Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 62.0제안: 回答基本切题,也补充了自己会骑车这一信息。不过,“other usages”不自然,可改为“for other purposes”或直接说明具体用途;“In my childhood”略显生硬,建议用“As a child”。先直接回答,再简洁说明平时是否骑车以及学会骑车的情况。
예시: Not really. I didn’t ride a bike very often as a child, although I did learn how to ride one. I usually got to school another way.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 48.0제안: 你举出了上学、上班和买菜等用途,回答方向正确,但“bikes have appeared in my country in last century”表达不自然,也没有直接说明现在是否流行。建议删去这句历史信息,直接回答流行程度,并用一两个具体场景支持观点。注意“in the last century”前需要加定冠词,但此处更适合表达当下情况;同时尽量减少“uh”等填充词。
예시: Yes, bicycles are still quite popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. Many people use them to commute to work or school, while others ride them to run errands, such as buying groceries.
× In my childhood I seldom rode a bike to go to school or other usages, but I had actually learned how to ride a bike.
✓ In my childhood I seldom rode a bike to go to school or other usages, but I actually learned how to ride a bike.
这里描述的是童年时期发生的过去事实,没有另一个过去动作作为时间参照,因此不需要用过去完成时“had learned”。应使用一般过去时“learned”。
× Yes, uh, bikes have appeared in my country in last century.
✓ Yes, uh, bikes appeared in my country in the last century.
“in the last century”指明确且已经结束的过去时间,不能与现在完成时“have appeared”连用。应改用一般过去时“appeared”。
× Yes, uh, bikes have appeared in my country in last century.
✓ Yes, uh, bikes appeared in my country in the last century.
表达“上个世纪”时,通常说“the last century”,不能省略定冠词“the”。
