自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, respond directly with a brief topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific supporting details (age, who gave it to you, how often you rode it). Use linking words (for example, because, so, when) to connect ideas. Keep the answer natural and within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven from my parents, and I used to ride it to school most days. Because the roads near my house were quiet, I felt safe practicing tricks with my friends on weekends.

建議: The answer addresses the question and includes relevant details, but it has hesitations, minor grammatical errors, and some redundancy. To improve: start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, they are very popular”), then give specific supporting details (statistics or typical household ownership), explain reasons (cost, convenience, traffic), and avoid fillers (uh, so). Use linking words like because and therefore to make the response coherent. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many households own two or three two-wheelers because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. Also, since a driving license is required from age 18, young people often learn to ride early, which helps maintain the popularity.

× Yeah, bikes are more popular in my country and many household contain two to three, uh, two Wheelers in their own houses.

✓ Yeah, bikes are very popular in my country and many households contain two to three two-wheelers.

The noun 'household' should be plural 'households' to match 'many'. Also 'two Wheelers' should be written 'two-wheelers' and 'more popular' is unnecessary without a comparison; 'very popular' is clearer. Ensure noun number agrees with quantifiers and use consistent capitalization and hyphenation.

× And, uh, the main thing is that for, uh, riding a bike, everyone should have a driving license And, uh, we can only take that, uh, only after, uh, 18 years old.

✓ The main thing is that to ride a bike, everyone should have a driving licence, and we can only get that after we are 18 years old.

Use the infinitive 'to ride' instead of the gerund 'riding' after 'for' removed for natural phrasing. 'Take' is unnatural for obtaining a licence; use 'get' or 'obtain'. Also include a subject in 'after we are 18 years old' rather than just 'after 18 years old'. Use 'licence' (British) or 'license' (American) consistently.

× So yeah, it's very popular in my country.

✓ So, yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

The original pronoun 'it' is vague; specify 'bikes' to make the sentence clear and maintain coherence with the previous sentences. Also 'yeah' is informal; 'yes' is more appropriate in test speech. This fixes pronoun reference and improves clarity.
