Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Not really. In my country people always take a bus or take a subway to they want to go. We don't usually ride our bikes, so I think it's not fairly.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: 先直接回答是否有自行车,并注意使用过去时:将“I have”改为“I had”,因为问题询问童年经历。你可以补充骑车的频率或喜欢骑车的原因,但避免重复表达“ride my bike”,并删去“Umm”和“uh”等填充词。回答控制在两到三句会更自然、完整。
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school, and I found it really relaxing.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 40.0Sugestão: 开头的“Not really”回答明确,但后面的理由需要用正确、自然的句子表达。可以说人们通常乘公交或地铁去目的地;“to they want to go”应改为“to get where they want to go”,而“not fairly”不适合表达“不太普及”,可用“not very popular”。另外,“always”过于绝对,建议改为“usually”,并补充一个具体原因,例如公共交通更方便。
Exemplo: Not really. Most people in my country usually take the bus or subway to get where they need to go, because public transport is convenient. As a result, cycling isn’t very popular.
× Yes, of course I have a bike in my childhood.
✓ Yes, of course I had a bike when I was a child.
问题在于时态不一致。句子中的“in my childhood”表示过去,且问题询问童年经历,因此应把现在时“have”改为过去时“had”。回答过去经历时,注意使用一般过去时。
× In my country people always take a bus or take a subway to they want to go.
✓ In my country, people always take a bus or the subway when they want to go somewhere.
“to”后面不能直接接“they want to go”这样的主谓结构,因此原句结构不完整。这里可用“when”引导时间状语从句,并补上“somewhere”表示“去某个地方”。
× We don't usually ride our bikes, so I think it's not fairly.
✓ We don't usually ride our bikes, so I think it's not fair.
“is”后面需要用形容词作表语。“fairly”是副词,不能在这里描述主语“it”;应改为形容词“fair”。注意区分形容词“fair”和副词“fairly”。
