Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: 先直接回答是否有自行车,再说明妈妈为什么给你买车,以及你如何使用它。注意使用过去时:将“have”改为“had”,“doesn't have”改为“didn't have”;这里应说“bike”,不是“bite”。“I have a thought”表达不自然,可改为“I remember”。
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I remember that my mum gave me a bike because she was often busy and couldn't play with me. I used to ride it around our neighborhood by myself.

Điểm: 34.0Gợi ý: 先清楚回答自行车是否受欢迎,再用一到两个具体理由解释。避免使用含义不清的“when he or she walking to the other”;如果想表达人们更常开车或骑摩托车,可以直接这样说。注意主谓一致和表达习惯,例如用“people tend to”和“ride a bike”。
Ví dụ: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. Many people prefer cars or motorcycles because they are more convenient for longer journeys. As a result, cycling is more common for exercise than for commuting.

句子描述的是童年时发生的事情,因此相关动词应使用过去时。这里的“have”和“doesn't have”应分别改为“had”和“didn't have”。

✓ I have a thought when I was a child because my mom doesn't have time to play with me, so she gave me a bite that I could play by myself.
“that”引导的从句描述过去收到物品后能够做的事,应使用过去形式的情态动词“could”,而不是“can”。
× Actually I think the answer is no, because they always buy the car and motorcycle.
✓ Actually, I think the answer is no, because they always buy cars and motorcycles.
这里泛指人们购买的汽车和摩托车,应使用复数形式“cars”和“motorcycles”,而不是单数形式“the car”和“motorcycle”。
× They hardly buy a bike when he or she walking to the other.
✓ They hardly buy a bike when he or she is walking to the other.
“he or she”是主语,后面的现在进行时需要助动词“is”。现在进行时结构为“主语 + be动词 + 动词-ing”,因此应在“walking”前补上“is”。
