Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammar, verb tense consistency and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Use past tense for childhood events and avoid redundancy.

예시: Yes, I did. I loved riding bikes when I was a child. For example, my family and I biked to the park every weekend, which helped me become confident on busy roads and made those weekends very memorable.

제안: Correct grammar and complete your ideas. Begin with a direct opinion, then give specific reasons or examples and use linking words. Use articles and correct adjective forms (e.g., 'public transport is quite expensive') and avoid trailing off.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in some places. For instance, in New York City many people cycle because public transport can be expensive and crowded, and cycling is often faster for short journeys.

× Yes I do. I love biking.

✓ Yes I did. I loved biking.

The question asks about possession when you were a child (past time). The student's reply uses present tense ('do', 'love') which is inconsistent. Use past tense to match the time reference: 'did' for 'have' and 'loved' for 'love'. Suggestion: always match verb tense to the time expression (here 'when I was a child').

× When I was a child I always go to bike with my family every weekend.

✓ When I was a child I always went biking with my family every weekend.

Multiple issues: The verb 'go' should be in past tense 'went' to agree with 'When I was a child'. 'to bike' is not the natural collocation here; use the gerund 'biking' after verbs of movement or activity. Also word order benefits from adding a comma after the time clause: 'When I was a child, I always went biking...'. Suggestion: use past tense verbs and correct verb forms (went, biking).

× Yes, I think so. Bikes are popular in the United States because the public transport here quite expensive and I live in the New York City, so.

✓ Yes, I think so. Bikes are popular in the United States because public transport here is quite expensive and I live in New York City.

Problems: missing verb 'is' after 'public transport', making the clause ungrammatical (present tense issue). 'the New York City' incorrectly uses the definite article; city names generally omit 'the' (article error). 'so' at the end is unnecessary and incomplete; remove it. Also 'public transport' is uncountable so no 'the' is needed. Suggestion: include the correct present tense verb 'is', remove unnecessary articles and fillers, and keep tense consistent for general statements about popularity.
