Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 42.0제안: 先直接回答“有”或“没有”,再说明自行车是谁送的以及你小时候如何使用它。原句中“that's a gift”时态和表达不自然;可以说“it was a gift”,并补充具体细节,让回答更清楚。
예시: Yes, I did. My grandfather gave me a bike as a birthday present when I was about eight. I used to ride it around our neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 38.0제안: 明确说明你认为自行车现在是否受欢迎,并解释不同年龄群体或过去与现在的差异。表达年龄时应使用“among ten-year-olds”或“for children around the age of ten”,不能说“in 10 years old”;注意“bikes”作复数时使用“they”。
예시: Yes, bikes are still quite popular, especially among children. Many ten-year-olds ride them to school or around their neighborhoods. However, adults often prefer cars or public transport for longer journeys.
× Of course that's a gift, my grandfather said to me.
✓ Of course. It was a gift from my grandfather.
问题中的经历发生在童年,回答应使用过去时。这里用“that's”不符合过去的语境,改为“it was”。回答时也可以直接说“Of course. It was a gift from my grandfather.”
× It is popular in 10 years old, not now.
✓ Bikes were popular when I was 10 years old, but not now.
“It”是单数代词,但它指代复数名词“bikes”,因此应使用复数形式“they”;也可以像修改后的句子一样直接重复“Bikes”,避免代词指代不清。
× It is popular in 10 years old, not now.
✓ Bikes were popular when I was 10 years old, but not now.
表示“在我十岁时”应使用时间从句“when I was 10 years old”,不能说“in 10 years old”。注意“when”后需要有主语和动词。
× It is popular in 10 years old, not now.
✓ Bikes were popular when I was 10 years old, but not now.
“十岁时”指过去的时间,因此描述那时自行车受欢迎应使用过去时“were popular”,而不是现在时“is popular”。“but not now”则保留现在时语境,表示现在不流行。
