自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly using the past tense, and avoid repeating words or restarting phrases. Explain briefly how you learned to ride, using clear linking words such as “so” and “eventually.” Use “bike” or “bicycle,” not “buy,” and say “training wheels” rather than “four wheels.”

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I really wanted to ride by myself, so I asked my parents to buy me one. I first learned to ride with training wheels, and eventually I managed to ride on two wheels.

建議: Give a direct answer, then support it with a specific observation about Taiwan. Use the plural “bikes,” and say “a popular way to commute” instead of “a kind of commute.” Avoid repeating “because” and “commute”; explain briefly why cycling is convenient.

範例: Yes, bikes are very popular in Taiwan. You can see them all over the country, especially in cities, where many people use them for short trips. They are convenient and can help people avoid traffic.

× Yes, I have a buy when I was a child, umm when I was small.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, when I was small.

The question asks about the past, and the time phrase when I was a child confirms that the event happened in the past. Use had instead of have. Bike is also the correct noun here; buy is a verb.

× I really want to bike by myself.

✓ I really wanted to ride a bike by myself.

The student is describing a childhood wish, so the past-tense form wanted is appropriate. Ride a bike is also the natural expression for this meaning.

× So I, I, I tell my parents that I would what I would like a bike

✓ So I told my parents that I would like a bike.

Told is needed because the student is recounting a past conversation. Remove the repeated false start; would like is grammatically correct in this reported statement.

× and I Start learning with four wheels

✓ and I started learning with four wheels

The student is describing what happened in childhood, so use the past-tense form started. Learning is correct after start.

× and finally I succeed

✓ and finally I succeeded

The success happened in the past, so the verb should be in the past tense: succeeded.

× and I try for two.

✓ and I tried riding on two wheels.

For does not express the intended meaning here. Use on two wheels to describe riding a bicycle with two wheels. Tried is also in the past tense to match the childhood story.

× Yes, I think bike is a popular in my country

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The sentence refers to bikes in general, so use the plural noun bikes and the plural verb are. Do not use a before the adjective popular in this structure.

× Yes, I think bike is a popular in my country

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The article a cannot be placed directly before the adjective popular without a following noun. In this general statement, use bikes are popular without an article.

× because I live in Taiwan and you can see you bike everywhere

✓ because I live in Taiwan and you can see bikes everywhere

You is not the noun intended after see. Use bikes to refer to bicycles that can be seen throughout the country.

× and you bike is a kind of, uh, commute commute for everyone

✓ and a bike is a kind of transportation for everyone

You is not the correct subject for this meaning. Use a bike to refer to the vehicle. The corrected wording also makes the relationship between a bike and transportation clear.
