自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your response repeats the examiner's question and turns it back as a question, so it does not answer or provide any information. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no) followed by one or two specific supporting details (age, type of bike, how you used it). Use linking words like “when” or “and” to connect ideas. Keep your answer natural and within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven and it was a small red bicycle with training wheels, which I used to ride around the neighbourhood every afternoon. Because I practised a lot, I learned to ride without training wheels by the time I was nine.

建議: This response simply repeats the examiner’s question and gives no opinion or details. Improve by stating your opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples (urban use, leisure, public bike schemes) and use linking words such as “because”, “for example” or “however”. Keep answers concise and natural.

範例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are bike-share schemes and many parks where families cycle at weekends, although car ownership is still common for longer journeys.

× Did you have a bike when you were outside when you were a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

This sentence repeats the temporal clause 'when you were' and includes an unnecessary phrase 'when you were outside' which makes the structure awkward and unclear. The examiner's question asks about possession during childhood, so the correct concise form is 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' Remove the redundant clause to improve clarity and grammaticality. Suggestion: keep only the relevant time phrase and avoid stacking similar clauses.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already grammatically correct and fits the present-tense general question about popularity. No correction is needed. Ensure to use the present simple for general statements and opinions about habitual or general facts.
