自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly, then explain briefly why or when you stopped riding. Keep the verb tenses consistent: use “liked” for a childhood habit and “stopped riding it” to describe what happened later. Replace the unnatural phrase “slowly during my elementary school” with “as I got older” or “when I was in elementary school.”

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I really enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood. However, I gradually stopped using it when I got older because I became busier with school.

建議: Give a clear overall opinion first, then support it with one specific observation. Avoid repeating “I could say” and “not really,” and use the correct forms “people use bikes” and “some people still ride them.” You could also clarify whether bikes are more common for commuting, exercise, or recreation.

範例: I’d say bikes are moderately popular in my country. They aren’t the main form of transport in most cities, but some people still use them for short commutes or exercise. In smaller towns, cycling is more common because the roads are less crowded.

× I did have one bike when I was a child and I really like to use it when I was a kid, but slowly during my elementary school I already did not really use that often.

✓ I did have one bike when I was a child, and I really liked to use it when I was a kid, but gradually, when I was in elementary school, I did not really use it that often.

The sentence refers to a completed period in the past, indicated by when I was a child and when I was a kid. Therefore, like should be changed to liked to keep the verb tense consistent.

Use in before elementary school when referring to the period of a person's education. During my elementary school is not the natural prepositional phrase here; you could also say during my elementary school years.

The verb use needs an object in this sentence. Add it to refer clearly to the bike: use it that often.

× I could say not really that popular but not really that left behind as well because in my country I could say that not really a lot of people using the bike but there is some that is still using bike.

✓ I could say that bikes are not really that popular, but they are not really that left behind either, because in my country, not many people use bikes, but some are still using bikes.

The phrase after I could say is incomplete because it does not state who or what is popular. Add a subject and a verb, such as that bikes are. In a full sentence, make sure each clause has a clear subject and verb.

× I could say not really that popular but not really that left behind as well because in my country I could say that not really a lot of people using the bike but there is some that is still using bike.

✓ I could say that bikes are not really that popular, but they are not really that left behind either, because in my country, not many people use bikes, but some are still using bikes.

The original phrase not really a lot of people using the bike lacks a finite verb. Use the present simple not many people use bikes to describe a general situation, or say not many people are using bikes.

✓ I could say that bikes are not really that popular, but they are not really that left behind either, because in my country, not many people use bikes, but some are still using bikes.

The verb must agree with its plural subject. Some refers to some people, so use are still using rather than is still using.

✓ I could say that bikes are not really that popular, but they are not really that left behind either, because in my country, not many people use bikes, but some are still using bikes.

When speaking about bicycles in general, use the plural form bikes rather than the singular bike. The plural form also fits the reference to many people.
