Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly and avoid repeating the examiner. Provide a clear topic sentence about whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (where you rode it, who you rode with, or a short memory). Keep it natural and under five sentences, using linking words like "so" or "because" when needed.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends after school, and we often raced each other for fun. Because our street was quiet, it felt very safe to practice new tricks and go on longer rides at the weekend.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your opinion, then give specific reasons and avoid contradictions. Use correct grammar (singular/plural, verb forms) and linking words to connect ideas. Be concise and provide a concrete example or statistic if possible. Keep it within five sentences.

예시: Yes, I think bicycles are becoming more popular in the Philippines. This is because traffic congestion and high fuel costs make cycling a faster and cheaper option for many commuters. For example, some people choose bikes for short trips to work or the market, and local councils have started creating bike lanes to encourage this trend.

× Yes, because here in the Philippines it is highly congested with a lot of cars and motorcycles.

✓ Yes, because here in the Philippines it is highly congested with a lot of cars and motorcycles.

Although the sentence is mostly acceptable, there is a slight issue with the pronoun 'it' referring to the Philippines. The Philippines is treated as a country (singular), so 'it is highly congested' is grammatically okay. No change required. Suggestion: consider clarifying the subject by saying 'the traffic in the Philippines is highly congested' to be more natural and specific.

× So other people who can afford cars and motorcycles prefers to use bicycle instead of commuting and it is one of their source.

✓ So other people who can afford cars and motorcycles prefer to use bicycles instead of commuting, and it is one of their sources of transport.

Errors: 'prefers' is incorrect because the subject 'people' is plural, so the verb should be 'prefer' (subject-verb agreement). 'Bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles' because 'people' use them in general (singular vs plural). 'one of their source' is incorrect; after 'one of' use a plural noun ('sources'), and 'source' of what needs clarification—'transport' fits context. Suggestions: ensure verbs agree with their subjects (people -> prefer), use plural nouns when speaking generally, and complete noun phrases like 'sources of transport' for clarity.
