自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be accurate in tense and give a direct topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details. Use past tense for childhood and expand slightly (1–3 sentences) with linking words. For example, say whether you had a bike, describe it briefly, and mention how you used it.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used it to ride around my neighborhood every afternoon. Because I loved being outdoors, I practiced riding until I could go on longer trips with friends.

建議: Answer directly and clearly, then give specific reasons or examples using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid contradiction in the same answer — choose one clear stance (popular or not) and support it with details (e.g., urban cycling trends, bike lanes, or sales). Use correct subject-verb agreement and concise phrasing.

範例: I think bikes are becoming more popular in my country. For example, cities have built more bike lanes recently and many people choose cycling for short commutes because it is cheaper and healthier. Therefore, bike sales and commuter cycling have increased in the last few years.

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about a past condition ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student's reply should be in the past tense. Using 'do' (present) is inconsistent with the question. Change 'I do' to 'I did' to match past-time reference. Suggestion: use past simple for experiences completed in the past (I had / I did).

× I don't think so. These days the popularity of bikes have increased.

✓ I don't think so. These days the popularity of bikes has increased.

The phrase 'these days' indicates present time but describes a change that has occurred; 'popularity' is a singular noun, so it requires the singular verb 'has.' The original uses 'have,' which is plural and disagrees with the singular subject. Also, 'these days' can accept present perfect ('has increased') to show change up to now. Suggestion: use subject-verb agreement with singular 'popularity' and present perfect tense ('has increased') to indicate a recent change.
