自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer the question directly in the first sentence, and avoid repeating the same idea with “so.” Correct the grammar in “when I were” to “when I was,” “my father asked me that you are” to “my father thought I was,” and “my father make” to “my father made.” Use more natural expressions such as “ride a bike” instead of “drive the bike,” and clarify that a cycle was a safer alternative for a young child. Keep the answer to three or four well-linked sentences.

範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My father thought I was too young to ride one, so he bought me a tricycle instead. Looking back, I think he made a wise decision because it was safer and easier for me to use.

建議: Give a clear opinion immediately by saying that bikes are popular, rather than saying they are “quite good.” Avoid repetition and unnatural phrases such as “belong from middle class families,” “board bikes,” and “one of my bike.” Use “come from middle-class families,” “ride motorcycles,” and “I own a Honda CG125,” if that is the intended model. Link the reasons logically: motorcycles are affordable, fuel-efficient, and convenient for commuting. Mention your own experience in one concise final sentence.

範例: Yes, motorcycles are very popular in my country. Many people, especially those from middle-class families, ride them because they are much more affordable and fuel-efficient than cars. They are also convenient for commuting through busy traffic, and I own a Honda CG125 myself.

× when I were a child

✓ when I was a child

The sentence refers to a past situation, so the past-tense form was is needed with the subject I. Were is not used with I in this normal past-tense statement.

× my father asked me that you are very small and you do not have the ability to drive the bike

✓ my father told me that I was too small and did not have the ability to ride a bike

In reported speech, the pronouns must change to match the original speaker's meaning: you becomes I. Because the reporting verb is in the past, the present forms are and do not normally change to was and did not. Told is more appropriate than asked because the father gave information rather than asked a question.

× instead of bike

✓ instead of a bike

A singular countable noun such as bike needs an article. Use a because the bike is not a specific bike previously identified.

× my father make a very wise decision at the time

✓ my father made a very wise decision at the time

The decision was made in the past, so the past-tense form made is required. Make is the present-tense form.

× a very wise decision

✓ a very wise decision

This phrase is already grammatically correct. The article a is correctly used before the singular countable noun decision, so no change is needed.

× most of the people are going to their work using their own vehicles

✓ most people go to work using their own vehicles

The student is describing a general habit, so the simple present go is more appropriate than the present continuous are going. Also, work is generally used without their when referring to the workplace or regular employment activity.

× vehicles like motorcycle

✓ vehicles like motorcycles

The sentence refers to vehicles in general, so the example noun should be plural: motorcycles. A plural noun is also more consistent with vehicles.

× most of the people belong from middle class families

✓ most people belong to middle-class families

The verb belong is followed by the preposition to, not from. The phrase middle-class is also written as a compound adjective before families.

× one of my bike

✓ one of my bikes

One of is followed by a plural noun because it means one member of a group. Therefore, bike must be changed to bikes.

× which is which which name is Honda CG1

✓ which is called Honda CG1

The original phrase contains repeated and incorrectly arranged words, so it does not form a clear relative clause. The structure which is called Honda CG1 clearly identifies the name of the bike.
