Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 과거 경험을 묻는 질문이므로 현재형인 “I have” 대신 “I had”를 사용하세요. “I usually riding”은 “I usually rode”로 고치고, 친구들과 자전거를 탔던 구체적인 장소나 기억을 한 가지 덧붙이면 답변이 더 자연스럽고 선명해집니다. 마지막의 “when I become dirt”는 의미가 불분명하므로 삭제하거나 의도한 내용을 정확하게 표현하세요.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it with my friends around our neighborhood, and we had a lot of fun. I especially remember racing each other in the park.

Suggestion: 먼저 “Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country”처럼 질문에 직접 답하세요. “bikes are very popular activity”는 “cycling is a popular activity”로 고치고, “web tune”과 “a big fan of the wheel”처럼 의미가 모호한 표현은 사용하려는 내용에 맞게 명확히 바꾸세요. 자전거가 인기 있는 이유를 한 가지 구체적으로 설명하고, “because”나 “for example”로 연결하면 답변의 논리가 좋아집니다.
