自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly in the past tense: use “had” instead of “have,” and say “when I was ten” rather than “when I was turned.” Avoid unnatural phrases such as “ride a bike with myself”; use “learn to ride it on my own.” Add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it. Try to speak smoothly without fillers such as “uh.”

範例: Yes, I had a second-hand bike when I was about ten years old. It was a little rusty, but I was very excited to have it. I remember learning to ride it on my own in the street near my house.

建議: Use the present tense because the question asks about current popularity, and make your comparison clear: “Bikes were more popular when I was young, but they are less popular now.” Avoid repeating words such as “then” and complete the final idea by explaining what people use instead. Include a specific reason, such as traffic, public transportation, or the convenience of cars and buses. Use linking words like “however” and “because.”

範例: Bikes were quite popular when I was young, but they are less common now. However, many people still cycle for exercise or short trips. Most commuters prefer cars or public transportation because the roads are busy and public transport is more convenient.

× Yes, I have a second-hand bike when I was two.

✓ Yes, I had a second-hand bike when I was two.

The question asks about a past period in your childhood, so use the simple past had instead of the present perfect form have.

× At that time, I remember that I'm just starting to learn how to ride a bike.

✓ At that time, I remember that I was just starting to learn how to ride a bike.

The action of learning was in progress in the past, so use was starting rather than am starting.

× I was learning how to ride a bike with myself.

✓ I was learning how to ride a bike by myself.

Use the expression by myself to mean without help or alone. With myself is not the natural prepositional expression for this meaning.

× Biking is very popular when I was young.

✓ Biking was very popular when I was young.

The phrase when I was young refers to a finished period in the past, so the verb should be in the simple past: was.

× Bikes are not that popular then it was be.

✓ Biking is not as popular as it was then.

To compare the current level of popularity with a past level, use the structure not as + adjective + as. The phrase it was be is grammatically incorrect; it was is sufficient.

× Bike is not that popular.

✓ Bikes are not that popular.

When speaking about bikes in general, use the plural noun bikes and the plural verb are. A singular countable noun cannot normally be used without an article.

× So I think now people are turning to use.

✓ So I think people are now using bikes less often.

The original sentence is incomplete because use needs an object or a complete complement. The correction clearly expresses the intended meaning and forms a complete sentence.
