No, I I don't have a bike when I was a child, when I was a child, I only know how to ride a bike until when I was around 18 years old. So I don't know. I don't, I don't have a bike. My, my mother and father have a bike, but I don't like the ride. So I don't like the ride. So I never, I never used it.
考官
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
I think it depends on the areas. If you say new territory you have more cycling paths that people could ride a bike on, but if you are saying that in the urban areas of of my my city and because there is barely any bike lane so that they are they don't ride up
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 42.0建議: 先直接回答“小时候没有自己的自行车”,再补充说明父母有自行车,但你不喜欢骑。注意使用过去时:用“didn’t have”“learned”,不要用“don’t have”“know how to ride”。避免重复同一个意思,并将“我不喜欢骑”表达为“I didn’t enjoy riding it”。
範例: No, I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child. My parents had bikes, but I didn’t enjoy riding them. I only learned to ride when I was about 18.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 45.0建議: 你的回答有比较不同地区的思路,但结尾没有说完整。先明确表态,再用“新界有较多单车径、城市地区单车道较少”解释差异。注意使用“in the New Territories”和“bike lanes”,并避免重复或中途改句;最后完整说明这会如何影响人们骑车。
範例: I think bikes are popular in some parts of my country, but not everywhere. In the New Territories, there are more cycling paths, so people can ride more easily. However, in the urban areas of my city, there are very few bike lanes, so cycling is less common.
× No, I I don't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
句子中的时间状语“when I was a child”指过去,因此要用一般过去时。把“don't have”改为“didn't have”。回答时也可以避免重复“I”。
× When I was a child, I only know how to ride a bike until when I was around 18 years old.
✓ I only learned how to ride a bike when I was around 18 years old.
这里描述的是大约18岁时学会骑自行车这一过去的事情,应使用一般过去时“learned”,而不是现在时“know”。“until when”在这里不合适;表示发生的时间直接用“when”。
× But if you are saying that in the urban areas of of my my city and because there is barely any bike lane so that they are they don't ride up.
✓ But if you are talking about the urban areas of my city, there are barely any bike lanes, so people don't ride their bikes.
原句把“If...”条件从句、“because”原因从句和“so that”结果结构混在一起,导致句子结构不完整、逻辑关系不清。可以用“If you are talking about...”引出条件,再用“so”连接结果。说话时的重复词也可以删去。
× There is barely any bike lane.
✓ There are barely any bike lanes.
这里表达城市里几乎没有自行车道,指的是多条车道,因此“bike lane”应使用复数“bike lanes”。相应地,there be结构也要用“there are”与复数名词搭配。
