自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer the question directly, then add one clear detail about who gave you the bike or what you did with it. Avoid repeated words and filler sounds, and finish your thought. The phrase “my niece’s father” may be unclear, so use a more precise description if possible.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. A relative bought bikes for all of us, and I enjoyed riding mine around the neighborhood.

建議: Give a clear answer and make the comparison more precise. Avoid the broad, confusing phrase “South Asian countries or in Asia”; instead, compare bikes with cars in your country. Add a specific reason or example, and reduce filler words.

範例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Cars are much more common, especially for daily travel, so you don’t see as many people commuting by bike.

× Umm, no. Umm, comparing to uh, South Asian countries or in Asia, umm, it's not very popular.

✓ Umm, no. Compared with other South Asian countries, bikes are not very popular in my country.

Use the past participle compared in this introductory comparison, not the -ing form comparing. The revised sentence also makes clear that you are comparing the popularity of bikes in your country with their popularity in other countries.

× We have a lot of cars, but not that much.

✓ We have a lot of cars, but not that many bikes.

Much is used with uncountable nouns, whereas bikes are countable, so many is the appropriate quantifier. Naming bikes also makes the intended comparison clear.
