Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 질문에 직접 답하는 내용은 있지만, 동사 형태와 문장 구조에서 오류가 많아 자연스럽지 않습니다. ‘like to riding’은 ‘liked riding’ 또는 ‘like riding’으로, ‘learned how to taking’은 ‘learned how to ride’로 고쳐야 합니다. 또한 과거의 경험이므로 ‘we go’와 ‘it will take’ 대신 ‘we went’와 ‘I practiced’를 사용하세요. 아버지와 주말에 공원에 갔다는 구체적인 내용은 좋으므로, 이를 2~3개의 명확한 문장과 연결어로 정리하면 더 효과적입니다.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I really enjoyed riding it. My father taught me how to ride, and we often went to the park together on weekends. I practiced regularly, so I became quite confident after a few weeks.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: 기본적인 의견은 제시했지만, 두 번째 문장의 ‘Gardening is socially used to bike’는 의미가 불분명하며 문맥에 맞지 않는 표현입니다. ‘Generally, people use bikes for transportation’처럼 정확한 표현을 사용하고, ‘save a time’은 ‘save time’으로 고치세요. 자전거의 인기가 높은 이유를 교통 체증 감소, 운동, 환경 보호 등으로 구체화하고, ‘For example’이나 ‘In addition’ 같은 연결어를 자연스럽게 사용하면 답변의 논리성과 어휘 점수가 향상됩니다. 현재 답변은 문장 간 연결과 세부 설명이 부족하므로 3문장 정도로 명확하게 구성하는 것이 좋습니다.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people use them for commuting because they can avoid traffic and save time. In addition, cycling is an environmentally friendly way to travel and helps people stay fit.
× Yes, I like to riding a bike.
✓ Yes, I liked riding a bike.
Because the examiner asked about the student's childhood, the past tense liked is needed instead of the present tense like.
× Yes, I like to riding a bike.
✓ Yes, I liked riding a bike.
After like, use a gerund with this meaning: like riding. Alternatively, you can say liked to ride, but do not use to riding.
× When I was young I learned how to taking a bike to my father and we go to the parks on the weekends.
✓ When I was young, I learned how to ride a bike from my father, and we went to the park on weekends.
After how to, use the base form of the verb: how to ride, not how to taking.
× When I was young I learned how to taking a bike to my father and we go to the parks on the weekends.
✓ When I was young, I learned how to ride a bike from my father, and we went to the park on weekends.
Use from to show the person who taught you something. The phrase learn something from someone is correct; learn something to someone is incorrect.
× When I was young I learned how to taking a bike to my father and we go to the parks on the weekends.
✓ When I was young, I learned how to ride a bike from my father, and we went to the park on weekends.
The sentence describes past events, so go must be changed to its past form went.
× So it will take how we practice to taking a bike over and over.
✓ So, that is how we practiced riding a bike over and over.
The student is describing a past experience, not a future event. Therefore, the future form will take is not appropriate here.
× So it will take how we practice to taking a bike over and over.
✓ So, that is how we practiced riding a bike over and over.
The verb practiced should be in the past tense because the practice happened during the student's childhood.
× So it will take how we practice to taking a bike over and over.
✓ So, that is how we practiced riding a bike over and over.
After practiced, use the gerund riding. The phrase practiced riding is grammatically correct, whereas practice to taking is incorrect.
× So it will take how we practice to taking a bike over and over.
✓ So, that is how we practiced riding a bike over and over.
The original sentence does not have a clear grammatical structure. Use that is how to introduce the method or process being described.
× For example, Gardening is socially used to bike so people can take bikes instead of using cars or public transportation.
✓ For example, generally, people use bikes instead of using cars or public transportation.
Socially does not express the intended meaning. Generally is the appropriate adverb when giving a broad statement about people's transportation habits.
× For example, Gardening is socially used to bike so people can take bikes instead of using cars or public transportation.
✓ For example, generally, people use bikes instead of using cars or public transportation.
The sentence is about what people do, so use the active voice: people use bikes. The passive structure is is used to bike, which is not appropriate in this context.
× And when they save a time that they go to another way.
✓ They can save time by taking another route.
Time is uncountable when referring to time in general, so do not use the article a. Say save time, not save a time.
× And when they save a time that they go to another way.
✓ They can save time by taking another route.
The phrase go to another way is not idiomatic. Use by taking another route to explain how people can save time.
× And when they save a time that they go to another way.
✓ They can save time by taking another route.
The original sentence contains an incomplete and unclear clause. The revised sentence has a clear subject, verb, and explanation of how the time is saved.
