Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
Based on my opinion and perspective, bike isn't popular in my country. More popular are motorbikes and cars because there's a lot of traffic and it's very tiring to ride a bike. So instead they use car or motorcycle to go to the work or go.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 68.0建議: Answer directly and use consistent past tense. “Back when I was a child” is slightly redundant after “when I was a child,” and “I usually walk and run” should be “I usually walked and ran.” Also, “to enjoy my life” does not clearly explain why you walked and ran. Add one specific detail about how you travelled or spent your free time.
範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked or ran to school because my home was quite close. I also enjoyed playing outdoor games with my friends in the neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 58.0建議: Give a natural, direct opinion instead of saying “Based on my opinion and perspective,” which is repetitive. Use the plural form “bikes,” improve word order in “More popular are,” and say “go to work” rather than “go to the work.” The answer should also explain more clearly why cars and motorbikes are preferred; for example, mention long distances, hot weather, heavy traffic, or limited cycling lanes. Avoid the unfinished phrase “or go.”
範例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer motorbikes or cars because many cities have heavy traffic and the weather is often hot. In addition, there are not many dedicated bike lanes, so cycling can be tiring and unsafe, especially when people commute to work.
× I usually walk and run to enjoy my life.
✓ I usually walked and ran to enjoy my life.
The question asks about your childhood, so you should use the past tense. Change walk to walked and run to ran because these actions happened regularly in the past.
× Based on my opinion and perspective, bike isn't popular in my country.
✓ Based on my opinion and perspective, bikes aren't popular in my country.
When speaking about bikes in general, use the plural noun bikes. Because bikes is plural, use the plural verb are not, contracted as aren't.
× So instead they use car or motorcycle to go to the work or go.
✓ So instead, they use a car or a motorcycle to go to work or travel elsewhere.
Singular countable nouns such as car and motorcycle need an article, so use a car and a motorcycle. The expression go to work does not use the definite article the. The original ending go is incomplete, so replace it with the clearer phrase travel elsewhere.
