Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
Bikes are very popular in our country 'cause we have many public bikes around the street. Every time we go to the train station we can ride the bike and people usually use bikes for as their daily transportation.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 42.0建議: 先直接回答是否有自行车,再说明原因。注意谈论童年时使用过去时,例如“didn’t have”和“couldn’t afford”;避免重复“poor”,并用更自然、具体的表达说明家庭当时的经济情况。
範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family didn’t have much money, so my parents couldn’t afford one. I usually walked to school or played with friends near my home instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 63.0建議: 回答切题,也提供了公共自行车和日常出行的例子。建议把“'cause”换成较正式的“because”,并将“around the street”改为“on the streets”或“available throughout the city”;“use bikes for as”语法不正确,可说“use bikes as”。可补充具体用途,让回答更自然连贯。
範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Public bikes are available on many streets, so people can easily rent one near a train station. Many commuters use them for short trips because they’re convenient and inexpensive.
× In my generation, we don't have a bike at that age, we're super poor, poor.
✓ In my generation, we didn't have a bike at that age; we were super poor.
这句话描述的是童年时期的情况,应使用一般过去时。将“don't have”改为“didn't have”,将“we're”改为“we were”。“poor”重复属于口语重复,不是所列语法问题,因此不作为语法错误处理。
× So my parents cannot provide me a bike.
✓ So my parents couldn't provide me a bike.
句子讲的是过去童年时的情况,因此情态动词“can”应使用过去式“could”,即“couldn't”。
× Bikes are very popular in our country 'cause we have many public bikes around the street.
✓ Bikes are very popular in our country 'cause we have many public bikes on the streets.
这里表达公共自行车分布在街道上,用“on the streets”更合适;“around the street”在此处介词搭配不自然。
× Every time we go to the train station we can ride the bike.
✓ Every time we go to the train station, we can ride a public bike.
这里泛指可以骑的公共自行车,并非前文已明确提到的某一辆车,因此不宜用定冠词“the”。可以用“a public bike”表示任意一辆公共自行车。
× People usually use bikes for as their daily transportation.
✓ People usually use bikes as their daily transportation.
“use ... as ...”表示“把……用作……”。“as”前不需要再加“for”,因此应删除“for”。
