自行车— Part 1 评分报告

建议: Answer directly and avoid repeating “because” and “my mother.” Use the past tense “wouldn’t let us” because you are describing a childhood rule. Add one specific detail about your mother’s accident or how it affected your family’s attitude toward bikes, while keeping the answer to two or three sentences.

示例: No, I didn’t. My mother wouldn’t let us have bikes because she had been involved in a serious cycling accident when she was younger. As a result, she thought bikes were too dangerous for children.

建议: State your opinion more naturally by saying “bikes aren’t very popular” instead of “bike is not that popular.” Use the plural form consistently and provide a specific reason or comparison. You could also mention that bicycles are more common in certain areas, such as cities or rural communities, to make your answer more developed.

示例: I don’t think bicycles are very popular in the Philippines. Most people prefer motorcycles and cars because they are more convenient for travelling long distances, especially in hot weather. However, bicycles are becoming more common among people who exercise or commute in smaller cities.

× No, I never had a bike because my mother won't let us get a bike for ourselves because my mother had an accident when we were a kid.

✓ No, I never had a bike because my mother wouldn't let us get one because she had an accident when we were kids.

The question asks about a past situation, so the past form wouldn't is needed instead of the present form won't. The plural noun kids is more appropriate because the speaker uses us to refer to more than one person. The pronoun one avoids unnecessarily repeating bike, and she avoids repeating my mother.

× I think bike is not that popular because we mostly use motorcycles and cars here in the Philippines.

✓ I think bikes are not that popular because we mostly use motorcycles and cars here in the Philippines.

When talking about bikes in general, use the plural noun bikes and the plural verb are. The singular form bike would normally need an article, such as a bike, and would refer to one specific bike.
