自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Reduce repetition, make a clear topic sentence, and organize details with linking words. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences) and avoid redundant phrases like “I did” twice and filler words such as “yeah.” Add a specific detail (age, a memorable event) to strengthen the answer and use one or two linking words (e.g., “after that,” “then”).

範例: Yes, I had a bike as a child. It didn’t have training wheels, so at first I fell a few times, but after a few weeks I learned to ride confidently. Then I would cycle with my friends around the neighbourhood every afternoon, which was one of my favourite memories from childhood.

建議: Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repeating phrases like “in my country” and final filler “yeah.” Use linking words (e.g., “however,” “because”) to contrast groups and provide a specific reason or statistic if possible. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., “common,” “prevalent,” “older generation”).

範例: Bikes are fairly popular among children in my country, but far less so among adults. This is mainly because motorcycles and cars are more convenient for commuting, so many adults prefer them. However, cycling is becoming slightly more common among young people for recreation and fitness.

× I did. I did have a bike when I was a child that came without training wheels and there were a bunch of times when I fell down and then I got to a point where I could remove the training wheels and I was off on my bike with my friends for a long time.

✓ I did. I had a bike when I was a child that came without training wheels, and there were many times when I fell down, but then I reached a point where I could remove the training wheels and I rode my bike with my friends for a long time.

The original uses 'did have' unnecessarily; simple past 'had' is more natural for possession in past contexts. 'I got to a point' is informal; 'I reached a point' is clearer. 'I was off on my bike' is awkward—use simple past 'I rode my bike'. Also replace 'a bunch of times' with 'many times' for more standard register. These changes keep correct past tense and use appropriate verbs in past participle/past form where needed. Suggestion: use simple past for past possession and actions, choose standard expressions ('many times', 'reached a point', 'rode') to improve clarity.

× I would say so among kids, yeah, but I don't see a lot of adults riding bikes in my country probably because it is a lot more convenient to use motorcycles and it's widely used in my country.

✓ I would say so among kids, but I don't see many adults riding bikes in my country, probably because it is much more convenient to use motorcycles and they are widely used in my country.

The original mixes singular and plural pronouns awkwardly: 'it's widely used' refers to 'motorcycles' which is plural, so use 'they are widely used'. Also replace 'a lot' with 'many' for countable 'adults'. Removing redundant 'yeah' and adding commas improves flow. Suggestion: ensure pronoun number agrees with the noun it replaces and use appropriate quantifiers for countable nouns.

× So bikes are not as popular among the older generation but definitely more popular among the younger ones yeah.

✓ So bikes are not as popular among the older generation, but they are definitely more popular among the younger ones.

The original tags 'yeah' informally and omits the subject for the second clause. Adding 'they are' clarifies the subject and maintains subject-verb agreement. Also add a comma before 'but' for clarity. Suggestion: include explicit subject and verb in coordinated clauses to avoid ambiguity and ensure agreement.
