Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
Well, I don't think that bikes are very popular in my country because my country has many cars and there's lots of traffic jams and they don't have a specific bike road for those people who rode bikes. So it might be not very safe to ride a bike.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 88.0Gợi ý: 回答直接,细节具体,也说明了骑车的频率和原因。可以在连接并列信息时加入逗号或连接词,让句子更流畅;“a small red bike my parents bought for me”也可以改为更自然的“a small red bike that my parents bought for me”。整体表达已经清楚,注意避免把多个信息都塞进一个长句。
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a small red bike, and I used to ride it to the park with my friends at weekends. I rode it almost every day because it was fun and kept me active.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 观点明确,也给出了交通拥堵和缺少自行车道两个原因。不过,“my country”重复较多,可用“it”替代;“there's lots of traffic jams”应改为“there are lots of traffic jams”;“specific bike road”更自然的说法是“dedicated bike lanes”;“it might be not very safe”应改为“it might not be very safe”。建议把原因分成两句,并使用“also”等连接词,让表达更清晰。
Ví dụ: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. There are a lot of cars and frequent traffic jams, and many roads don't have dedicated bike lanes. As a result, cycling can feel unsafe, especially in busy areas.
× Well, I don't think that bikes are very popular in my country because my country has many cars and there's lots of traffic jams and they don't have a specific bike road for those people who rode bikes.
✓ Well, I don't think that bikes are very popular in my country because my country has many cars and there are lots of traffic jams and they don't have a specific bike road for those people who rode bikes.
“lots of traffic jams”是复数名词短语,因此应使用“there are”,而不是“there is/there's”。可以记住:There be 句型中,be 动词要与后面的名词保持单复数一致。
× Well, I don't think that bikes are very popular in my country because my country has many cars and there's lots of traffic jams and they don't have a specific bike road for those people who rode bikes.
✓ Well, I don't think that bikes are very popular in my country because my country has many cars and there's lots of traffic jams and they don't have a specific bike road for those people who ride bikes.
这里描述的是一般情况下骑自行车的人,而不是过去某个时间发生的事情,因此定语从句中的“rode”应改为一般现在时“ride”。描述习惯或普遍事实时,通常使用一般现在时。
× So it might be not very safe to ride a bike.
✓ So it might not be very safe to ride a bike.
否定词“not”应放在情态动词“might”之后、主要动词“be”之前。结构是“might not + 动词原形”,所以应说“might not be”,而不是“might be not”。
