Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise, avoid filler words, and keep sentences coherent and in the past tense. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., how you used it or a memorable event). Use linking words (e.g., "however", "so") correctly and avoid unclear time references. Limit to 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was blue with a front basket, and I rode it to visit friends every weekend. However, it was damaged once, so I stopped using it for a few months until my parents fixed it.

제안: The answer is relevant but could be improved by adding a clear topic sentence and one specific reason or example. Use a linking phrase to introduce the example and vary vocabulary (e.g., "cyclists", "commuters", "bicycle lanes"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and avoid repetition ("riding on their bike").

예시: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. For example, I often see commuters and recreational cyclists wearing helmets and fitted gear, and many cities now have dedicated bike lanes which encourage cycling as a safe transport option.

× Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

Using 'did have' is grammatically acceptable but unnecessary in simple past declarative sentences; prefer simple past 'had' for naturalness and concision. Suggestion: use 'I had' for clear past narration.

× It's blue and beautiful and it has a front basket.

✓ It was blue and beautiful and it had a front basket.

The student is describing a bike they possessed in the past (when they were a child). Mixing present tense 'is' and 'has' with the past context is inconsistent. Use past tense verbs 'was' and 'had' to match the past time frame.

× But one time it got damaged, so I don't have enough time to play outside.

✓ But one time it got damaged, so I didn't have enough time to play outside.

The first clause is in simple past ('got damaged') so the result clause should also be in past ('didn't have') to keep consistent past narration. Using present 'don't have' creates a tense mismatch.

× Like, yeah.

✓ (Omit) or 'I couldn't use it for a while.'

'Like, yeah.' is a filler fragment and does not add meaning. It lacks grammatical structure. Suggest either remove it or replace with a complete sentence that explains the consequence, e.g., 'I couldn't use it for a while.'

× Yes, bikes are popular in our country because whenever I go outside I always see many cyclists riding on their bike and having some fitted clothes and helmets just for their safety.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because whenever I go outside I always see many cyclists riding their bikes and wearing fitted clothes and helmets for their safety.

There are several issues: 'riding on their bike' is awkward; use 'riding their bikes' (correct preposition and plural agreement). 'Having some fitted clothes' is unnatural; use 'wearing fitted clothes'. Also 'some' is unnecessary. These changes fix verb choice and preposition use and improve naturalness while keeping present simple tense for general truth.
