Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be careful with verb tense and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and unnecessary fillers. For example, say when you received the bike, describe its appearance or how you used it, and include a brief feeling or result.

예시: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a small red bicycle when I was six years old, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon. Because it had training wheels at first, I felt confident learning to balance, and by the time I was eight I could ride without them.

제안: Give a direct opinion first, then support it with clear reasons and a specific example. Use correct grammar (countable nouns and verb forms) and linking words like 'because' or 'however' to make your answer coherent. Avoid filler words such as 'umm' and incorrect phrases like 'used to drive' when describing general habits.

예시: I don't think bicycles are very popular in my country because most people prefer to drive cars for convenience and speed. For instance, in my city public transport is limited, so families often own at least one car, which makes cycling less common except for sport or leisure.

× Yes, I have a bike when I'm still a child.

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

The speaker is referring to a past situation. Using present simple 'have' and present continuous 'I'm' is incorrect. Use past simple 'had' and 'was' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: place the sentence fully in past tense for consistency (I had a bike when I was a child).

× The bike was from my parents when I am still six years old.

✓ The bike was from my parents when I was six years old.

The clause 'when I am still six years old' mixes present tense with a past context. Use past tense 'was' for the time clause. Also 'was from my parents' is acceptable but more natural: 'It was a gift from my parents' or 'My parents gave it to me when I was six.' Suggestion: use past simple consistently and consider more natural phrasing.

× Umm I don't really think bikes are popular in my country since umm many peoples umm in my country used to drive cars instead using a bikes.

✓ Umm, I don't really think bikes are popular in my country since many people in my country drive cars instead of using bikes.

'Peoples' is incorrect for the general plural of people; use 'people'. 'A bikes' is wrong: plural 'bikes' needs no article. 'Used to drive' implies a past habit; the context asks about general popularity now, so simple present 'drive' is better. Also use 'instead of using bikes' rather than 'instead using a bikes'. Suggestion: use 'people', correct article usage with plurals (no 'a'), and choose the correct tense (present simple) for general truths; use the phrase 'instead of' before the gerund.
