自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be clearer and use correct tense and word choice. Start with a direct topic sentence, e.g. say you had a bike, then give one or two short supporting details (who gave it, what you used it for). Use past tense consistently and avoid incorrect words like “bothered.” Link ideas with a short connector if needed.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me, and I used it to ride around the neighborhood after school. I enjoyed cycling with friends on weekends, which helped me feel independent.

建議: Make the response more fluent, use plural forms and better linking phrases, and give specific examples of why bikes are popular. Keep it to 2–4 sentences, use present simple for general facts, and avoid filler words like “umm.”

範例: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country. For example, I often see many people riding bikes on the streets because they are an affordable and convenient way to commute, and some people also ride for exercise or leisure.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the sentence should be in past tense. Using 'have' (present) is incorrect for a past context. Use past tense 'had' to match the time reference. Suggestion: Change present-tense verbs to past tense when talking about past situations (e.g., 'I had a bike when I was a child').

× When I was a child it was bothered by my father.

✓ When I was a child my father taught me to ride it.

The original sentence uses a passive and 'bothered' which is incorrect and unclear. The intended meaning is likely that the father helped or taught the child to ride the bike. Use an active verb phrase 'taught me to ride it' and place the agent (my father) before the verb for clarity. Suggestion: Express actions in active voice with appropriate verbs (taught/helped) for clear meaning. Grammar problem type IDs: 5 (Past tense issue), 26 (Sentence structure errors).

× I do think that bike is popular in my country.

✓ I do think that bikes are popular in my country.

The general statement about popularity should use plural 'bikes' and plural verb 'are' to express a general truth. 'That bike is popular' refers to a specific bike; here the student means bikes in general. Use plural noun and matching plural verb for generalizations. Grammar problem type ID:1 (Singular and plural issue) and 27 (Subject-verb agreement errors).

× Umm, when I go downstairs, go down the street, I saw a lot of people riding a bicycle and umm, some of them may use this as a transportation, some of them may.

✓ When I go downstairs and walk down the street, I see a lot of people riding bicycles; some of them use them as transportation.

This sentence mixes present and past tenses ('go' present, 'saw' past) and uses singular 'a bicycle' and awkward modal 'may' without finishing. To describe habitual observation, keep present tense consistently ('go' -> 'see'), use plural 'bicycles' and plural pronoun 'them' for bikes, and replace uncertain 'may' with simple present 'use' for general habits. Also 'transportation' does not need the article 'a' here. Suggestion: Maintain consistent tense for habitual actions (use simple present), use matching plural forms, and complete thoughts without trailing modals.
