Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 35.0建议: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp “Oh yes”, nhưng phần sau có nhiều lỗi khiến ý nghĩa chưa rõ: “when I was to try” không tự nhiên và “for Mick” có thể là bạn muốn nói “for me”. Hãy dùng quá khứ đơn để kể về thời thơ ấu (“When I was a child, my father bought me…”), sau đó thêm một chi tiết cụ thể hoặc cảm xúc. Vì câu chuyện xảy ra trong quá khứ, hãy dùng “liked” thay vì “like”.
示例: Yes, I did. When I was about five, my father bought me a pink bicycle. I loved riding it around our neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 45.0建议: Bạn đã nêu quan điểm rõ ràng (“Definitely”) và đưa ra lý do liên quan đến việc trẻ em đi học bằng xe đạp. Tuy nhiên, “special in young children” chưa đúng cách diễn đạt; hãy nói “especially among children”. Sửa cấu trúc “instead of pick up by parents” thành “instead of being driven to school by their parents”. Có thể bỏ các từ đệm “uh” và dùng một từ nối như “For example” để câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn.
示例: Definitely, bikes are popular, especially among children. Many students ride their bikes to school instead of being driven by their parents. They are a convenient and affordable way to get around.
× Oh yes, when I was to try my father bought a pink bicycle for Mick, so I like it very much.
✓ Oh yes. When I was a child, my father bought a pink bicycle for me, so I liked it very much.
The phrase when I was to try does not form a complete or logical clause in this context. Since the question asks about childhood, say when I was a child. The sentence also suggests the bicycle was bought for the speaker, so for me is appropriate if Mick was intended to mean me.
× Oh yes, when I was to try my father bought a pink bicycle for Mick, so I like it very much.
✓ Oh yes. When I was a child, my father bought a pink bicycle for me, so I liked it very much.
The speaker is describing a past childhood experience. Use the past-tense form liked to keep the verb tense consistent with was and bought.
× Definitely uh special in uh young children.
✓ Definitely, especially among young children.
Special is an adjective, but the sentence needs the adverb especially to mean particularly. Use especially among young children to identify the group in which bikes are popular.
× In my country they use a bicycle to ride to school instead of pick up by parents.
✓ In my country, they ride bicycles to school instead of being picked up by their parents.
After the preposition instead of, use a gerund form. The phrase should therefore use being picked up, not pick up. In similar sentences, use a verb ending in -ing after instead of.
× In my country they use a bicycle to ride to school instead of pick up by parents.
✓ In my country, they ride bicycles to school instead of being picked up by their parents.
The children receive the action of their parents picking them up, so the passive voice is needed: being picked up. Use by their parents to identify who performs the action.
