Thí sinh
Yes, uh, almost every family has a bike. Uh, it's very convenient to go to a place by bike, especially short distance.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: 回答切题,也解释了小时候没有自行车的原因,并补充了后来拥有自行车的时间。不过需要统一过去时:用“didn’t have”“there were”和“got”,而不是现在时;“没有适合骑车的道路”可表达为“there weren’t any suitable roads for cycling”。建议用连接词分开原因和后来的变化,并避免“go to the university”这种不自然的表达。
Ví dụ: I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because there weren’t any suitable roads for cycling in my hometown. It wasn’t a convenient way to get around, so I usually travelled by other means. I didn’t get my own bike until I went to university.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 回答直接,并给出了自行车普及的理由,整体清楚。可以删去口头填充词“uh”,并把“almost every family”改得更自然、避免过度概括,例如“many people”。“go to a place”较笼统,可换成“get around”,而“especially short distance”应改为“especially for short distances”。可以再补充一个具体场景。
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities and towns. They’re convenient for getting around, particularly when people are travelling short distances. For example, many people ride them to nearby shops or work.
× Actually I don't have a bike when I'm a child because in my hometown there is no road for bicycles so bike is not a good way to go outside. I have my own bike until I go to the university.
✓ Actually, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because there were no roads for bicycles in my hometown, so a bike wasn't a good way to get around. I didn't get my own bike until I went to university.
问题描述的是童年时期的情况,应使用过去时。将“don't have”改为“didn't have”,“I'm”改为“was”,“is”改为“were”,“is not”改为“wasn't”,并将“have”和“go”分别改为“got”和“went”,使整段叙述与过去的时间背景一致。
× In my hometown there is no road for bicycles.
✓ There were no roads for bicycles in my hometown.
这里表达家乡没有供自行车行驶的道路。“Road”是可数名词,泛指没有这类道路时用复数“roads”。注意此处同时需要用过去时“were”配合童年时期的语境。
× So bike is not a good way to go outside.
✓ So a bike wasn't a good way to get around.
“Bike”是单数可数名词,前面需要加冠词;这里泛指自行车,应使用“a bike”。
× It's very convenient to go to a place by bike, especially short distance.
✓ It's very convenient to travel by bike, especially over short distances.
表示骑车经过一段距离时,可以在“short distances”前使用介词“over”。原句的“especially short distance”缺少合适的介词。
× Especially short distance.
✓ Especially over short distances.
“Distance”是可数名词;这里泛指各种较短的距离,应使用复数“distances”。
