自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is clear and relevant, but a bit long and slightly repetitive. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Avoid redundancy ("bicycle" and "bike" meanings repeated) and keep sentences concise (max 5). Also vary vocabulary a little (e.g., "couldn't afford" → "couldn't afford to buy one").

範例: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my parents couldn’t afford to buy one. As a result, I walked to school every day and ran errands on foot, which meant I was quite fit by the time I was a teenager.

建議: Good concise answer and clear reason given. Improve by adding a linking word and a specific example or comparison to strengthen the response. Use slightly more formal phrasing (e.g., "more affordable" instead of "less expensive").

範例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in Ghana because they are more affordable than motor vehicles. For example, many market traders and students use bikes daily since they are cheaper to run and quicker than crowded buses.

× Well, growing up I never had a bicycle because my parents couldn't afford one.

✓ Well, growing up I never had a bicycle because my parents couldn't afford one.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses past simple to describe a past situation. Keep as is.

× They were very expensive in my area and as a result I used to walk to school and for all errands.

✓ They were very expensive in my area, so as a result I used to walk to school and do all errands.

The original sentence is mostly correct but has a slight collocation problem: English typically uses 'do errands' rather than 'for all errands.' Also adding a comma before 'so' or using 'so' improves flow. Tense 'were' and 'used to' correctly describe past habitual situations.

× Yes, bicycles are so common in Ghana because they are less expensive and lots of people prefer it to public transport.

✓ Yes, bicycles are so common in Ghana because they are less expensive and lots of people prefer them to public transport.

The pronoun 'it' is incorrect because it refers back to the plural noun 'bicycles.' Use the plural pronoun 'them' for correct subject-pronoun agreement. The rest of the sentence correctly uses present simple to describe a general fact.
