Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: 질문에 직접 답한 점은 좋지만, 관사와 소유격이 빠졌습니다. ‘bought bike’ 대신 ‘bought me a bike’ 또는 ‘bought a bike for me’라고 말하세요. 자전거를 어떻게 탔는지나 얼마나 좋아했는지 한 가지 구체적인 정보를 덧붙이면 답변이 더 풍부해집니다.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was seven, my dad bought me a bike, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 50.0Sugerencia: 의견을 먼저 말한 것은 적절하지만, ‘Because’로 문장을 시작해 답변이 끊기고 ‘my childhood friends had a bike, everyone’은 어색한 표현입니다. 현재 자국에서 자전거가 인기 있는 이유를 설명하고, ‘for example’이나 ‘because’로 구체적인 근거를 연결하세요. 어린 시절의 경험만 말하기보다 지금의 상황과 연결하면 질문에 더 정확히 답할 수 있습니다.
Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many people use them for exercise and short trips, especially in areas with good bike lanes.
× Yes, when I was seven years old, my daddy bought bike for me.
✓ Yes, when I was seven years old, my daddy bought a bike for me.
A singular countable noun such as 'bike' needs an article. Use 'a' before 'bike' because it is being mentioned for the first time.
× Yes, of course. Because when I was young my childhood friends had a bike, everyone.
✓ Yes, of course. When I was young, all my childhood friends had bikes.
The sentence beginning with 'Because' is a dependent clause and cannot stand alone here. Also, 'everyone' is incorrectly placed at the end. Use 'all my childhood friends' to clearly express that every friend had a bike.
× That's why I thought that.
✓ That's why I think so.
The question asks for your current opinion, so use the present-tense 'think' rather than the past-tense 'thought.' 'Think so' is also the natural expression for agreeing with or restating the idea that bikes are popular.
