Will you buy an expensive car in the future?
分数: 52.0建议: 先直接回答是否会买,再说明原因。“patio class”表达不清楚,可能是想说“practical car”;“cars means”应改为“cars mean”,“maintenance and insurance counts cost”可简化为“maintenance and insurance costs”。建议把理由拆清楚,避免一句话中出现多个语法问题。
示例: Probably not. I’d rather buy a comfortable, practical car than an expensive one. Luxury cars often come with high maintenance and insurance costs, which I probably couldn’t afford.
Do you think car colours are important?
分数: 72.0建议: 回答切题,也给出了实用性方面的理由。注意“the practical function matter”主谓不一致,可改为“practical features matter”或“practicality matters”。“cars with good maintenance”不自然,可以说“well-maintained cars”。
示例: Not really. I care more about a car’s reliability and condition than its colour. To me, practicality matters more than appearance.
Did you enjoy traveling by car when you were a kid?
分数: 55.0建议: 内容相关,也提到了家庭回忆,但需要保持过去时:“travel”改为“travelled”,“we have made”改为“we made”。“in that cars”表达不自然,可改为“during those trips”;结尾可说“Those trips still remind me of my childhood”。
示例: Absolutely. When I was a child, I often travelled by car with my family. We had a lot of fun on those trips, and they still remind me of my childhood.
What types of cars do you like?
分数: 58.0建议: 开头直接说明喜欢大型车,思路清楚。注意“heavy memories”应为“happy memories”,“practical function”可改为“practical features”;“when I work”不符合这里的意思,可以说“when I start working”或“when I can afford one”。
示例: I like large cars, especially SUVs. My family used to travel in one when I was a child, so I have many happy memories of road trips. I also like their spacious interiors and practicality, and I’d like to buy one when I can afford it.
Do you prefer to be a driver or a passenger?
分数: 35.0建议: 题目是在“driver(司机)”和“passenger(乘客)”之间选择,但回答中的“traveler”没有直接回应问题。请明确选择一方;“a serious car sick”应为“severe motion sickness”或“get very carsick”,“helps me being controlled”意思不清。可以说明开车如何减轻晕车,或直接说你更愿意当乘客。
示例: I’d rather be the driver because I get quite carsick as a passenger. When I’m driving, I can focus on the road, which helps me feel more comfortable and in control.
What do you usually do when there is a traffic jam?
分数: 82.0建议: 回答直接,条件对比也很清楚。可以在“wait”后补充一个具体的放松方式,让内容更生动;“find a new way to drive”建议换成更自然的“find an alternative route”。
示例: If I’m not in a hurry, I usually stay calm, listen to music and wait for the traffic to move. If I’m running late, I check my GPS for an alternative route.
× Actually not, I prefer a comfortable and patio class rather than an expensive car because I think expensive cars means a higher maintenance and insurance counts cost and I can't afford it.
✓ Actually, not. I prefer a comfortable and patio class rather than an expensive car because I think expensive cars mean higher maintenance and insurance costs, and I can't afford it.
“expensive cars”是复数主语,因此谓语应使用“mean”,不能用“means”。“maintenance”是不可数名词,前面通常不加不定冠词“a”,所以应说“higher maintenance”。另外,“insurance costs”表示保险费用。
× Actually, I don't think the color is important to me. I prefer choosing cars with good maintenance and reliable performance because the practical function matter more than appearance.
✓ Actually, I don't think the color is important to me. I prefer choosing cars with good maintenance and reliable performance because the practical function matters more than appearance.
主语“the practical function”是单数,因此一般现在时的谓语要加“-s”,应使用“matters”。
× Absolutely. When I was a child, I always travel by car with my family members and in that cars we have made a lot of happy memories. It still reminds me of the childhood.
✓ Absolutely. When I was a child, I always traveled by car with my family members, and in those cars we made a lot of happy memories. It still reminds me of my childhood.
这段话描述的是童年时期已经发生的事情,因此“travel”应改为过去式“traveled”;“we have made”也应改为一般过去时“we made”。“cars”是复数,应使用“those”而不是“that”。表达“我的童年”时应说“my childhood”,不说“the childhood”。
× For me, I prefer to be the traveler rather than the passenger because I get a serious car sick. Also it helps me being controlled and makes me feel very confident.
✓ For me, I prefer to be the traveler rather than the passenger because I get really carsick. Also, it helps me feel in control and makes me feel very confident.
“carsick”是形容词,不能说“a serious car sick”;可以用副词“really”修饰它,表达“很晕车”。“help”后可以接“宾语+动词原形”,所以应说“helps me feel”,而不是“helps me being”。
