Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammatical accuracy and conciseness, and add a brief supporting detail. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, correct the family phrase, and give a short reason or memory using a linking word. Keep answers under five sentences.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Because my family couldn’t afford one, we relied on walking and public transport instead. For example, I often walked a long way to school with my friends, which made me more independent.

제안: Reduce hesitation, give a fuller answer with a topic sentence and a specific reason, and use a linking word to connect ideas. Mention where bikes are less popular (cities or rural areas) or give a short comparison to strengthen your response.

예시: Not really — bikes are less popular than cars and scooters in my country because many people prefer faster transport for commuting. For instance, in cities most people use scooters to avoid traffic, whereas bikes are more common only in parks or among cyclists for exercise.

× No, I don't have a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike.

The question asks about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the response should use past tense. Using present tense 'don't have' is inconsistent. Suggestion: use past simple 'didn't have' to match the time reference.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I was living a very poor family.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I was living in a very poor family. Alternatively: '...because my family was very poor.'

The original sentence has a preposition error and unnatural structure. 'Living a very poor family' is incorrect; the verb 'live' typically needs the preposition 'in' before a noun indicating place ('in a poor family'), or the more natural phrasing is to say 'my family was very poor.' Also, 'I was living in a very poor family' is past continuous which can be acceptable, but 'my family was very poor' is clearer. Suggestion: use 'in' with 'living' or rephrase to 'my family was very poor.'

× No, uh, people usually like cars and, uh, scooters in my country more than bikes.

✓ No, uh, people in my country usually prefer cars and scooters to bikes.

The phrase 'like X more than Y' is grammatically okay, but the word order and comparison preposition are more idiomatically expressed as 'prefer X to Y.' Also move 'in my country' earlier for clarity. Suggestion: use 'prefer cars and scooters to bikes' or 'like cars and scooters more than bikes' and place time/place phrases in a clear position.
