Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Focus on grammatical accuracy, clear timeline, and conciseness. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using correct verb forms and linking words. For example, correct past tense verbs (was/were → was, begin → began) and avoid contradictory statements (e.g., saying both 15 and before 12).

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I learned to ride at about 15, which was difficult for me because most of my friends had already learned earlier. However, before I was 12 I sometimes borrowed my cousin’s bike to practise.

제안: Improve sentence structure, use correct verb tense and linking words, and give a specific comparison or reason. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add supporting details with linking phrases like 'however' or 'nowadays' to show contrast. Make vocabulary plural where necessary (bike → bikes) and complete the final thought.

예시: Yes, bikes are popular in my country. Twenty years ago, most people cycled to work or school because it was cheap and convenient. However, nowadays more people own cars, so cycling is less common in cities, although it remains popular in rural areas.

× No, I did not have a bike when I were a child because I begin to study, ride a bike when I was 15 years old, which is not very easy to me.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child because I began to learn to ride a bike when I was 15 years old, which was not very easy for me.

This sentence has several past-tense and related errors. 'Were' should be 'was' to match the singular subject 'I' in the past tense (past tense subject-verb agreement). 'Begin' should be 'began' to use the simple past tense consistent with the rest of the sentence. 'Study, ride a bike' is incorrect word choice and order; use 'learn to ride a bike' to express acquiring the skill. 'Which is not very easy to me' should be 'which was not very easy for me' to use past tense and correct preposition ('for' expresses difficulty experienced by someone). Suggestion: keep verbs that describe past actions in past tense and use appropriate verbs for learning (learn to ride) and prepositions (for).

× So before 12, yes.

✓ So before I was 12, yes.

The original fragment 'So before 12' omits the subject and context; it is unclear and ungrammatical. Adding 'I was' makes the age reference grammatical and complete. This fixes a sentence structure/ambiguity issue by supplying the missing subject and verb.

× Yes, bike is popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

This sentence uses a singular countable noun without an article. To talk generally about bicycles, use the plural 'bikes are' or 'The bike is' with an article. Also change verb 'is' to 'are' to agree with the plural noun. Suggestion: use plural forms when speaking about things in general.

× Uh, especially 20 years ago most people go out to work or study by bike, but nowadays more and more people have a car so but bike is become.

✓ Especially 20 years ago, most people went to work or school by bike, but nowadays more and more people have cars, so bikes are becoming less common.

Multiple tense and word-choice errors: '20 years ago' requires past tense 'went' not 'go'. 'Study' as a verb is acceptable but 'school' is a more natural noun collocation: 'go to school.' 'Have a car' should be plural 'have cars' when speaking generally, and 'so but' is redundant and incorrect—use 'so' or 'however.' 'Bike is become' is ungrammatical; use progressive 'are becoming' for a changing trend and plural 'bikes.' Suggestion: match tense to time markers, use natural collocations (go to work/school), avoid redundant conjunctions, and use correct progressive or simple forms for trends.
