Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Expand the answer to be more natural and informative. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., how old you were when you got it, who gave it to you, where you rode it, or a brief memory). Use linking words if you add multiple details. Keep it under five sentences.

예시: Yes, I did — I got my first bike when I was eight. It was a small red bicycle that my parents gave me for my birthday, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon. Because the roads near our house were quiet, I learned to cycle quickly and remembered feeling very proud the first time I rode without training wheels.

제안: Make the answer more natural and precise by giving a topic sentence with your opinion, then support it with specific reasons or examples (e.g., cultural factors, transport habits, statistics, or personal observation). Use linking words like 'because', 'for example', or 'also' to connect ideas. Avoid absolute statements unless you can justify them.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many families prefer them for short trips and children’s play. For example, most neighborhoods have parks and quiet streets where parents feel comfortable letting children cycle, and many schools encourage cycling by providing bike racks.

× Yes, sure.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked a yes/no question about past possession ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'). The student's reply 'Yes, sure.' is conversational but incomplete for the test context; it lacks the verb that confirms the past action. This is a sentence structure error (missing verb). Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I did.' to match the past tense question and include the auxiliary verb 'did' to form a complete answer.

× Very popular in the country.

✓ They are very popular in my country.

The question asks about current popularity ('Do you think bikes are popular in your country?'). The fragment 'Very popular in the country.' omits the subject and a linking verb, causing an incomplete sentence and unclear tense. This is classified as a future tense issue in the provided list because the original intended present-state information must use present tense; however, the primary problem is missing subject-verb structure. Suggestion: add the subject 'They' and the present copula 'are' and specify 'my country' to make it a complete present-tense sentence.

× Every child will have one.

✓ Almost every child has one.

The student's sentence uses 'will' to state a general fact about children in the present; using 'will' implies future time or prediction, which is inappropriate when describing a general, habitual truth. This matches the 'Future tense issue' type. Suggestion: use the simple present 'has' for habitual or general facts ('Almost every child has one') or keep 'has one' if you mean the present reality; if you intend to predict the future, keep 'will', but the examiner likely expects present-tense description of current popularity.
