Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 42.0建议: 先直接回答过去是否有自行车,避免先说“Well, I have”再改口。注意过去时态要保持一致;关系从句中不要重复使用宾语代词(用“which my grandfather bought for me”)。最后一句表达不清,可改为“I rode it around our yard during my childhood”,并补充一个具体回忆。避免不自然或重复的表达。
示例: Yes, I did. My grandfather bought me a bike when I was about six, and I loved it. I used to ride it around our yard after school. It was one of my favourite childhood gifts.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 45.0建议: 回答时先明确你说的是普通自行车还是电动自行车。将“the outdated things”改为更自然的“less popular”或“less common”;说明原因时使用完整、自然的句子,例如“Many people have switched to electric bikes because they are faster”。注意比较级应为“faster”,并统一时态。还可以补充一个具体原因,如通勤更省力。
示例: Not as much as they used to be. Many people in my country have switched to electric bikes because they are faster and require less effort. However, ordinary bikes are still popular with people who exercise or ride for short distances.
× Well, I have.
✓ Well, I did.
问题问的是你小时候是否有自行车,使用一般过去时。回答应使用助动词 did,而不是现在时 have。
× I had a bike when I was about 6 years old which my grandfather bought it for me and I like it very much.
✓ I had a bike when I was about 6 years old, which my grandfather bought for me, and I liked it very much.
关系代词 which 已经在从句中充当 bought 的宾语,因此不能再使用 it。应删除 it。
× I had a bike when I was about 6 years old which my grandfather bought it for me and I like it very much.
✓ I had a bike when I was about 6 years old, which my grandfather bought for me, and I liked it very much.
这句话描述的是小时候的经历,整句话的时间背景是过去,因此应将现在时 like 改为过去时 liked。
× I always took it around in my yard in my children who childhood.
✓ I always rode it around in my yard during my childhood.
表示“在我的童年时期”时,应使用 during my childhood。原句中的 in my children who childhood 不是正确的介词短语。
× No, uh, now the bikes in my country are already the outdated things, because more and more people began to ride the electric bike that may more fast
✓ No, uh, bikes in my country are already outdated because more and more people are beginning to ride electric bikes, which may be faster.
这里泛指本国的自行车,不需要在 bikes 前加定冠词 the;outdated 作表语时也不需要 the。
× No, uh, now the bikes in my country are already the outdated things, because more and more people began to ride the electric bike that may more fast
✓ No, uh, bikes in my country are already outdated because more and more people are beginning to ride electric bikes, which may be faster.
句中有 now,描述的是正在发生的趋势,因此 began 这个过去时不合适。这里用 are beginning 表示越来越多人正在开始骑电动自行车。
× No, uh, now the bikes in my country are already the outdated things, because more and more people began to ride the electric bike that may more fast
✓ No, uh, bikes in my country are already outdated because more and more people are beginning to ride electric bikes, which may be faster.
这里泛指越来越多人骑的电动自行车,应使用复数 electric bikes,而不是单数 electric bike。
× No, uh, now the bikes in my country are already the outdated things, because more and more people began to ride the electric bike that may more fast
✓ No, uh, bikes in my country are already outdated because more and more people are beginning to ride electric bikes, which may be faster.
情态动词 may 后面需要接动词原形。表示“可能更快”时,应在 may 后加 be,构成 may be faster。
× No, uh, now the bikes in my country are already the outdated things, because more and more people began to ride the electric bike that may more fast
✓ No, uh, bikes in my country are already outdated because more and more people are beginning to ride electric bikes, which may be faster.
句子是在比较电动自行车和普通自行车的速度,应使用 fast 的比较级 faster。
