Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidato
My parents bought me a bike when I was like a five years old, but it's a little embarrassed that I didn't learn how to ride a bike at that time until I went to college.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Of course. It's not that cold in China. You share the bags, which means you can ride the bike anywhere and return it to anywhere. It's very convenient.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: 回答切题,也加入了“父母买自行车”和“大学才学会骑车”的具体经历,内容比较完整。主要问题是语法和用词:应说“when I was five years old”,而不是“when I was like a five years old”;“embarrassed”描述人的感受,应改为“embarrassing”描述事情。另外,“at that time until...”结构不自然,可以直接说“I didn’t learn to ride it until I went to college.” 建议先直接回答,再用转折补充个人经历。
Exemplo: Yes, my parents bought me a bike when I was five years old. However, it’s a little embarrassing that I didn’t learn to ride it until I went to college. I was afraid of falling, so I avoided cycling when I was a child.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: 回答表达了明确观点,也提到了便利性,但部分内容不够准确或自然。“It’s not that cold in China”不能充分解释自行车流行的原因,而且中国不同地区气候差异较大;“share the bags”应改为“use bike-sharing services”或“rent shared bikes”;“return it to anywhere”应改为“return it to any designated parking area”或“leave it at another permitted location”。建议围绕共享单车、短途出行和交通便利性展开,并使用“because”“for example”等连接词。
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in China, especially in large cities. This is mainly because bike-sharing services are convenient and affordable for short journeys. For example, people can cycle to a subway station and leave the bike at a designated parking area. As a result, bikes are a practical way to avoid traffic jams.
× My parents bought me a bike when I was like a five years old, but it's a little embarrassed that I didn't learn how to ride a bike at that time until I went to college.
✓ My parents bought me a bike when I was, like, five years old, but it's a little embarrassing that I didn't learn how to ride a bike at that time until I went to college.
表示年龄时应说“five years old”,前面不能使用冠词“a”。如果使用“a”,应改为“a five-year-old child”。

“embarrassed”通常描述人的感受,表示“感到尴尬的”;这里描述“这件事令人尴尬”,所以应使用“embarrassing”。建议区分:人感到尴尬用“embarrassed”,事情令人尴尬用“embarrassing”。

✓ Of course. It's not that cold in China. You share the bikes, which means you can ride a bike anywhere and return it anywhere. It's very convenient.
“anywhere”表示地点副词,前面通常不需要介词“to”,所以应说“return it anywhere”,而不是“return it to anywhere”。

这里是在泛指任何一辆自行车,因此应使用不定冠词“a”: “ride a bike”。“the bike”通常表示双方都知道的某一辆特定自行车。
