Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Give a direct topic sentence then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Mention why you didn’t have one or describe an alternative (e.g., walking, bus) to add content and make the answer more natural. Keep it within 3–4 short sentences and avoid one-word answers.

예시: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school because my neighborhood was small and everything was close by. Also, my parents preferred that I use public transport for longer trips, so I rarely rode a bike.

제안: Start with a clear opinion then give concrete reasons and a brief example using linking words (for example, because, however, for instance). Mention factors such as infrastructure, culture, weather, or economics to make your answer specific and persuasive. Aim for 2–4 sentences total.

예시: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because cities lack safe bike lanes and traffic can be dangerous. For example, most people prefer motorbikes or cars for commuting since they are faster and more convenient in heavy traffic.

× I think bikes are not popular in my country.

✓ I don't think bikes are popular in my country.

The original sentence uses a positive reporting verb 'I think' followed by a negative statement 'are not popular', which is grammatically acceptable but sounds less natural in English. Native speakers typically express this idea by negating the main clause with 'I don't think' and using the positive predicate that follows. Change to 'I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' for more natural, idiomatic English. This correction follows present tense usage and maintains the intended meaning. Suggested improvement: Use 'I don't think + [statement]' when expressing a negative opinion rather than 'I think + not'.
