Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 回答切题,也提供了借车、弄丢并赔偿以及自行车外观等具体细节。注意统一时态:讲童年经历时用过去时,例如把“it is quite shameful”改为“I felt really bad”;“small”重复出现,可替换或删去一个。减少“uh”等填充词,并用“Unfortunately”连接弄丢自行车和赔偿的经过,让表达更自然流畅。
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I once borrowed a little yellow bike from a friend, but unfortunately, I lost it. I felt really bad about it, so I paid him back.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: 你表达了自行车受欢迎的地区以及人们关注健康和环保的原因,但回答的立场不够明确,且“in the metropolis”与“this is one of it”表达不自然。开头可直接回答“是的,尤其是在大城市”;使用复数“metropolitan cities”,并明确指出骑自行车既有益健康,也更环保。减少填充词,并避免含义模糊的“this”。
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially in large cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai. Many people ride them for exercise, and they’re also a convenient and eco-friendly way to get around.
× Uh, in some regions I suppose, especially in the metropolis in China, just like uh Shenzhen or Shanghai, uh, people there care about their health and uh eco-friendly things, and this is one of it.
✓ Uh, I suppose bikes are popular in some regions, especially in metropolises in China, such as Shenzhen or Shanghai. People there care about their health and eco-friendly things, and this is one of them.
这里举例提到深圳和上海,指的是中国的多个大城市,因此用单数“the metropolis”不合适,应改为复数“metropolises”。“one of”后面通常接复数名词或代词,所以也需要结合后面的代词进行修改。
× Uh, in some regions I suppose, especially in the metropolis in China, just like uh Shenzhen or Shanghai, uh, people there care about their health and uh eco-friendly things, and this is one of it.
✓ Uh, I suppose bikes are popular in some regions, especially in metropolises in China, such as Shenzhen or Shanghai. People there care about their health and eco-friendly things, and this is one of them.
“one of”后面应使用与前文复数“eco-friendly things”相对应的复数代词“them”,不能使用单数代词“it”。建议检查代词是否与其指代对象的单复数一致。
