自行车— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “I had a bike.” Use “my parents gave me” or “I was given” instead of “give give me.” Keep the answer direct, then add the birthday detail and your reaction.

範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents gave it to me as a birthday present, and I was thrilled. I rode it around my neighborhood quite often.

建議: State your view clearly and use natural expressions such as “bicycles are not very popular” and “there are a lot of motor vehicles.” Distinguish bicycles from e-bikes, and use “popular among children” rather than “popular in kids.” Support your answer with one specific reason or example.

範例: I don’t think regular bicycles are very popular as a means of transport in my country, as many people prefer motorbikes or cars. However, e-bikes are quite common, especially for short trips. Bicycles are still popular among children and people who enjoy cycling for exercise.
