Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and directly addresses the question, but it is brief and contains unnecessary repetition (“I remember I did not have a bike” and “when I was a child” convey the same idea). To improve, start with a concise topic sentence, then optionally add one short supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid filler words and repeated information.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child. However, I often walked to school and sometimes borrowed a neighbor’s bike for short trips.

제안: Your answer gives a clear opinion but is filled with hesitations and incomplete phrasing. Improve by removing filler words (umm, uh), using a clear topic sentence, and adding one or two specific supporting details with linking words (for example, where and why they are popular). Keep it concise (max 3–4 short sentences).

예시: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in the Philippines. In rural areas especially, they are a primary mode of transport because public transit is limited, and bicycles are affordable and easy to maintain.

× No, I remember I did not have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I remember I did not have a bike when I was a child.

Although the sentence is grammatically acceptable, it is slightly redundant to use both 'I remember' and the simple past 'I did not have'. This is not an article error but a stylistic issue. Suggestion: say either 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I remember not having a bike when I was a child.' Use contraction for natural spoken English.

× Yes, I believe umm bikes are popular in the Philippines.

✓ Yes, I believe bikes are popular in the Philippines.

Remove filler 'umm' for clarity; no article is needed before 'bikes' when speaking generally. The original had no article error but contained hesitation sounds. Suggestion: 'Yes, I believe bikes are popular in the Philippines.'

× It's umm, one of the basic mode of transportation, especially when you are in the rural umm areas because it's uh, the transportation is not easily accessible, so you have umm.

✓ It's one of the basic modes of transportation, especially in rural areas, because transportation is not easily accessible there.

Multiple issues: 'one of the basic mode' should be 'one of the basic modes' to match singular 'one' with plural 'modes' (singular and plural issue). Use 'in rural areas' instead of 'when you are in the rural areas' for natural phrasing (preposition use). 'The transportation is not easily accessible' is awkward; drop the definite article and add 'there' to indicate location. Also remove hesitation words. Suggestion: 'It's one of the basic modes of transportation, especially in rural areas, because transportation is not easily accessible there.'
