Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 先直接回答问题，再补充一两个具体细节。 “because I’m the only child”与“有自行车”之间的因果关系不够清楚，可以删除，或说明自行车是家人买给你的。避免重复使用 “when I was a child” 和句末的 “yes”；“in my family”比“in my house”更自然。

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought me a small one, and I often rode it with my cousins in the park at weekends.

Suggestion: 明确回答后，用具体例子说明自行车为什么受欢迎。注意语法和搭配：泛指时用复数 “bikes”；“a popular form of transport”比“a popular transportation”自然；主谓一致应为“people love”。可将不清楚的“they had you bike”改为“the YouBike bike-sharing scheme”，并减少“you know”和重复表达。

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Taiwan, especially in Taipei. The city has a public bike-sharing scheme called YouBike, which makes it easy for people to get around. Many people also cycle for exercise in their free time.

× I think bike is a really popular transportation in Taiwan because you know, in Taipei, Taiwan, this kind of urban city, they had you bike that can share with the public to ride the bike together.

✓ I think bikes are a really popular means of transportation in Taiwan because, in Taipei, an urban city, they have a YouBike system that people can use.

这里泛指自行车时，单数可数名词 bike 不能单独使用，应改为复数 bikes。句中也应使用复数谓语 are。修改后的 “a really popular means of transportation” 是更符合语法的表达，其中 means 表示“一种方式”。

× I think bike is a really popular transportation in Taiwan because you know, in Taipei, Taiwan, this kind of urban city, they had you bike that can share with the public to ride the bike together.

✓ I think bikes are a really popular means of transportation in Taiwan because, in Taipei, an urban city, they have a YouBike system that people can use.

这里描述的是台湾目前的公共自行车服务，属于一般事实，应使用一般现在时。had 是过去式，应改为 have。

× I think bike is a really popular transportation in Taiwan because you know, in Taipei, Taiwan, this kind of urban city, they had you bike that can share with the public to ride the bike together.

✓ I think bikes are a really popular means of transportation in Taiwan because, in Taipei, an urban city, they have a YouBike system that can be used by the public.

原句中的 “that can share with the public” 表示 YouBike 自己去分享，主语和动作关系不正确。应使用被动语态 “can be used by the public”，表示公众可以使用这项服务。

× And yes, people in Taiwan loves to ride the bike in their free time, yes.

✓ And yes, people in Taiwan love to ride bikes in their free time.

主语 people 是复数，因此一般现在时的谓语动词应使用原形 love，而不是第三人称单数形式 loves。泛指自行车时，用复数 bikes 更自然。
