Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 48.0建議: Be more direct and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question (e.g. "No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child."). Remove filler words (uh, um) and avoid repetition. Then add one or two specific supporting details linked with a connector (e.g. "because" or "so") explaining why, and keep it within 3–4 sentences. Use correct nouns and plural/singular forms ("a scooter" not "things").
範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I always wanted one but my family couldn’t afford it at the time, so I used to borrow bikes from neighbors. Now I still dream of owning a scooter because it would make my daily commute easier.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 78.0建議: Good direct answer and relevant examples. To improve, add a linking phrase to introduce the example (e.g. "For instance"), correct minor grammar (use "cost-effective" and "traffic congestion/traffic"), and include one more specific detail such as where bikes are common or a brief comparison with other transport. Keep it concise (2–3 sentences).
範例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cost-effective and convenient for short journeys. For instance, students and office workers often ride bicycles to commute to school or work to save money and avoid traffic congestion, especially in city centers.

The sentence mixes present and past incorrectly. Use past tense 'did not have' to match 'when I was a child' (Present tense issue, ID 6). Also 'nowadays it's my dream things' is ungrammatical: use 'nowadays it is my dream to have one' and remove filler words. Suggestion: keep tense consistent, avoid fillers like 'uh', and use 'dream to have one' for clarity.

Missing hyphen in the compound adjective 'cost-effective' which describes 'way' (Article errors, ID 22). Also maintain adjective form; hyphenation clarifies the compound modifier. Suggestion: use 'cost-effective' with a hyphen when placed before the noun it modifies.
× For example, students and office workers often use bicycles for short commutes to save on transport costs and avoid traffic condition.
✓ For example, students and office workers often use bicycles for short commutes to save on transport costs and avoid traffic congestion.
'Traffic condition' is incorrect collocation; the correct noun is 'traffic congestion' or 'traffic conditions' (Singular and plural issue / incorrect collocation, ID 1). Here 'congestion' is the right term meaning heavy traffic. Suggestion: use common collocations like 'traffic congestion' or, if plural, 'traffic conditions'.
