Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 62.0建議: 回答基本直接,也给出了原因,但有几处明显的语法和用词问题。应将“school is”改为过去时“school was”,将“work”改为“walk”,并把“my parents told me I can”改为“my parents told me I could”。另外,“save money to buy things I like”与没有自行车的关系不够自然,可以说明父母认为步行上学更方便,或者把钱留给其他需要的东西。建议使用“because”和“so”连接原因和结果,并控制在2—3句内。
範例: No, I didn’t. My school was within walking distance of my home, so I usually walked there. My parents also thought it was better to save the money for other things I needed.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 55.0建議: 回答中“没有”与后面的“小时候很流行”存在逻辑矛盾,而且缺少清晰的时间对比。可以先明确回答目前的情况,例如“Not as popular as they used to be”,然后说明原因。应将“when I was a child”后的时态改为过去时“they were popular”,并用“because”或“while”连接完整句子;“cars are more convenient”也应单独成句。建议补充一个具体原因,如汽车适合长途出行、天气不好时更舒适。
範例: They are not as popular as they used to be. When I was a child, many people rode bikes, but nowadays more people prefer cars because they are more convenient, especially for long journeys.
× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school is close to my home.
✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was close to my home.
句子讲述的是童年时期的情况,主句使用了一般过去时“didn't have”,因此原因从句中的“is”也应改为过去式“was”,以保持时态一致。
× I can't work there so it's unnecessary.
✓ I couldn't work there, so it was unnecessary.
这里描述的是过去的情况,所以“can't”应改为过去式“couldn't”,“it's”应改为“it was”。同时,在并列分句之间加逗号,使句子结构更清晰。
× My parents told me I can save money to buy things I like.
✓ My parents told me I could save money to buy things I liked.
在过去时“told me”之后,情态动词“can”通常要改为过去式“could”。同时,“like”改为“liked”,使间接引语中的时态与过去语境保持一致。
× No, when I was a child it's popular but nowadays many people like to buy cars it's more convenient.
✓ No, when I was a child, bikes were popular, but nowadays many people like to buy cars because they are more convenient.
“when I was a child”描述过去的情况,所以“it's popular”应改为“bikes were popular”。“bikes”是复数,谓语应使用“were”。
× No, when I was a child it's popular but nowadays many people like to buy cars it's more convenient.
✓ No, when I was a child, bikes were popular, but nowadays many people like to buy cars because they are more convenient.
原句把多个独立分句直接连接在一起,形成句子连接错误。应使用逗号和连词“but”,并用“because”连接“买车”和“更方便”之间的因果关系。
× Many people like to buy cars it's more convenient.
✓ Many people like to buy cars because they are more convenient.
“cars”是复数名词,因此代词应使用复数“they”,不能使用单数形式“it”。“they are”指代“cars”。
