Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is very short and uncertain. Give a direct, clear response with a topic sentence and then add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., reasons, where you lived, or a memorable experience). Use a past-tense structure and a linking word to improve coherence.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a very hilly area and it wasn’t practical. However, I often borrowed my neighbour’s bike on weekends, which I enjoyed because it felt like a small adventure.

제안: The reply is too brief and lacks supporting detail. Start with a clear topic sentence and then explain why you think bikes are popular, giving specific reasons or comparisons. Use linking words (for example, because, moreover) to make your answer coherent and informative.

예시: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting to avoid traffic. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-share programs, so cycling is a common and affordable option.

× No, I don't think so.

✓ No, I don't think I did.

The examiner asked about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student's answer should match past reference. 'I don't think so' uses present tense and refers to a present belief; a more accurate reply is 'I don't think I did,' which uses the past auxiliary 'did' to match the question's past tense. Suggestion: when answering yes/no questions about past events, use past-tense verbs (did/didn't) or past-tense full responses (I don't think I did / No, I didn't).

× Yes, of course.

✓ Yes, of course.

This response correctly answers the present-tense question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' It is a complete and appropriate short answer. No grammatical correction is needed. Suggestion: to provide more information, add a brief explanation (e.g., 'Yes, of course, many people use bikes for commuting').
