試験官
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
受験者
Yes, I remember I had a bike when I was very little young. My parents brought it for me and I remember it a radio which is super fancy for little girls and I just lose it because
試験官
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
受験者
Well, I think it would be totally different if you live in different cities such as if you live in Chengdu it's more flat, the bike would be useful for that city but for Zhongqing. it's a mountain hill city, so I think it's not convenient for you to use a bike.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
スコア: 30.0提案: 先直接回答是否有自行车,再用一两句补充自行车的特点或相关回忆。注意使用正确表达:可说“when I was very young”,表示“买给我”要用“bought it for me”,而不是“brought it for me”。“I remember it a radio”缺少谓语,可改为“it had a radio”;最后一句没有说完,应补充完整原因,或直接删掉。尽量控制在五句以内。
例: Yes, I had a bike when I was very young. My parents bought it for me, and it even had a little radio, which I thought was really cool. I rode it around our neighbourhood whenever the weather was nice.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
スコア: 48.0提案: 开头要明确回答自行车在你所在国家是否流行,再说明不同城市的情况。你用成都和重庆作对比的思路很好,但句子过长,建议用“whereas”或“while”连接对比,并拆分句子。注意使用“Chongqing”(重庆)、“hilly/mountainous”(多山的)和“convenient to cycle”(骑车方便)等表达;还可以补充一个具体原因,例如地形或自行车道。
例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in some parts of China, although it depends on the city. Chengdu is relatively flat, so cycling is a convenient way to get around there. Chongqing, on the other hand, is very hilly, which makes cycling less practical for many people.
× I remember I had a bike when I was very little young.
✓ I remember I had a bike when I was very young.
“Little young”中“little”不能这样修饰“young”,表达“很年轻”时直接说“very young”。
× I remember it a radio.
✓ I remember it had a radio.
“I remember”后面的从句“it a radio”缺少谓语动词,因此句子结构不完整。可在“it”后补上“had”,表示自行车带有收音机。
× I remember it a radio which is super fancy for little girls.
✓ I remember it had a radio, which was super fancy for little girls.
这句话叙述的是小时候的经历,因此描述当时收音机很时髦时,应使用过去式“was”,而不是现在式“is”。
× I just lose it because
✓ I just lost it because
“lose”是现在式;这里讲的是小时候发生的事情,应使用过去式“lost”。“because”后面还需要补充原因,但如果录音在此处中断,则无需臆测后续内容。
× It would be totally different if you live in different cities.
✓ It would be totally different if you lived in different cities.
“would be”表示假设情境时,if 从句通常使用一般过去式,因此应将“live”改为“lived”。
× such as if you live in Chengdu
✓ for example, if you live in Chengdu
“such as”通常后接名词或名词短语,不适合直接引出“if”条件从句。这里可用“for example”引出例子。
× it's more flat
✓ it's flatter
“flat”是单音节形容词,比较级通常加“-er”,所以应说“flatter”,而不是“more flat”。
× it's a mountain hill city
✓ it's a mountainous city
“mountain hill city”不是自然的英语形容词表达。要表示“多山的城市”,可以用形容词“mountainous”。
