Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: 回答切题,也提供了一个具体时间,但“drive a bike”不自然,骑自行车应说“ride a bike”。可以补充一个简短细节,例如你骑车去哪里或当时的感受,让回答更完整。
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was in junior high school. I learned to ride it so I could cycle to school and visit my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: 你直接表达了观点,但“China is called back country”意思不清晰,也不符合自然表达;“Before and now people used to bike”存在时态和搭配问题。建议说明自行车受欢迎的具体原因或使用场景,并用“in the past”和“nowadays”进行对比,例如人们过去骑车通勤,现在也有人骑车锻炼。
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are still quite popular in China. In the past, many people used them to commute, and nowadays, people also ride bikes for exercise or to get around crowded cities.
× You know, China is called back country.
✓ You know, China is known as a country where bicycles are common.
这里的“back country”不能自然地表达“中国是自行车很普及的国家”,而且把“country”用作单数可数名词时通常需要冠词。可以改用“a country where bicycles are common”来清楚、自然地表达这个意思。
× Before and now people used to bike to exercise.
✓ In the past, people used to ride bikes for exercise, and they still do today.
“used to”表示过去经常发生、但现在不一定继续的习惯,因此不能同时用“now”表示现在仍然如此。改为先说明过去的习惯,再用一般现在时“they still do today”表达现在的情况。
