Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve naturalness and grammar. Use correct tense consistency and more concise phrasing. Add one specific supporting detail using a linking word to enrich the reply (max 3–4 sentences).

예시: No, I didn't. My parents were worried I might have an accident, so they preferred that I learn to cycle when I was older. For example, they signed me up for lessons at age twelve rather than buying a bike when I was six.

제안: Good content and coherence, but make the language slightly more formal and combine ideas with linking words. Provide a specific example or comparison to show awareness of context. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. For instance, many people cycle in parks or on dedicated lanes at weekends, because cycling is an affordable way to exercise and relieve stress compared with going to the gym.

× My parents wouldn't let me have one.

✓ My parents wouldn't let me have one.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable for a past habitual refusal using wouldn't; no change needed. Keep as is.

× They are worried that I might have an accident and they preferred I learned to cycle when I was older.

✓ They were worried that I might have an accident, and they preferred that I learned to cycle when I was older.

Two tense-related issues: the first clause refers to past worry so 'are worried' should be 'were worried' to match past context (present tense issue). The second clause uses 'preferred' (past) followed by 'I learned' — after 'preferred that' it is more natural to use a past subjunctive pattern or 'that I learn' in reported preference; however in past reporting 'preferred that I learned' is acceptable in informal speech. To be clearer and fully consistent with past reference, change 'are' to 'were' so both verbs indicate past. Suggestion: use 'They were worried that I might have an accident, and they preferred that I learn to cycle when I was older' for formal correctness.

× Yeah, bikes are popular in my country.

✓ Yeah, bikes are popular in my country.

This sentence is correct: it states a general present fact using the simple present 'are popular.' No change needed.

× I see a lot of cyclists, especially during the weekends.

✓ I see a lot of cyclists, especially during the weekend.

'During the weekends' is understandable but nonstandard; use 'on weekends' for a recurring action or 'during the weekend' for a specific weekend. Because the speaker refers to a habitual observation, the preferred form is 'on weekends.' Suggestion: 'I see a lot of cyclists, especially on weekends.'

× They enjoy it, using it as an exercise and stress reliever.

✓ They enjoy it, using it as exercise and as a stress reliever.

'Using it as an exercise' is awkward because 'exercise' usually functions uncountably here so omit the article. Also 'stress reliever' needs an article when singular: 'as a stress reliever.' Alternatively use both without articles: 'using it for exercise and stress relief.' Suggestion: 'They enjoy it, using it for exercise and stress relief.'
