Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and personal, but it has minor grammatical errors and could be more concise and fluent. Begin with a direct topic sentence, correct the verb phrase (“bought it for me”), and avoid repetition by combining ideas. Add one specific detail (e.g., how you used the bike or a memory) and use a linking word to connect sentences.

예시: Yes, I did — my dad bought me a pink bicycle for my seventh birthday. It was very cute and girly, and I used to ride it to the park every afternoon, which made me feel very independent.

제안: Good direct response, but it is brief and could be expanded with a reason and a linking word for coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason or comparison (e.g., public transport, infrastructure, culture) to support your view. Use linking phrases like “however” or “generally” to connect ideas and be more informative.

예시: Not really. Generally, bicycles are more common in the capital where public transport is crowded; however, in my hometown most people prefer cars because distances are longer and there’s less cycling infrastructure.

× My dad bought it to me on my 7th birthday.

✓ My dad bought it for me on my 7th birthday.

The verb 'buy' followed by a pronoun of the recipient uses the preposition 'for' (bought for me) or the verb can be followed by an indirect object without a preposition (bought me a bike). Using 'to' is incorrect for this construction. Suggestion: say 'My dad bought it for me' or 'My dad bought me a pink bicycle.'

× No, I don't think so.

✓ No, I don't think so.

This sentence is grammatically correct; it uses the present simple negative appropriately to express a current opinion. No change needed.

× Probably in the capital, but here in my hometown cars are the most popular.

✓ Probably in the capital, but here in my hometown cars are the most popular.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable: it correctly uses the present simple to describe general facts. No change needed.

× I did have a pink bicycle.

✓ I did have a pink bicycle.

This sentence is correct: 'a pink bicycle' is singular and matches the past auxiliary 'did have' for emphasis. No change needed.
