自行车— Part 1 评分报告

建议: Answer directly in the past tense: say “Yes, I did,” not “Yes, I do.” Keep the verb tenses consistent by using “had,” “made,” and “rode.” The phrase “a really good sound” is unclear; explain what was special about the bike instead. Use a linking word such as “and” or “because” to connect your supporting details naturally.

示例: Yes, I did. I had a pink bike that made a lovely ringing sound. I often rode it around the yard with my friends, and we had a lot of fun together.

建议: Give a clear answer about your country rather than beginning with the unclear phrase “No, it’s not in my city.” Say that bikes are not very popular, then explain why. Use accurate phrases such as “there are too many cars,” “there are few cycle lanes,” and “cycling can be unsafe.” Avoid repetition such as “bikers,” “bicycle,” and “bikes,” and divide the long sentence into two or three shorter sentences.

示例: No, bikes are not very popular in my country, especially in large cities. There are too many cars and very few dedicated cycle lanes, so cycling can be unsafe and uncomfortable. As a result, most people prefer to travel by car or public transport.

The subject is bikes, which is plural, so use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are. The pronoun it refers to one singular thing and cannot refer to bikes in this sentence.

× And in a country, the cars are everywhere.

✓ In my country, cars are everywhere.

Use my country because you are referring to the specific country where you live. Also, cars is being used in a general sense, so it does not need the definite article the.

× There is no place for the bikers to ride their bicycle or bikes.

✓ There is no place for cyclists to ride their bicycles.

The plural subject cyclists needs the plural noun bicycles when referring to bicycles in general. Avoid combining a singular noun, bicycle, with a plural alternative, bikes, in this structure.
