Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant but a few improvements would raise your score: 1) Use the correct simple past negative form (“No, I didn’t”) for naturalness. 2) Keep answers concise (maximum 3–4 short sentences) and avoid unnecessary repetition. 3) Add one specific detail to enrich the response (e.g., how often you rode with your father or where). 4) Use a linking phrase to connect ideas smoothly (e.g., “however” is fine).

예시: No, I didn’t. I was too scared to ride a bike on my own, so my father would pedal with me in the park most weekends. As a result, I only felt comfortable riding short distances until I was a teenager.

제안: Good content and clear opinion. To improve: 1) Combine sentences to avoid choppiness and reduce filler words like “uh.” 2) Provide one specific supporting detail or example (e.g., bike lanes, commuting statistics, or typical distances). 3) Use a linking word to show reason (e.g., “because” or “mainly because”) and correct small collocations (“ride a bike to work” instead of “to their work”).

예시: Yes, bikes are very common, especially among young people, mainly because they help avoid heavy traffic. For example, many commuters use cycle lanes to travel short distances to work or university, and you can see large groups of cyclists during rush hour.

× No, I had not.

✓ No, I did not.

The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' uses the simple past with auxiliary did. The student should use 'did not' + base verb for negatives in simple past, not 'had not' which is a past perfect negative and inappropriate here. Suggestion: use 'did not' for simple past negatives (e.g., 'No, I did not').

× However, I used to ride on it with my father.

✓ However, I used to ride it with my father.

When using 'ride' with an object like 'a bike', the verb does not require the preposition 'on'. 'Ride on' is redundant here. Use the base verb plus object: 'ride it'. The phrase 'used to' correctly indicates a habitual past action; remove 'on' for natural phrasing.

× They are fond of riding bikes.

✓ They are fond of riding bikes.

This sentence is acceptable grammatically; no correction needed. It correctly uses plural pronoun 'they' to match 'youngsters' and the gerund 'riding'. (Included for completeness; no change.)

× Likewise, people prefer to ride a bike to their work and just because to uh, escape the huge traffic.

✓ Likewise, people prefer to ride a bike to work, and they do it to escape heavy traffic.

Several issues: 'to their work' is acceptable but 'to work' is more natural; 'just because to' is ungrammatical—use 'they do it to' or 'to' followed by purpose clause. 'Uh' is a filler and should be omitted in written responses. Use 'heavy traffic' rather than 'huge traffic'. Also add 'they' to clarify the subject of the second clause. Suggestion: restructure as 'people prefer to ride a bike to work, and they do it to escape heavy traffic.'
