I don't think so. I'm really bad at geography at high school and I often get confused by maps and locations. It just have so much data and details that I need to remember so I don't feel confident teaching it.

× I was really interested in geography at high school, but I struggled with it because the exams are extremely challenging and I did poorly in them.
✓ I was really interested in geography at high school, but I struggled with it because the exams were extremely challenging and I did poorly in them.
句子中描述过去的情形,应保持时态一致。前半句用过去时“was/struggled”,但原句中“are extremely challenging”用的是现在时,与上下文时间不一致。应将“are”改为过去式“were”。建议:当描述过去经历或过去的情况时,句中所有与该时间相关的谓语动词都应使用过去时。
× Yes, definitely. Geography broadens your horizons and helps you understand different countries, cultures and environment, which is useful when traveling or working internationally.
✓ Yes, definitely. Geography broadens your horizons and helps you understand different countries, cultures and environments, which is useful when traveling or working internationally.
这里是在一般现在时描述地理的一般特点,时态本身正确,但名词“environment”在列举多个项时应使用复数“environments”以与前面的“countries, cultures”保持平行和一致。建议:列举多项时保持各项形式一致(可都用复数或都用单数视语义而定)。
× Yes, I studied geography at a secondary school and high school because it was a required subject for university entrance exams so I had to take it.
✓ Yes, I studied geography at a secondary school and high school because it was a required subject for university entrance exams, so I had to take it.
主要问题不是时态,但句子在连词处缺少逗号会影响可读性。时态为过去时,前后保持一致,故仅建议加入逗号分隔原因从句。建议:在复合句中用逗号分隔主句和结果/原因从句,提高可读性。
× I don't think so. I'm really bad at geography at high school and I often get confused by maps and locations. It just have so much data and details that I need to remember so I don't feel confident teaching it.
✓ I don't think so. I was really bad at geography in high school and I often got confused by maps and locations. It just had so much data and detail that I needed to remember, so I didn't feel confident teaching it.
该回答描述过去的能力/经历,应使用过去时:将“I'm really bad at geography at high school”改为“I was really bad at geography in high school”。此外“have”与主语“It”(指学科)在过去时应为“had”;“data and details”中“details”可以改为不可数名词“detail”更自然,也可保留复数,但要与时态一致。原句中还存在介词用法问题,“at high school”在英语中更常用“in high school”。建议:描述过去经历时将相关动词改为过去式,并使用自然的介词搭配(in high school)。
× Yes, I think so, especially when I plan to travel to another country. For example, last winter I went to South Korea with a friend and we learned a lot of about its geography, such as the major cities, uh, regional differences and the transfer routes.
✓ Yes, I think so, especially when I plan to travel to another country. For example, last winter I went to South Korea with a friend and we learned a lot about its geography, such as the major cities, regional differences and the transport routes.
句首现在时“I think so, especially when I plan to travel”正确。问题出在“learned a lot of about its geography”中多了介词“of”,应为“learned a lot about”。此外“transfer routes”用词不自然,应改为“transport routes”(交通路线)或“transfer routes”若指换乘路线,但一般谈国家地理时用“transport routes”更合适。建议:注意固定搭配,如“learn a lot about sth.”;选择更常用的名词搭配(transport routes)。
