Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Well if 20 years ago I think my answer is yes. But these days with the success, uh, with the society improved, everyone don't need bags instead of cars.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: 回答直接,但“bag”应为“bike”;“my first”后缺少名词,而且“I can still remember”重复。建议用过去时清楚说明什么时候得到自行车,再补充一个具体细节,例如当时的感受或骑车做什么。
Exemplo: Yes, I had my first bike when I was seven. My grandpa bought it for me, and I was thrilled when I saw it. I used to ride it around our neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 30.0Sugestão: 回答的意思不够清楚,且“bags”应为“bikes”;“everyone don't”语法错误,“with the society improved”也不自然。建议先明确比较过去和现在,再给出具体原因。注意“everyone”作主语时使用“doesn't”,并说明人们是更常骑车还是更常开车。
Exemplo: Bikes were more popular in my country about twenty years ago. These days, more people own cars, especially in cities, so they often drive instead of cycling. However, bikes are still common for short trips and exercise.
× I can still remember the excitement when I got my first.
✓ I can still remember the excitement when I got my first one.
“my first”后面缺少名词或代词作中心词,句子意思不完整。可在序数词后加“one”代指前文提到的自行车。
× Well if 20 years ago I think my answer is yes.
✓ Well, if you had asked me 20 years ago, I think my answer would have been yes.
原句中的“if 20 years ago”缺少主语和谓语,条件从句结构不完整。可以补上“you had asked me”,并用“would have been”表达对过去情况的假设。
× But these days with the success, uh, with the society improved, everyone don't need bags instead of cars.
✓ But these days, as society has improved, everyone doesn't need bags instead of cars.
“with the society improved”在这里结构不自然,不能直接用“with + 名词 + 过去式”表达“随着社会进步”。可改用“as society has improved”(随着社会进步)。
× But these days with the success, uh, with the society improved, everyone don't need bags instead of cars.
✓ But these days, as society has improved, everyone doesn't need bags instead of cars.
“everyone”虽然表示多人,但语法上属于第三人称单数,因此一般现在时的否定形式应使用“doesn't”,不能用“don't”。
