Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 48.0建議: 先直接回答问题,再补充原因。注意表达年龄时说“when I was three years old”,不能说“when I was three years ago”;“想要一辆自行车”可说“wanted one”或“wanted a bike”。另外,“my best friends”若指一个朋友,应改为“my best friend”,并避免重复使用“bike”。
範例: Yes, I did. My mother bought me a bike when I was three years old because my best friend had one, and I wanted to ride with them.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 43.0建議: 先明确回答自行车是否受欢迎,再用一个具体理由支持观点。注意“环保”可说“environmentally friendly”;“by not produce”应改为“by not producing”或换成更自然的句子;“the environment”前需要加定冠词。可具体提到骑自行车能减少汽车尾气,避免把“国家环保”作为缺少解释的笼统理由。
範例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. They are an environmentally friendly way to travel, especially for short journeys, because cycling helps reduce traffic and air pollution.
× Yeah, my mother bought a bike for me when I was three years ago because my best friends had a bike, so I wanted to have on bike.
✓ Yeah, my mother bought a bike for me when I was three years old because my best friends had a bike, so I wanted to have a bike.
表达年龄时应说“when I was three years old”,不能把“was three”与表示“……以前”的“ago”连用。记住:“three years old”表示年龄,“three years ago”表示某事发生在三年前。
× Yeah, my mother bought a bike for me when I was three years ago because my best friends had a bike, so I wanted to have on bike.
✓ Yeah, my mother bought a bike for me when I was three years old because my best friends had a bike, so I wanted to have a bike.
“on bike”中的“on”不能用作这里的冠词。单数可数名词“bike”前需要冠词,因此应说“a bike”。
× Yeah, I think it is because our country is eco friendly country.
✓ Yeah, I think it is because our country is an eco-friendly country.
“country”是单数可数名词,前面需要冠词。“eco-friendly”以元音音素开头,因此使用“an”:an eco-friendly country。
× So by not produce more emissions is friendly for environment.
✓ So, by not producing more emissions, cycling is friendly to the environment.
介词“by”后面的动词应使用 -ing 形式,所以“produce”应改为“producing”。可以记住结构“by + 动词-ing”,表示“通过做某事”。
× So by not produce more emissions is friendly for environment.
✓ So, by not producing more emissions, cycling is friendly to the environment.
原句以“by not produce more emissions”开头,但没有明确说明是谁或什么不排放,导致句子结构不完整。补上主语“cycling”,并让它与前面的方式状语对应,句子就完整了。
× So by not produce more emissions is friendly for environment.
✓ So, by not producing more emissions, cycling is friendly to the environment.
表达“对环境友好”时,通常使用“friendly to the environment”,而不是“friendly for environment”。请记住常见搭配“be friendly to”。
× So by not produce more emissions is friendly for environment.
✓ So, by not producing more emissions, cycling is friendly to the environment.
“environment”在这里指我们共同生活的自然环境,通常说“the environment”。在类似语境中,记得在“environment”前加定冠词“the”。
