Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Use correct grammar and a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitation and keep it concise. Start with a past-tense statement, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. For example, correct verb forms (had, rode) and smoother phrasing will improve clarity and naturalness.

예시: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was a child, and I often rode it with my family in the local playground. Because we went there every weekend, I learned to ride without training wheels by the time I was seven.

제안: Begin with a clear opinion, then support it with specific reasons and a linking phrase. Avoid contractions like 'cause' in formal speech and replace with 'because' or 'since'. Add one concrete example or comparison to strengthen the answer.

예시: No, I don't think bikes are very popular in Hong Kong. Because public transport is fast and convenient, most people commute by train or bus, so cycling is uncommon. For instance, my neighbours usually take the MTR to work rather than ride bicycles.

× I have a bike when I was a child and I usually, uh, cycling in a playground with my family.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child and I usually cycled in a playground with my family.

The sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past time reference 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had'. Also 'usually ... cycling' uses a gerund where a past simple verb is required to indicate habitual past action; change to 'usually cycled'. Suggestion: Keep past time expressions consistent by using past simple for habitual past actions (e.g., 'I had... and I usually cycled...').

× I usually, uh, cycling in a playground with my family.

✓ I usually cycled in a playground with my family.

The original has an unnecessary comma and the verb form is incorrect ('cycling' without auxiliary). Remove filler punctuation and use past simple 'cycled' with preposition 'in a playground' is acceptable but more natural is 'at a playground' or 'in the playground'. Suggestion: Use 'at a playground' for location and ensure correct verb form: 'I usually cycled at a playground with my family.'

× Well, unfortunately I don't think bikes are quite popular and prevalent in my country 'cause I live in Hong Kong and basically we usually go to work or school by public transport and we seldom use the bikes.

✓ Well, unfortunately I don't think bikes are very popular or prevalent in my country because I live in Hong Kong and generally we go to work or school by public transport, so we seldom use bikes.

'Quite popular and prevalent' is awkward; use 'very popular or prevalent'. Conjunction 'cause' is informal; use 'because'. 'Basically' and 'usually' overlap; choose 'generally'. 'Use the bikes' is unnecessary article; plural noun without article is correct: 'use bikes'. Also maintain present simple for habitual actions (we go, we seldom use). Suggestion: Use formal connectors and avoid redundant adverbs; remove unnecessary articles before plural nouns.
