Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and use clearer, fluent language. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, umm), and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum.

예시: Yes, I did. It felt like a small motorcycle to me, and I was always very happy when I rode it because I could explore my neighborhood freely.

제안: Answer directly, correct minor errors, and organize reasons with linking words. Remove fillers and unclear words. Give two clear reasons (e.g., cost and convenience) and a brief example or result.

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Mainly, gasoline is expensive so cycling is cheaper, and also bikes are convenient for short trips in crowded cities, so many people choose them instead of cars.

× For me it was like a motorcycle and when I, uh, when I was driving it, I was really umm, happy.

✓ For me it was like a motorcycle, and when I rode it I felt really happy.

The original sentence uses 'was driving' which is grammatically possible but repetitive and awkward with 'when I, uh, when I was driving it'. The verb tense should be simple past to match 'For me it was' and to sound natural: 'when I rode it'. Also 'I was really umm, happy' is simplified to 'I felt really happy' for clarity and conciseness. Remove filler repetition and unnecessary auxiliary 'was' to improve fluency. Suggestions: use simple past verbs consistently (was, rode, felt) and avoid filler repetition.

× Uh, I think that in my country bikes are really popular kids nowadays.

✓ Uh, I think that in my country bikes are really popular with kids nowadays.

The original sentence omits the preposition 'with' needed to link 'popular' to the group 'kids'. Without 'with' the phrase is ungrammatical. Use 'popular with kids' to show who likes the bikes. Also keep 'nowadays' for present-time reference.

× Gasoline has a really, uh, high price and it's more comfortable to ride by bike.

✓ Gasoline is really expensive, and it's more comfortable to travel by bike.

'Gasoline has a really high price' is not wrong but is wordy and unnatural; native speakers say 'gasoline is expensive'. 'Ride by bike' mixes verbs and prepositions awkwardly; use 'travel by bike' or 'ride a bike'. Here 'travel by bike' fits the comparison with gasoline cost. Also remove filler words for clarity.

× A kiss, umm, it's much cheaper.

✓ Also, it's much cheaper.

The phrase 'A kiss' appears to be a mispronunciation or speech error for 'also'. This is a sentence-level issue: replace the incorrect word with 'Also' and combine into 'Also, it's much cheaper' to logically connect with the previous sentence. Ensure the sentence clearly references what is cheaper (traveling/riding a bike).
