分數: 67.0建議: ตอบตรงคำถามและมีรายละเอียดที่ช่วยให้คำตอบน่าสนใจ เช่น สีของจักรยานและการฝึกขี่กับพ่อแม่ อย่างไรก็ตาม ควรตัดคำซ้ำ “yellow” และปรับไวยากรณ์เป็น “every evening” และ “after school” หากเล่าถึงความรู้สึกในอดีต ให้ใช้ “I felt proud and confident in myself” นอกจากนี้ “ride by myself” อาจฟังซ้ำความหมายกับ “without help” ควรเลือกใช้เพียงอย่างใดอย่างหนึ่ง

分數: 58.0建議: ให้ความคิดเห็นชัดเจนและยกเหตุผลได้ตรงประเด็น แต่ควรหลีกเลี่ยงการใช้ “in my country” ซ้ำ และแก้ “a private cars” เป็น “private cars” หรือ “a private car” ใช้ “take public transport” แทน “take up public transport” และปรับช่วงท้ายให้เป็นธรรมชาติ เช่น “especially during the hotter months, when cycling is uncomfortable” หากหมายถึงรถไฟฟ้า ควรเขียน “the Skytrain”
範例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. The extreme heat and air pollution make cycling uncomfortable, so many people prefer to drive or use public transport, such as the Skytrain. Cycling may be more appealing during cooler months.
