Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be natural and use correct tense and concise phrasing. Start with a direct topic sentence, use past tense consistently, give one or two brief specific reasons with a linking word, and avoid odd vocabulary choices like 'possess'.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Mainly, I preferred staying indoors to play with toys and watch Cartoon Network, so I rarely went outside to ride. As a result, my parents never bought me one.

제안: Give a clear direct answer, use more neutral vocabulary (e.g. 'inadequate' rather than 'broken'), and finish your sentence with a complete list or example. Add one specific supporting detail and use linking words (for example, 'therefore' or 'because').

예시: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Because public transport is often unreliable, many people choose cycling as a cheap and flexible alternative. Therefore, you can see commuters and students riding bikes to work and school, especially during rush hour.

× I don't possess a bike when I was a child, primarily because I only prefer to stay inside and play toys and watch Cartoon Network.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, primarily because I preferred to stay inside and play with toys and watch Cartoon Network.

The sentence mixes present tense ('don't possess', 'prefer') with a past time reference ('when I was a child'). Use past tense for actions or states in the past: 'didn't have' and 'preferred'. Also 'play toys' is incorrect collocation; use 'play with toys'. Ensure verb tense consistency by matching verbs to the past time frame. Suggestion: Use past-simple verbs for past time references and correct verb-noun collocations (play with toys).

× I do believe that bikes are popular here in our country because our transportation system is broken and an alternative mode of transportation is through biking.

✓ I believe that bikes are popular in our country because our transportation system is poor, so many people use biking as an alternative mode of transportation.

The phrase 'I do believe' is grammatical but unnecessarily emphatic; 'I believe' is more natural. 'Broken' is too strong and unnatural for a transportation system; 'poor' or 'inadequate' is better. 'An alternative mode of transportation is through biking' is wordy; 'many people use biking as an alternative' is clearer. Ensure natural collocations and concise phrasing.

× That's why you're going to see a lot of people biking to school, to work, and.

✓ That's why you'll see a lot of people biking to school and to work.

The original ends with a trailing conjunction 'and' with no following item, creating a sentence fragment and poor structure. Also 'you're going to see' is acceptable but 'you'll see' is cleaner. Remove the trailing 'and' and join the two objects with 'and' to complete the list. Suggestion: avoid leaving conjunctions hanging; complete the list or restructure the sentence.
