Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 48.0建议: 先直接回答问题,并注意讲过去的事情要使用过去时,例如把“have”改为“had”。“at the age of twelve”可以更自然地说成“when I was twelve”。最后一句的“alans”意思不清楚;如果你想表达自己攒的钱,可以说“my own savings”。
示例: Yes, I had a bike when I was twelve. I bought it from a friend and paid for it with my own savings. I rode it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 32.0建议: 明确回答自行车现在是否流行,并保持观点前后一致。比较过去和现在时,可以用“used to be”与“these days”;表达原因时使用清楚的连接词,例如“because”。注意“one more popular”不自然,应说“more popular”,并补充具体原因或例子。
示例: Yes, bikes are still popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. They used to be even more common, but these days many people prefer scooters because they are faster. Still, cycling is popular for exercise and short trips.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child at the age of twelve.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, at the age of twelve.
句子描述的是童年时的经历,时间背景是过去,因此 have 应改为过去式 had。描述过去发生或存在的情况时,要使用一般过去时。
× Yes, it was popular ten or twenty years before, but nowadays since vehicles and scooters are one more popular these people ride bicycles.
✓ Yes, they were popular ten or twenty years before, but nowadays since vehicles and scooters are one more popular these people ride bicycles.
这里的 it 指代前文复数的 bikes,应改为 they;相应地,be 动词也应从 was 改为 were。代词的单复数应与它所指代的名词保持一致。
× Yes, it was popular ten or twenty years before, but nowadays since vehicles and scooters are one more popular these people ride bicycles.
✓ Yes, it was popular ten or twenty years ago, but nowadays since vehicles and scooters are one more popular these people ride bicycles.
表示“十年或二十年前”时,英语使用 ten or twenty years ago。ago 表示从现在往前推算一段时间;before 通常需要结合过去某个参照时间使用。
× Yes, it was popular ten or twenty years before, but nowadays since vehicles and scooters are one more popular these people ride bicycles.
✓ Yes, it was popular ten or twenty years before, but nowadays since vehicles and scooters are more popular these people ride bicycles.
more popular 已经是 popular 的比较级形式,不需要在前面加 one。比较级通常用 more + 形容词表示“更……”。
