Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Oh, actually I don't think so. Uh, especially in our city, the people always take a bus or take a taxi to get where they want to go. And the bikes only, I think maybe only.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 25.0Sugestão: 回答提到了父亲送礼物,但把“自行车”说成了“包”,且原因部分意思不清。注意用过去时(had、gave),并使用自然表达,如“get a good mark in a maths test”和“give it to me as a gift”。先直接回答是否有自行车,再补充礼物的由来;控制在几句内。
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was about six. I got a really good mark in a maths test, so my father gave me a bike as a gift. I was thrilled because it was my first bike.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 30.0Sugestão: 开头立场明确,但后面“the bikes only...”没有表达完整,影响理解。建议用完整句说明自行车不普及的原因,并避免“always”这类过于绝对的词;可以补充一个具体对比,例如人们更常选择公交或出租车。
Exemplo: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my city. Many people prefer taking buses or taxis because they’re convenient for longer journeys. Bicycles are still useful for short trips, though.
× Yes, I have a bag when I was only several years old.
✓ Yes, I had a bag when I was only several years old.
这里描述的是童年时的情况,且从句使用了过去时“was”,主句也应使用过去时。应将“have”改为“had”。
× The reason why I have it just because I have got a very beautiful school in my math test and my father gave it as a gift for me.
✓ The reason why I had it was just because I got a very beautiful school in my math test and my father gave it as a gift for me.
这句话叙述的是过去发生的事情,因此“have it”应改为“had it”,“have got”应改为一般过去时“got”。注意,“a very beautiful school in my math test”虽然保留了原词,但意思不太清楚;修改时应确认你想表达的具体内容。
× The reason why I have it just because I have got a very beautiful school in my math test and my father gave it as a gift for me.
✓ The reason why I had it was just because I got a very beautiful school in my math test and my father gave it as a gift for me.
“The reason why...”后面的主句缺少系动词“was”,导致句子结构不完整。可使用“The reason why ... was ...”结构;也可以更简洁地说“The reason I had it was that ...”。
× ...my father gave it as a gift for me.
✓ ...my father gave it to me as a gift.
表示“把某物给某人”时,通常使用“give something to someone”。因此应将“for me”改为“to me”,并可将“as a gift”放在“to me”之后。
