점수: 82.0제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, with good descriptiveness and personal feeling. To improve, remove fillers (e.g., “uh”), combine repetitive sentences to be more concise, and add one specific detail (e.g., where you rode or a memorable moment) using a linking word to make it more coherent. Keep within 3–4 sentences.
예시: Yes, I did — I had a small red bike that I used to ride with my friends every afternoon after school. Because we often rode along the riverbank, those rides became unforgettable and always left me feeling cheerful and refreshed.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 68.0제안: Your main idea is understandable, but there are grammar errors and a repetition that reduce clarity. Improve by correcting grammar (e.g., ‘prefer motorbikes to bicycles’), avoid redundancy, and add a specific example or brief reason using a linking word. Keep answers direct and no more than 4 sentences.
예시: Not really — most people prefer motorbikes to bicycles because they are faster and more convenient for commuting. However, I still often see children riding bikes in parks or on quiet streets for fun and exercise.
× I used to, uh, cycle with my friends every afternoon.
✓ I used to cycle with my friends every afternoon.
The original sentence includes a filler 'uh' which is natural in speech but unnecessary in a written correction. No grammatical tense error exists; keep past habitual 'used to' for repeated past actions. Suggestion: remove fillers when writing to be clear.
× Those rides were unforgettable for me and it always made me feel cheerful and refreshed.
✓ Those rides were unforgettable for me and they always made me feel cheerful and refreshed.
There is a pronoun reference and verb agreement issue: 'Those rides' is plural, so the pronoun should be 'they' and the verb 'made' should agree with the plural subject. The original used singular 'it' with past tense 'made' which is inconsistent. Suggestion: match pronoun number to the antecedent and keep past tense for past experiences.
× Not really, most people in my country for for motorbikes to bicycles because they are faster and more convenient for commuting.
✓ Not really; most people in my country prefer motorbikes to bicycles because they are faster and more convenient for commuting.
The sentence has a wrong verb and a repetition 'for for'. The intended verb is 'prefer' followed by 'X to Y'. Use a semicolon or period to separate the initial short response from the explanation. Suggestion: use 'prefer A to B' to express comparative preference and remove duplicate words.
× For commuting however, I still often see children riding bicycles for fun or exercise.
✓ For commuting, however, I still often see children riding bicycles for fun or exercise.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable, but punctuation is improved by placing a comma after 'commuting' and setting off 'however' with commas. Tense and structure are correct: 'see' in present tense describes a habitual observation. Suggestion: add commas for clarity.
