Band 6

Nowadays, more and more people in the cities cycle to work or to school. This is an interesting topic and many people have a different opinion. In this essay I will explain why this is happening and I will say if it is a positive or a negative development.

Firstly「Firstly」和「Secondly」是主體段落之間唯一的連接, there are many reasons why people cycle. The main reason is that the traffic is very bad in cities. When people drive a car in the morning, they must wait a long time and this is a big problem for the workers, but a bicycle can go between the cars. Also the government build主詞動詞不一致：應為「builds」 cycle lanes and this is good for the people點出了理由，但沒有說明：沒有細說自行車道如何改變一趟路程. Another reason is that many people see cycling as a modern and active way of life, and they like to tell their friends about it. When the weather is good, the streets are full of bicycles, and this makes other people want to try.

Secondly, I think this is a positive development. People who cycle every day are more healthy比較級形式錯誤：應為「healthier」 because they make exercise動詞錯誤：應為「get exercise」. The air is also better when there are fewer cars. I think this is very important for the cities and for the people who live there. But the roads are dangerus拼字錯誤：應為「dangerous」 for cyclists, especially with big lorries, and some people are hurt.

In conclusion唯一標示結論段的訊號，之後卻把兩個答案混在一起, people cycle because of the traffic and the lanes, and it is positive and negative at the same time. I hope that the cities will think about this question in the future. It has advantages and disadvantages, so I think it depends on the city含糊的收尾：「正面還是負面」這個問題失去了明確的答案.

Band 7

More people in cities now choose to cycle to work or school. Cycling is no longer only a hobby, and the change is visible on many streets. This essay will explain the main reason for this trend and argue that it is a positive development, provided that cities make cycling safe引言就回答了兩個部分，包括判斷和它的條件.

The main reason is that cycling has become the quicker option for short journeys. As traffic grows, cars move slowly at rush hour, whereas a bicycle can pass through the same streets without waiting. Time that is saved in this way can be spent at home or at work. In addition簡單而合適的補充，這個段落只談一個主題, many cities have built cycle lanes in recent years, so a journey of a few kilometres that once felt dangerous now feels manageable. A commuter who sits in a queue of cars for twenty minutes can often cover a same distance冠詞錯誤：應為「the same distance」 by bike in about the same time.

I believe this is a positive development, for two reasons. People who cycle daily get exercise without setting aside time for it自然的搭配；句子說的是具體的內容, and fewer cars mean cleaner air in streets where children walk to school. Cyclists also arrive awake and ready to work, which benefits their employers and teachers. The main drawback is safety, since riders who share narrow roads with lorries are at risk缺點連同理由一起說明，所以判斷是均衡的.

Although this risk is real, it is a reason for protected lanes and not a reason to discourage cycling讓步子句放在句首，用法準確. Cities that separate bicycles from heavy traffic keep the benefits and remove most of the danger. Painted lanes alone are not enough, because cars can still park in them. In conclusion放在這裡合適，但作為訊號稍微用得過多, people cycle because it is quicker, and the change is positive if safety is built in.

Band 8

The rise in commuting by bicycle has an easily stated cause and a more qualified verdict. The two halves are connected: the reason people ride is also the reason the risk to them matters. I will argue that cycling has become the sensible choice for short urban journeys, and that the change is positive wherever cities protect the people who ride一個句子就回答了兩個部分，並附上第二部分的條件.

The cause lies in the logic of congestion. At rush hour a car in a city centre moves at the speed of the traffic around it, whereas a bicycle moves at the speed of its rider, and over a few kilometres the two often arrive together平衡的對比，使用平行結構，從頭到尾準確. Cycle lanes tilt the comparison further, because they make the journey safer as well as quicker, and a commuter who has noticed this rarely goes back to the queue. The saving is modest on any one day, but it is the predictability of the journey that people value.

The consequences are largely beneficial. A commuter who cycles gains exercise without giving up time for it精確而簡潔，沒有填充詞, and every journey that leaves a car at home reduces the pollution in streets that others must breathe. These gains reach beyond the rider: quieter streets are easier to cross, and children walk to school among fewer exhaust fumes. The one serious drawback is safety: where riders share narrow roads with lorries, a minor error becomes a serious injury精確而平實，句子說出了會發生什麼事.

That risk, however, argues for better design, not for fewer cyclists指回前面點出的一件事，不用套語就讓段落轉折. Cities that separate bicycles from heavy traffic keep the benefits and remove most of the danger, which is why I judge the change positive on one condition: that the lanes are built for the riders who will use them結論連同條件一起收尾，而不是含糊其辭.
