Did you have a bike when you were a child?
考生
Yes, I had a small blue bicycle when I was about 8 years old. My father taught me to write it in a quiet park near our home. At first I was afraid of falling, but after a few weekends I became confident. I often Rd. with my friends after school, so I have very happy memories of that bike.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country, especially for short journeys. In many cities you can rent a shared bike with your phone, which is convenient and inexpensive. People often cycled to the nearest train station or ride in parks on weekends. I think cycling is a good way to exercise and reduce traffic.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 78.0建議: Correct small errors and improve clarity and fluency. Begin with a clear topic sentence, correct vocabulary mistakes (use 'ride' instead of 'write' and expand 'Rd.' to 'rode'), and avoid minor redundancy. Add one specific detail (e.g., what you did with friends or a memorable incident) and use a simple linking word to show sequence (e.g., 'then' or 'after that'). Keep responses to no more than five sentences.
範例: Yes. I had a small blue bicycle when I was about eight. My father taught me to ride it in a quiet park near our home, and at first I was afraid of falling, but after a few weekends I became confident. After that I often rode with my friends after school, racing along the river path, so I have very happy memories of that bike.

分數: 85.0建議: Make verb tenses consistent and add a specific example to support your points. Start with a direct topic sentence, then use linking words (for example, moreover, for instance) to connect supporting details. Replace mixed past/present forms (e.g., 'cycled' -> 'cycle') and give one precise example or statistic if possible to strengthen the answer.

× My father taught me to write it in a quiet park near our home.
✓ My father taught me to ride it in a quiet park near our home.
The verb 'write' is incorrect in this context; when learning to use a bicycle the correct verb is 'ride'. This is a vocabulary/verb collocation error rather than a tense error. Suggestion: use verbs that collocate with the activity (ride a bike, learn to ride).
× I often Rd. with my friends after school, so I have very happy memories of that bike.
✓ I often rode with my friends after school, so I have very happy memories of that bike.
'Rd.' appears to be an incorrect abbreviation or typo. In a past-time narrative, use the past tense 'rode' (past of 'ride'). Also, 'have very happy memories' is acceptable, but 'have many happy memories' or 'have very happy memories' both work; here the main issue is the verb. Suggestion: avoid abbreviations in formal responses and use full past tense verbs for past events.
× People often cycled to the nearest train station or ride in parks on weekends.
✓ People often cycled to the nearest train station or rode in parks on weekends.
The sentence mixes two past-tense verbs ('cycled' and 'ride'). To maintain tense consistency in a past-time description, both verbs should be in the past tense: 'cycled' and 'rode'. Suggestion: when listing parallel actions in the past, use the same tense for all verbs.
