Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Expand your short answer into a brief, natural response: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences). Mention what the bike was like, who gave it to you, or a memory to make the answer more vivid.

예시: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me for my seventh birthday, and I rode it to school every day. It had a wicker basket and training wheels at first, but I learned to ride without them after a few weeks.

제안: Provide a clearer topic sentence followed by specific reasons and a linking word to support your view. Avoid one-word answers; explain why cars are more common and, if possible, mention any exceptions (e.g., in cities or among certain groups). This will make your answer more informative and natural.

예시: Not really. Most people prefer cars because public transport is limited and distances between places can be long, so driving is more convenient. However, bicycles are fairly popular in city centers among students and young professionals who want to avoid traffic.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked a question in the simple past ('Did you have a bike...'). The correct short affirmative response uses the auxiliary did for past questions: 'Yes, I did.' Using 'I had' is grammatically possible but sounds incomplete here because 'have' in the question is an action questioned with did; the natural short answer is 'Yes, I did.' Suggestion: for short answers to 'Did' questions, use 'Yes/No + did/didn't.'

× Not that much. People often use cars.

✓ Not that much. People often use cars.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable and matches the present simple tense used to describe habitual actions. No correction is necessary. Explanation: 'People often use cars' correctly uses present simple to state a general habit. Suggestion: none needed.
