Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be careful with accuracy and minor errors, keep answers concise and natural, use correct verbs, and avoid contradictions. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep to under 5 sentences.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a hand-me-down from my older brother, so it was a bit too big and I had to practice hard to learn to balance on it. Despite that, I enjoyed riding it and still cycle regularly because it relaxes me and keeps me fit.

제안: Good structure and relevant details. To improve further, vary vocabulary, add a brief example or statistic for specificity, and use linking words to connect reasons smoothly. Keep sentences natural and concise.

예시: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. For example, many teenagers cycle together for fun and there are community races on weekends; moreover, many commuters choose bikes because they are cheap, convenient and provide healthy exercise.

× Yes, I used to ride a bike when I was young.

✓ Yes, I used to ride a bike when I was young.

No grammatical correction needed; sentence correctly uses 'used to' for past habitual action. Keep as is.

× I got it as a hand me down from my older brothers, but it was a bit of a struggle because the bike was oversized for me and I had to learn to balance on it.

✓ I got it as a hand-me-down from my older brothers, but it was a bit of a struggle because the bike was oversized for me and I had to learn to balance on it.

The mistake is a word-formation/compound noun issue related to hyphenation rather than core grammar list, but it affects correctness. Use 'hand-me-down' as a hyphenated compound noun. This keeps singular/plural nouns correct and clarifies the meaning. No change to tense or agreement is needed.

× And to be honest, I'm still writing on a bike and I love it.

✓ And to be honest, I'm still riding a bike and I love it.

The student used 'writing' instead of the present participle 'riding' for the action of using a bicycle. This is a word choice error involving the present participle form. Replace 'writing' with 'riding' to convey the intended meaning. The present continuous 'I'm still riding' correctly expresses an action that continues to the present.

× Yes, I think so. Bicycles are popular in my country because many teenagers ride together as a leisure activity and cycling is also a common sport.

✓ Yes, I think so. Bicycles are popular in my country because many teenagers ride together as a leisure activity, and cycling is also a common sport.

Sentence is grammatically correct in tense and agreement. Only a punctuation improvement (comma before 'and') clarifies the coordination of clauses. Tenses are appropriate: present simple describes general facts.

× In addition, a lot of people use bikes to commute to work since they are cheap, convenient and good exercise.

✓ In addition, a lot of people use bikes to commute to work since they are cheap, convenient, and good exercise.

The sentence correctly uses present simple for a general statement. Add a comma before the final item in the list (Oxford comma) for clarity. No tense or agreement changes required.
