Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 65.0建議: 回答直接,但时态需要与过去的提问保持一致:用“Yes, I did”,而不是“Yes, I have”。后一句可避免重复使用“bike”,并补充一个具体细节,例如你们常去哪里骑车。
範例: Yes, I did. I had a pink bike when I was a child, and I often rode it with my friends around our neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 48.0建議: 观点明确,也给出了价格方面的原因,但有几处语法问题:“a very popular”应改为“very popular”,“need may tend to”应删去多余表达,“much more cheap”应改为“much cheaper”。建议用“they are”指代复数的自行车,并补充一个具体用途,让答案更自然。
範例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. They’re much cheaper than cars, so many people use them for short commutes, especially in crowded cities.
× Yes I have.
✓ Yes, I did.
问题问的是过去的经历(Did you have…?),回答时应使用过去时助动词 did,而不是现在完成时助动词 have。回答过去时的一般疑问句时,可用“Yes, I did.”或“No, I didn’t.”。
× Yes, I think it is a very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they need may tend to buy a bike which is a much more cheap.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they may choose to buy a bike, which is much cheaper.
问题谈论的是复数 bikes,因此用单数代词 it 不合适。可以直接用 bikes 作主语,或用复数代词 they。修改后的句子用“bikes are”表达“自行车很受欢迎”。
× Yes, I think it is a very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they need may tend to buy a bike which is a much more cheap.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they may choose to buy a bike, which is much cheaper.
“popular”是形容词,不能在没有名词的情况下直接说“a very popular”。这里应去掉 a,改为“very popular”。如果要保留 a,则后面需要接名词,例如“a very popular choice”。
× Yes, I think it is a very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they need may tend to buy a bike which is a much more cheap.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they may choose to buy a bike, which is much cheaper.
“need”和“may”不能在这里连续作为情态动词使用。根据句意,可用“may choose to”(可能选择)表达可能性;也可以写成“need to buy”(需要购买),但不能写成“need may tend”。
× Yes, I think it is a very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they need may tend to buy a bike which is a much more cheap.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because a great number of people cannot afford to buy a car, so they may choose to buy a bike, which is much cheaper.
“cheap”是单音节形容词,比较级通常加 -er,写作“cheaper”,不能说“more cheap”。“much”可以放在比较级前加强程度,因此应说“much cheaper”。
