自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly and use the correct subject and pronouns: say “we used to ride” instead of “they used to ride,” and “our bikes” instead of “our bike” because you were riding with your sister and father. Avoid repeating “bike” by using “it” or “our bikes.” You could also add one specific detail about where you rode or how you felt. Use a linking word such as “especially” or “because” to make the answer more natural and cohesive.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I used to ride it with my sister and my father. We often cycled through the countryside, especially at weekends, while chatting and singing together. I really enjoyed those family outings because they were fun and relaxing.

建議: Begin with a clear answer to the question: “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Correct “bags” to “bikes” and replace “rather than you” with a suitable comparison, such as “rather than cars” or “instead of driving.” Improve the organization by explaining that many university students cycle from home to campus, and add a result, such as reduced traffic or pollution. Avoid hesitations and repetition, and use linking words such as “particularly,” “as a result,” or “because.”

範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, particularly in Bologna. Many university students cycle from their homes to campus, so the streets are often filled with bicycles. As a result, cycling is a convenient alternative to driving because it helps people avoid traffic and reduce pollution.

× Yes, I had a bike and they used to ride the bike a lot with my sister and my father.

✓ Yes, I had a bike, and I used to ride it a lot with my sister and my father.

The subject is the speaker, so the first-person pronoun I must be used instead of they. The pronoun it can replace the repeated noun phrase the bike.

× We used to go in the countryside, uh, riding our bike and singing some songs.

✓ We used to go to the countryside, riding our bike and singing some songs.

Use go to when describing movement toward a destination. Go in the countryside usually means moving around within the countryside, not traveling there.

× We used to go in the countryside, uh, riding our bike and singing some songs.

✓ We used to go to the countryside, riding our bikes and singing some songs.

Because the speaker refers to the bikes belonging to several people, the plural form bikes is more appropriate than the singular form bike. Use plural nouns when multiple people have or use separate items.

× There are a lot of streets full of bicycles and umm, a lot of people, umm, prefer to use a bicycle rather than you.

✓ There are a lot of streets full of bicycles, and a lot of people prefer to use a bicycle rather than a car.

The phrase rather than should compare two similar things or activities. A bicycle and you are not comparable objects in this sentence, so a car is a suitable comparison. Try to compare like with like, such as a bicycle with a car or cycling with driving.
