Did you have a bike when you were a child?
考生
Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small bright red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for me on my 6th birthday and I used it every afternoon to ride around the neighborhood riding. The riding that bike helped me me gain confidence and independence and I were ever working until.

分數: 62.0建議: Be more concise, correct grammar mistakes, avoid repetition, and use coherent linking. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb tenses and pronouns (e.g., "helped me gain," not "helped me me" or "I were"). Keep the response to no more than five sentences.
範例: Yes, I had a small bright red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought me for my sixth birthday. I rode it every afternoon around the neighborhood, and this regular practice helped me gain confidence and independence. As a result, I learned to balance and eventually rode without the training wheels by myself.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 48.0建議: Give a direct answer, then support it with specific reasons and examples while removing filler words like "umm" and redundant phrases. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "for example", "also") and be specific about who uses bikes and why (commuting, exercise, cost). Keep to two or three sentences maximum.
範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. For example, many teenagers and commuters use bicycles to get to school or work, and cycling is also popular for exercise and leisure on weekends.
× Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
Using 'did have' is grammatically acceptable but redundant; the simple past 'had' is more natural in this context. Use simple past for completed actions in the past.
× It was a small bright red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for me on my 6th birthday and I used it every afternoon to ride around the neighborhood riding.
✓ It was a small, bright red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for me on my sixth birthday, and I used it every afternoon to ride around the neighborhood.
Missing comma between coordinate adjectives 'small' and 'bright red' and awkward repeated 'riding'. Also write 'sixth' in words for style. Remove the extra 'riding' to avoid redundancy and place a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses.
× The riding that bike helped me me gain confidence and independence and I were ever working until.
✓ Riding that bike helped me gain confidence and independence, and I kept practising until I felt comfortable.
Original has pronoun repetition 'me me', incorrect verb form 'were', and unclear phrasing 'ever working until'. Use gerund 'Riding' as subject, remove duplicate pronoun, use past tense 'helped' with base verb 'gain', and replace unclear clause with 'kept practising until I felt comfortable' to convey continuous past effort. Ensure subject-verb agreement and logical sentence structure.
× Umm yes, I think that bikes are popular in my country because people like using bicycles by using bikes, umm especially teenagers that help them.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because people like using bicycles, especially teenagers.
Redundant phrases 'using bicycles by using bikes' and awkward clause 'that help them'. Simplify to clear present tense statement. Use 'bikes are popular' (present simple) to indicate a general truth. Remove fillers 'Umm' and the unnecessary clause to improve clarity.
