接接完整句子“I will fall”。这里可用“afraid that + 句子”。另外,表示从自行车上摔下来通常用“fall off the bike”,而不是“fall from the bike”。
× No, bikes are not popular in my country because nowadays the public transportation or private transportation, they are more popular.
✓ No, bikes are not popular in my country because nowadays public transportation and private transportation are more popular.
这里是在泛指公共交通和私人交通,不需要在“public transportation”前加定冠词“the”。改写时也用“and”连接两种交通方式,并删去多余的“they”,让句子结构更清晰。
