Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 60.0建議: 回答切题,也给出了原因,但需要注意过去时:谈童年经历时应使用“didn’t have”,而不是“don’t have”。“picked me up to school”表达不自然,可改为“drove me to school”或“picked me up and took me to school”。最后一句重复了前面的意思,建议删掉,并补充一个具体细节,例如你是否曾羡慕骑车上学的同学。
範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my dad usually drove me to school. I sometimes envied my classmates who rode their bikes, though.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 70.0建議: 回答直接,也用调查数据支撑观点。建议在“according to a survey”前后加标点或连接词,让句子更清楚;“60% of citizens”后面的动词应使用复数“own”。还可以补充一个具体原因或场景,例如台湾有许多自行车道,或人们会骑车通勤、休闲。
範例: Yes, cycling is quite popular in Taiwan. According to a survey, about 60% of people own a bicycle, and many ride along the dedicated bike paths for exercise or commuting.
× I don't have a bike in my childhood because my dad always picked me up to school.
✓ I didn't have a bike during my childhood because my dad always took me to school.
这里说的是童年时期的情况,时间发生在过去,因此应将“I don't have”改为“I didn't have”。另外,“picked me up to school”不符合“送我去学校”的表达;可说“took me to school”。
× I don't have a bike in my childhood because my dad always picked me up to school.
✓ I didn't have a bike during my childhood because my dad always took me to school.
“pick someone up”通常表示“接某人”,不能用“to school”表达“送某人去学校”。这里应说“took me to school”。谈论童年往事时,也应使用过去时“didn't have”。
× That's why I don't have a bike.
✓ That's why I didn't have a bike.
这句话承接的是童年时期的经历,因此应使用过去时“didn't have”,而不是现在时“don't have”。
× Cycling is very popular in Taiwan, according to a survey about 60% of citizens owns bicycles.
✓ Cycling is very popular in Taiwan. According to a survey, about 60% of citizens own bicycles.
原句用逗号连接两个完整句子,造成逗号拼接。应使用句号分开,并在句首的“According to a survey”之后加逗号。
× Cycling is very popular in Taiwan, according to a survey about 60% of citizens owns bicycles.
✓ Cycling is very popular in Taiwan. According to a survey, about 60% of citizens own bicycles.
主语是复数名词“citizens”,谓语动词应使用原形“own”,不能使用第三人称单数形式“owns”。
