Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Correct the grammar and answer the question directly. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (maximum 5 sentences). Use past tense and include a reason or short memory to make it specific. Also avoid repeating the examiner's question.

예시: Yes, I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight years old. I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon because it was faster than walking. I remember practicing until I could ride without training wheels.

제안: Give a direct answer then expand with specific reasons and examples using linking words. Keep it concise (1–3 supporting sentences) and include comparison or context to show depth. Use phrases like 'however', 'because', or 'for example' to connect ideas.

예시: Not really; bikes are not very popular in my country because most people prefer cars for long distances. For example, cities have limited bike lanes and public transport is more convenient, so only a few people cycle for leisure.

× Do you have a bike when you are child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The examiner asked about the student's past (when you were a child), so the student should use past tense. The original sentence uses present tense 'do you have' and 'are child' which is incorrect. Also 'a child' needs the article 'a' and 'are' must be 'were' for past. Use 'Did you have' for past simple questions and 'were a child' for the time clause. Suggestion: Form past-time questions with 'Did' + base verb and use 'when you were a child' for the time reference.

× No, bikes are not popular in my country.

✓ No, bicycles are not very popular in my country.

Grammatically the original sentence is acceptable (present simple for general truth). However, 'bikes' is informal and adding 'very' clarifies degree; using 'bicycles' is slightly more formal. If the student means a general fact, present simple 'are not popular' is correct. Suggestion: Use 'bicycles are not very popular in my country' to sound more natural and precise.
