自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is short and direct but slightly confusing: you say “No” then state you had a bicycle, which contradicts. Be clear and expand slightly with one supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it natural and avoid redundancy.

範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child; instead, I had a small bicycle with training wheels that I used around my neighborhood. For example, I rode it to my friend’s house every weekend, which helped me become more confident on two wheels.

建議: Your answer communicates the idea but contains hesitations and some redundancy. Remove filler words, make the topic sentence clear, and add a specific supporting detail (e.g., who uses them, why, or a statistic). Use a linking word to connect ideas and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for daily commuting. For instance, office workers and students often cycle to work or school to avoid traffic, and some cities have dedicated bike lanes which makes cycling convenient and safe.

× The bikes are really, uh, popular in my country because many people do have bikes and they use it to travel to their workplaces.

✓ Bikes are really popular in my country because many people have bikes and use them to travel to their workplaces.

The original sentence has several issues: unnecessary definite article 'The' before 'bikes' (article error/awkwardness), unnecessary auxiliary 'do' for simple present affirmative (third person plural subject 'people' does not require 'do'), incorrect pronoun 'it' referring to plural 'bikes' (pronoun error), and redundant wording 'they use it' which should be 'they use them'. According to the allowed problem types, the main corrections involve verb form/usage and pronoun/article usage. Suggested improvements: remove 'The' when speaking generally about a category, drop the emphatic 'do' in affirmative statements ('people have' not 'people do have'), and match pronoun number to the noun ('them' for bikes). Also streamline by omitting filler words like 'uh'.

× So yeah, it is popular.

✓ So yeah, they are popular.

The pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers back to 'bikes', which is plural. This causes a subject-pronoun mismatch. Replace 'it' with 'they' and use the plural verb 'are' to agree with the plural noun. Alternatively, keep 'it' only if referring to 'cycling as an activity' (e.g., 'So yeah, it is popular.'), but in this context the student refers to 'bikes', so 'they are popular' is correct.
