自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Use the past tense consistently: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I don’t have.” Avoid fillers such as “uh” and use the natural phrase “a bike” instead of “any bike.” You could add a brief reason or relevant detail to make the answer more complete.

範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was safer for me to walk or take the bus to school.

建議: Answer more naturally by using “country” instead of “nation” and “most people can only afford two-wheelers” instead of “most of the people would afford only two Wheelers.” Avoid repeating “bike” and “because,” and replace “their petrol rates are even better” with a clearer expression such as “they use less fuel and cost less to run.” Organize the answer with a clear reason and one specific supporting detail.

範例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, mainly because they are more affordable than cars. They are also convenient in busy cities and use less fuel, so many people choose them for their daily commute.

× No, I don't have uh, any bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question refers to a past period, so the verb must be in the past tense. Use didn't have instead of don't have. The phrase a bike is also appropriate because bike is a singular countable noun.

× No, I don't have uh, any bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it normally needs an article. Use a bike when speaking about one non-specific bike. Also, remove uh in a formal speaking-test answer unless you need it as a natural hesitation.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my nation as most of the people would afford only two Wheelers. So they travel by bike and they prefer bike 'cause they are comfortable and their first preference is bike over cars 'cause they are affordable and their petrol rates are even better.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because most people can afford only two-wheelers. Therefore, they travel by bike and prefer bikes because they are comfortable. Their first preference is bikes over cars because bikes are more affordable and their fuel costs are lower.

Use can to describe a present ability or financial possibility. Would does not fit this general present-time statement. The phrase can afford means that people have the financial ability to buy or use something.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my nation as most of the people would afford only two Wheelers. So they travel by bike and they prefer bike 'cause they are comfortable and their first preference is bike over cars 'cause they are affordable and their petrol rates are even better.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because most people can afford only two-wheelers. Therefore, they travel by bike and prefer bikes because they are comfortable. Their first preference is bikes over cars because bikes are more affordable and their fuel costs are lower.

The natural expression is preference for something, not preference is something. A clearer correction is Their first preference is bikes over cars. Also, use lower for costs or prices when comparing them with car costs; better is less precise in this context.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my nation as most of the people would afford only two Wheelers. So they travel by bike and they prefer bike 'cause they are comfortable and their first preference is bike over cars 'cause they are affordable and their petrol rates are even better.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because most people can afford only two-wheelers. Therefore, they travel by bike and prefer bikes because they are comfortable. Their first preference is bikes over cars because bikes are more affordable and their fuel costs are lower.

When bike is used as a general plural category, use bikes rather than the singular bike without an article. Therefore, prefer bikes and their first preference is bikes are grammatically appropriate. Two-wheeler should also be written with a hyphen.
