自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is relevant and personal, but it is slightly repetitive and contains hesitations. To improve, provide a clear topic sentence, one or two specific supporting details (when, where, who taught you, memorable moment), use linking words to connect ideas, and avoid repeating phrases. Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. On weekends my dad and I would ride to a nearby park with a paved cycling track, where he taught me how to balance and steer. As a result, I became quite confident riding, although I rarely cycle now so I’ve lost some of that skill.

建議: Good direct answer and relevant reasons, but avoid filler sounds and make the supporting detail more specific and structured. Start with a clear opinion, then give two specific reasons or examples (culture, infrastructure, weather, safety), and use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' to make it coherent.

範例: No, I don't think bicycles are very popular as a mode of transport in my country. For example, most people prefer cars or public transport because cities lack safe bike lanes and distances between places are often too long for cycling.

× I used to have a bike as a child and on the weekends I used to go out to a park with the bike rails with my dad and I used to practice riding it.

✓ I used to have a bike as a child and on weekends I used to go to a park with the bike rails with my dad and practice riding it.

The sentence is grammatically acceptable but wordy and uses repetitive 'used to'. The issue falls under 'Verb in the present participle form' because the phrase 'practice riding it' uses the -ing form correctly, but the sentence would be clearer by reducing repetition and simplifying verb phrases. Suggestion: remove redundant 'to' after 'go out' (use 'go to a park') and combine verbs ('and practice riding it') to improve fluency and reduce repetition.

× So I was I was quite good at it, but now I'm not really good at it anymore.

✓ I was quite good at it, but now I'm not really good at it anymore.

The original contains a repeated fragment 'I was I was', which is a speech disfluency rather than a tense error. Correcting the repetition results in a clear past vs present contrast: 'I was' (past) and 'now I'm not' (present). Suggestion: remove the duplicated words and keep consistent tense contrast between past ability and present inability.

× No, I don't think it is quite popular in my country, especially as a transportation.

✓ No, I don't think they are very popular in my country, especially as a means of transportation.

The original uses singular 'it' to refer to 'bikes', which is plural; this causes a subject-pronoun number mismatch. Also 'as a transportation' is unidiomatic: 'transportation' is uncountable and needs a modifier such as 'means of transportation'. Suggestion: use plural pronoun 'they' to match 'bikes' and the phrase 'means of transportation' to express the intended idea.

× MMM, in my country people tend to use cars or public transportation such as buses or metros more often than the bike.

✓ In my country people tend to use cars or public transportation such as buses or metros more often than bikes.

The phrase 'the bike' incorrectly uses the definite article with a general plural concept. When comparing general modes of travel, use the plural noun without 'the' ('bikes') or use 'the bicycle' if referring to bicycles in general as a class, but then keep number agreement. Suggestion: remove 'the' and use plural 'bikes' to make a correct general comparison.
