Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be careful with tense and small grammar points, keep answers concise and add a linking word for coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then give one or two specific supporting details (how old you were, who taught you, or where you practiced) using a linking word. Avoid unnecessary words like "do" when referring to the past and fix articles and plural forms (e.g., "a couple of practice" → "a couple of practice sessions").

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. At first I was scared to ride it, but after a couple of practice sessions with my older brother I became confident, and by the age of eight I could cycle around the neighborhood without help.

제안: Provide a clear topic sentence and follow with specific supporting details and a linking word. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "short-distance travel" not "short distance travelling") and give examples or comparisons (who uses bikes, typical distances, or reasons beyond public transport) to enrich the answer. Also correct minor grammar: "because of poor public transportation" (no article) and use nouns appropriately.

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because public transportation is often unreliable. For example, many office workers and students cycle for short-distance travel of 2–5 kilometers, and in recent years affordable shared-bike schemes have made cycling even more common.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the verb should be in the past tense. Use 'had' rather than 'do have' to match the time frame. Suggestion: pay attention to time markers in questions and match verb tense to them.

× When I was a child, initially I was scared to ride but after couple of practice I was confident to ride.

✓ When I was a child, I was initially scared to ride, but after a couple of practice sessions I became confident riding.

Multiple issues: sequence of past events requires past tense ('was', 'became'). 'Initially' is better placed after the subject for clarity. 'After couple of practice' is missing the article 'a' and a plural noun; use 'a couple of practice sessions' or 'a few practice sessions'. Use 'became confident riding' or 'confident to ride' but 'became confident riding' is more natural. Suggestion: include articles with 'couple', pluralize 'practice' to 'practice sessions', and keep past tense consistent.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because of the poor public transportation.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because public transportation is poor.

The original sentence is understandable but 'because of the poor public transportation' is slightly awkward. Reordering to 'because public transportation is poor' uses a full clause and reads more naturally. Tense remains present to match 'are popular'. Suggestion: prefer full clauses after 'because' for clarity.

× Many people prefer to use a bike for their short distance travelling.

✓ Many people prefer to use a bike for their short-distance travel.

'Short distance' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective ('short-distance') before a noun, and 'travelling' (noun form) is better as 'travel' in this context. Also 'their' is acceptable but 'use a bike' could be pluralized to 'use bikes' depending on emphasis; keeping 'a bike' is idiomatic. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives and use the correct noun form ('travel').
