自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer the question directly in the past tense: say that you did not have a bike. Avoid unnatural phrases such as “have enthusiasm in learning how to bike”; use “I wasn’t interested in learning to ride a bike.” Also, reduce repetition and correct the tense and sentence structure in “I’m I want to learn.” You can add one clear reason and a brief present or future plan, using a linking word such as “however” or “now.”

範例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I wasn’t interested in learning to ride one. However, I’d like to learn now because cycling is a healthy and convenient way to get around.

建議: Give a clear answer first, then explain the main use of bikes. Avoid fillers such as “uh” and use more natural expressions: “People mainly ride bikes for exercise” rather than “use bikes to have a sport.” Improve the linking and word order by saying “Although some people cycle for exercise, bikes are not widely used as a means of transportation.”

範例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Although some people ride them for exercise or leisure, most people prefer cars or public transportation for their daily commute, so cycling is not a common means of transportation.

× I don't own a bike when I was a child because I am not able to have enthusiasm in learning how to bike.

✓ I didn't own a bike when I was a child because I wasn't enthusiastic about learning how to ride a bike.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a completed period in the past, so the verbs should be in the past tense: don't becomes didn't and am becomes was. The more natural expression is wasn't enthusiastic about learning how to ride a bike.

× I don't own a bike when I was a child because I am not able to have enthusiasm in learning how to bike.

✓ I didn't own a bike when I was a child because I wasn't enthusiastic about learning how to ride a bike.

The adjective enthusiastic is followed by the preposition about, not in. Use enthusiastic about learning something. Also, ride a bike is the usual expression in English.

× So in the future I'm I want to learn.

✓ So, in the future, I want to learn how to ride a bike.

I'm I contains two conflicting subjects and verb structures. Use one complete structure: I want to learn. Commas can also separate the introductory phrase in the future from the main clause.

× In my opinion, bikes are not really popular, but mostly people are using bikes to have a sport, but not for transportation mostly.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular, but most people use them for sport rather than for transportation.

Most people is the correct expression when referring to the majority of people. Mostly people is not appropriate in this sentence because mostly is an adverb, whereas most is the quantifier needed before people.

× In my opinion, bikes are not really popular, but mostly people are using bikes to have a sport, but not for transportation mostly.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular, but most people use them for sport rather than for transportation.

The answer describes a general habit, so use the simple present tense: use. The present continuous form are using is usually used for an action happening around now or temporarily.

× In my opinion, bikes are not really popular, but mostly people are using bikes to have a sport, but not for transportation mostly.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular, but most people use them for sport rather than for transportation.

Use for sport to describe the purpose of using bikes. The expression have a sport is not used in this context. The contrast is expressed naturally with rather than for transportation.
