分數: 78.0建議: 문장 구조가 자연스럽고 직접적으로 질문에 답했으나 답변을 확장할 때 구체적인 세부사항(나이, 장소, 배운 내용)과 연결어 사용이 부족합니다. 또한 문장이 한 덩어리로만 되어 있어 풍부한 어휘와 약간의 설명을 더하면 점수를 올릴 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 언제부터 언제까지 탔는지, 어떤 기술을 배웠는지, 또는 그 경험이 자신에게 어떤 의미였는지를 덧붙이세요.
範例: Yes, I did. My dad gave me a small red bike when I was about six, and we practiced riding together every weekend in the park near our house. Over time I learned to balance and ride without training wheels, which made me feel more independent and confident.

分數: 82.0建議: 직접적으로 질문에 답하고 이유도 제시했지만 약간 반복되는 표현(‘many’)과 단순한 문장 구조가 눈에 띕니다. 연결어를 사용해 논리 흐름을 개선하고 구체적인 예시(도시명, 통계적 수치, 특정 집단의 이용 방식 등)를 추가하면 더 설득력 있는 답변이 됩니다.
範例: Yes, I believe so. Cycling is especially common in cities like Seoul, where dedicated bike lanes are widespread, so many people use bicycles for short commutes and leisure. For example, students often cycle to school and office workers may use e-bikes to avoid traffic during rush hour.
× Yes, when I was younger my dad gave me a bike so we practiced together on weekends.
✓ Yes, when I was younger my dad gave me a bike, so we practiced together on weekends.
The original sentence needs a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so' because it connects two independent clauses. Add the comma to improve sentence structure and clarity. Suggestion: place a comma before 'so' when joining two complete sentences.
× Bicycles are very popular in my country.
✓ Bicycles are very popular in my country.
This sentence is grammatically correct; 'Bicycles' (plural) matches the plural predicate 'are' and conveys general popularity. No change needed.
× Many people own bikes and there are many bicycle lanes on many roads, so cycling is a common way to commute and exercise.
✓ Many people own bikes, and there are many bicycle lanes on roads, so cycling is a common way to commute and exercise.
Reduce repetitive use of 'many' for style and add a comma before 'and' because it joins two independent clauses. Also 'on roads' is more natural than 'on many roads' after removing redundancy. These are style and clarity improvements rather than strict grammatical corrections.
