Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: 你直接回答了问题,也补充了父亲和爷爷教你骑车的细节。不过,“It was about when I was the age of 10”表达不自然,可改为“I was about ten years old”。回答中“uh”和“um”较多,影响流畅度;另外,注意时态一致,用过去时转述父亲当时的想法。可以把内容精简成三句话,并用“So”连接学习骑车的经历。
Ví dụ: Yes, my dad bought me a bike when I was about ten. He thought it was time for me to learn how to ride, so he and my grandpa taught me. It was a fun experience, and I soon learned to ride on my own.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: 回答开头有回应问题,但后面的意思不够清楚,而且句子没有说完,因此缺少完整的观点和结尾。注意用复数“bicycles”或“bikes”,并用“used to”描述父母过去骑车上班;谈到现在时则使用一般现在时。建议先明确说明自行车是否流行,再用父母过去的通勤方式和当下生活节奏作对比,最后补充一个完整的结果或原因。
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are still fairly popular in my country, especially for short trips. When my parents were younger, they often rode bicycles to work. These days, people tend to have a busier lifestyle, so many choose cars or public transport instead.
× It was about when I was the age of 10.
✓ That was when I was about 10 years old.
原句中“It was about when...”的结构不自然,且“the age of 10”与“about”组合显得冗余。可用“That was when...”引出时间,再说“about 10 years old”,表达“那时我大约10岁”。
× Bicycle is kind of popular in my country.
✓ Bicycles are kind of popular in my country.
这里泛指自行车这一类事物,应使用复数形式“bicycles”,谓语也相应使用“are”。
× At that time my parents go to work by riding a bicycle.
✓ At that time, my parents went to work by bicycle.
“At that time”指过去的时间,因此动词“go”应使用过去式“went”。“by bicycle”是更简洁自然的表达。
