自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Content and clarity: Your answer addresses the question but contains a pronunciation/word choice error (“heard” instead of “had”) and is slightly repetitive. To improve, correct the verb, start with a clear topic sentence, and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it concise (no more than 3–4 short sentences).

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In elementary school I practiced every day to learn how to ride, and within a few weeks I could ride confidently without training wheels.

建議: Clarity and grammar: Your answer is relevant but contains awkward phrasing (“very increasing”) and lacks a specific supporting detail. Improve by using correct collocations (e.g., “increasing” → “increasingly popular” or “the number is increasing”), add a reason or example with a linking word, and keep it concise.

範例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in Japan. For example, many people commute by bike because cities are compact, and consequently the number of cyclists has been increasing in recent years.

× Yes, I heard a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The verb 'heard' is incorrect in this context; the speaker means possession, which requires 'had'. This is a sentence structure/verb choice error (use of wrong verb). Suggestion: use verbs that match the intended meaning (have/had for possession).

× When I was an elementary school student, I practiced a lot to be able to ride a bicycle.

✓ When I was in elementary school, I practiced a lot so I could ride a bicycle.

'When I was an elementary school student' is grammatical but wordy; 'When I was in elementary school' is more natural. 'To be able to ride a bicycle' is correct but a smoother phrasing is 'so I could ride a bicycle.' This addresses sentence structure and clarity. Suggestion: prefer natural, concise expressions and match verb tense (past practiced → could).

× Yes, bikes are very popular in Japan.

✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular in Japan.

'Bikes' is informal but acceptable; changing to 'bicycles' is more formal and fits the register. This is optional and not strictly grammatical, so consider style improvement rather than a strict grammar rule. Suggestion: use 'bicycles' in formal responses.

× The number of people riding a bicycle is very increasing

✓ The number of people riding bicycles is increasing a lot.

'Is very increasing' is ungrammatical because 'increase' as an intransitive verb does not combine with 'very' in progressive form this way. Use 'is increasing' or 'has been increasing' and pluralize 'bicycles' to match general reference. Suggestion: say 'is increasing', 'has been increasing', or 'is increasing a lot' for emphasis.
