自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be careful with verb tense and expand your answer. The question asks about the past, so use past tense ('I didn't have a bike'). Give a brief reason or short detail to make the answer natural and informative, and keep it to no more than five sentences. Use linking words if you add more than one idea (for example, 'because' or 'so').

範例: I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn't afford one. As a result, I usually walked to school or took public transport, which made me enjoy walking with friends.

建議: Organize and tighten your response: use present-tense general statement, then give two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh) and redundant phrasing. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'commute' instead of 'go to works') and correct small grammar issues ('we couldn't afford one' should be past but clarify speaker's position). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them to commute. For example, students ride bikes to school and workers often cycle to their jobs to save money and avoid traffic. However, my family couldn't afford one when I was young, so I usually walked instead.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The question asked about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student should use the past tense in the short negative answer. Using 'don't' (present tense) is incorrect. Use 'didn't' which is the contracted form of 'did not' to match the past tense context.

× Yes, they are popular because, uh, our neighbors and everyone have one, but we couldn't afford that bike.

✓ Yes, they are popular because, uh, our neighbors and everyone had one, but we couldn't afford a bike.

The student mixes present ('are popular') with past possession ('we couldn't afford that bike') and uses 'have one' (present) while referring to a past situation. If speaking about when they were a child, possessions should be past: 'had one'. Also 'that bike' is too specific; use 'a bike' for general affordability. Maintain consistent time reference.

× Uh, they used to go to, they used the bike to go to schools, works and everything.

✓ Uh, they used to use the bike to go to school, work and everything.

The original repeats 'used' awkwardly and uses plural nouns 'schools' and 'works' incorrectly in this context. Use the expression 'used to' + base verb: 'used to use the bike'. Common collocations are 'go to school' and 'go to work' (singular, uncountable in this sense). Also remove the redundant phrase 'go to,' consolidating the sentence for clarity.
