Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 48.0Sugerencia: 질문에 바로 답한 점은 좋지만, “I couldn't ride”를 반복해 말해 흐름이 끊기고 “my last and first time of experience”는 의미가 모호하고 부자연스럽습니다. 자전거가 누구의 것이었는지와 자전거를 잘 타지 못한 이유를 간결하게 설명한 뒤, 기억에 남는 경험을 구체적으로 덧붙이세요. 예를 들어 “one for my brother and one for me”와 “I was afraid of falling”처럼 표현할 수 있습니다.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My brother and I had one each, but I was afraid of falling, so I never learned to ride very well. I only remember trying it a few times.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 42.0Sugerencia: 한국에서 자전거가 인기 있다는 의견을 직접 제시한 점은 좋습니다. 다만 “a club which they can riding”은 문법적으로 부자연스럽고, “in every place”도 구체적인 의미가 불분명합니다. 자전거 모임이나 자전거 도로처럼 실제 이유를 하나 들고, 연결어를 사용해 설명을 이어가세요. “clubs where people can ride together” 또는 “if I had the chance, I would join one”처럼 표현할 수 있습니다.
Ejemplo: Yes, cycling is quite popular in Korea. Many people join cycling clubs and ride together, especially along riverside bike paths. I’d like to join a club if I had the chance.
× Yeah, when I was younger I had two bikes for me and my brother but I couldn't ride I couldn't really ride a bike well because I was pretty scared to fall down. Yeah, it was my last and first time of experience to ride bike.
✓ Yeah, when I was younger, I had two bikes for my brother and me, but I couldn't ride a bike well because I was pretty scared of falling. It was my first and last experience riding a bike.
After experience, use a gerund (verb + -ing) to describe an activity: experience riding a bike. The phrase scared of is also normally followed by a gerund when describing fear of an activity: scared of falling.
× Yeah, when I was younger I had two bikes for me and my brother but I couldn't ride I couldn't really ride a bike well because I was pretty scared to fall down. Yeah, it was my last and first time of experience to ride bike.
✓ Yeah, when I was younger, I had two bikes for my brother and me, but I couldn't ride a bike well because I was pretty scared of falling. It was my first and last experience riding a bike.
Use the article a before the singular countable noun bike. In this sentence, say riding a bike, not riding bike.
× We have a club which they can riding together in every place so if I had any chance I would join.
✓ We have a club where people can ride together, so if I had the chance, I would join.
After the modal verb can, use the base form of the verb: ride, not riding. Remember the pattern can + base verb.
× We have a club which they can riding together in every place so if I had any chance I would join.
✓ We have a club where people can ride together, so if I had the chance, I would join.
The relative clause needs a clear structure. Use where to refer to the club as a place, and make people the subject of the clause. This avoids the incorrect construction which they can riding.
