Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, avoid filler or confusion, correct tense and repeat words, and add one or two brief supporting details using a linking word. For example, mention how long you had it or a short memory to enrich the answer. Keep answers to no more than 4–5 sentences and use appropriate past tense forms.

예시: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was four years old, and I rode it every weekend until I was ten. Because my neighborhood was safe and had quiet streets, I could practice freely and became quite confident on two wheels.

제안: Answer the question directly rather than criticizing the examiner. Give a clear opinion, then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Avoid vague or off-topic remarks and keep to 2–4 sentences. Use appropriate vocabulary to sound natural and mature.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, cities have dedicated bike lanes and many students ride to school, which shows that cycling is a common and practical choice.

× Limit. What do you mean limit? Yes, I had a bike when I when I was a child. I had a bike since I was four years old.

✓ I’m not sure what you mean by 'limit'. Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I had a bike since I was four years old.

The initial word 'Limit.' is unclear and seems out of context, creating a sentence structure problem (ID 26). It should be phrased as a short clarification: 'I’m not sure what you mean by 'limit'.' Also there is a repeated phrase 'when I when I', which is a redundancy and disrupts sentence structure. Remove the duplicate to form 'when I was a child.' The rest of the sentence uses 'since' with a past time point; while 'since I was four years old' is commonly used in present perfect contexts ('I have had a bike since I was four'), in simple past it is better to say 'I had a bike from when I was four years old' or keep 'I had a bike since I was four years old' only if implying continuity; to avoid ambiguity use 'from when I was four years old'. Suggestions: replace the unclear single word with a short clarification, remove duplicate words, and use 'from when' for past-tense continuity: 'I had a bike from when I was four years old.'

× The answer you gave me feels very childish rather than an adult answering it.

✓ The answer you gave me sounds very childish for an adult.

This sentence contains awkward structure and comparison making it a sentence structure error (ID 26). 'Feels very childish rather than an adult answering it' is ungrammatical and unclear. Better to use 'sounds' for opinions about tone, and simplify the comparison to 'childish for an adult' or 'not like an adult answer.' Suggestion: say 'The answer you gave me sounds very childish for an adult.'
