Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: 回答直接且有具体细节,提到了父亲、年龄和周末骑车,内容较自然。不过,“my father bought ... to me”应改为“my father bought ... for me”;由于谈论童年经历,“I usually ride”最好改为过去时“I usually rode”。同时可以使用“After that”连接细节,并减少“uh”等口头填充词,使表达更流畅。
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I still remember that my father bought me a beautiful bike when I was about nine years old. I loved it, and I usually rode it at weekends to visit my friends and explore my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 86.0Gợi ý: 回答切题,观点明确,并通过价格低廉、方便以及学生和上班族的例子进行了支持,逻辑清晰。注意主谓和指代一致:这里谈论的是复数“bikes”,应说“they are really popular”,而不是“it’s really popular”。正式考试中建议用“because”替代“'cause”,并将“use bike sharing”改为更自然的“use bike-sharing services”或“use shared bikes”。
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. For example, many students and office workers ride bicycles or use bike-sharing services to travel to school or work. They are especially useful in crowded cities.
× Yes, of course, I can still remember my father bought a beautiful bike, uh, to me when I was about, uh, nine years old.
✓ Yes, of course, I can still remember that my father bought a beautiful bike for me when I was about nine years old.
表示“为某人买某物”时,应使用“buy something for someone”,不能使用“buy something to someone”。另外,“remember”后接完整从句时,加入“that”会使句子结构更清晰。
× I usually ride a bike at weekends.
✓ I usually rode a bike at weekends.
整个回答是在描述童年时期的经历,时间背景是过去,因此“ride”应使用过去式“rode”。“at weekends”表示“在周末”,用法正确。
× Well, I think it's really popular in my country 'cause they are cheap and convenient.
✓ Well, I think they’re really popular in my country because they’re cheap and convenient.
这里讨论的是复数名词“bikes”,所以应使用复数代词“they”,而不是单数代词“it”。相应地,系动词也应使用“are”,即“they’re”。在正式表达中,建议使用“because”代替口语化的“'cause”。
