Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: 先直接回答问题,并使用过去时描述童年经历。原回答中的“with a child”和“the Seven”表达不清,建议说明自行车的大小或类型,并清楚交代年龄或年级。减少“uh”“umm”等填充词;补充一个具体细节即可,例如谁送的自行车或你常在哪里骑。
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got my first one when I was about eight, in my first year of primary school. It was a little big for me, but I loved riding it around my neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: 先明确回答自行车现在是否受欢迎,避免“比现在更受欢迎”与后文“如今有很多替代方式”之间的矛盾。注意使用复数“bikes”,并用具体、相关的方式说明替代交通工具或娱乐活动;例如提到汽车、公交车或电子游戏。用“because”“for example”等连接词组织理由,并减少填充词。
Ví dụ: Bikes are still popular in my country, especially among children and people who live near their workplaces. However, many people now prefer cars or public transport for longer journeys. Children also have more indoor entertainment, such as video games, so they may ride bikes less often.
× Uh, yes, I have a big one with a child.
✓ Uh, yes, I had a big one as a child.
这里是在回忆童年,应该用过去时 had,而不是现在时 have。
× Uh, yes, I have a big one with a child.
✓ Uh, yes, I had a big one as a child.
表达“小时候”应使用 as a child;with a child 表示“和一个孩子一起”,不符合原意。
× I may say it is, uh, eight years ago when I was just, uh, 8-9 years old.
✓ I would say it was about eight years ago, when I was just eight or nine years old.
这里是在委婉地表达估计,would say 比 may say 更合适。may say 通常不用于这种表达。
× I may say it is, uh, eight years ago when I was just, uh, 8-9 years old.
✓ I would say it was about eight years ago, when I was just eight or nine years old.
eight years ago 指过去的时间,因此应使用过去时 was,而不是现在时 is。
× Umm, I think it's the. Seven, the first year of the primary school.
✓ Umm, I think it was in the first year of primary school.
这句话讲的是童年时期的经历,应将现在时 it's 改为过去时 it was。
× At the time I had got my first bike.
✓ At the time, I got my first bike.
这里叙述过去发生的一件事,用一般过去时 got 即可。had got 是过去完成时,通常用于表示某事发生在另一件过去的事之前;此处没有这样的语境。
× Umm, I think uh, bike is more popular than now, uh, for the previous year.
✓ Umm, I think bikes are more popular now than they were in previous years.
bike 泛指自行车时应使用复数 bikes;复数主语 bikes 也应搭配 are。
× Umm, I think uh, bike is more popular than now, uh, for the previous year.
✓ Umm, I think bikes are more popular now than they were in previous years.
原句用 than now 作比较,比较对象不一致:不能直接把“自行车”和“现在”相比。改为 than they were in previous years,让现在的受欢迎程度与过去的受欢迎程度进行比较。
× I think umm, because nowadays people have many umm, substitution to uh, rather than bike.
✓ I think that nowadays people have many alternatives to bikes.
many 后面应接可数名词复数,因此 substitution 不能用单数形式。这里可用复数 alternatives;泛指多辆自行车时也应使用 bikes。
