Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 48.0建議: 先直接回答是否有自行车,再按时间顺序补充年龄和学习经历。注意过去经历使用过去时,例如“got”或“learned”;“before the primary school”表达不自然,可说“before I started primary school”。避免重复和填充词,并补完整结尾,例如说明最后是否学会了。
範例: Yes, I had my own bike before I started primary school. I was about six when my father taught me how to ride it. It took us the whole afternoon, and although it was quite difficult at first, I eventually learned.

✓ I remember I had my own bike when I was about six, before I started primary school.
“Since”通常表示从过去某个时间开始并持续到现在,通常与现在完成时连用。这里是在回忆童年已经结束的经历,用“when I was about six”表达过去的时间更合适。回答时可使用“when”说明过去发生的时间,避免将“since”与一般过去时“I had”搭配。

泛指上小学这一教育阶段时,通常说“before primary school”,不在“primary school”前加定冠词“the”。如果指某一所特定的小学,才可以使用“the primary school”。
