Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, but could be more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Avoid wordy phrases like "as far as I remember" and "personal bike."

예시: No, I didn't have my own bike as a child. Instead, I often borrowed my brother's bike when I wanted to ride, usually on weekends around our neighborhood.

제안: Good idea but language is informal and slightly repetitive. Give a clear topic sentence, then provide a specific reason or example using a linking word. Replace vague phrases like "buying a product or something like that" with a concrete example.

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. For example, I see many people commuting by bike to work or to the market every day, especially in the morning and evening.

× As far as I remember, I didn't own my personal bike.

✓ As far as I remember, I didn't own a personal bike.

The original sentence uses 'my personal bike' which is not ungrammatical but sounds unnatural in this context. The past tense 'didn't own' is correct. Change 'my personal bike' to 'a personal bike' to reflect that the speaker did not possess any bike, not specifically one tied to them. Suggestion: use 'a' when speaking generally about possession in the past.

× However, every time I wanted to ride a bike, I always asked my brother to loan me his.

✓ However, whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I always asked my brother to lend me his.

The issue is the incorrect verb choice: 'loan me' is less natural in this personal context; native usage prefers 'lend me'. Also 'every time' is acceptable but 'whenever' is more natural with 'wanted'. The modal/verb usage correction replaces 'loan' with 'lend' (lend = give temporarily; loan as verb is possible but less common in informal speech). Keep past tense 'wanted' and 'asked' consistent.

× I guess definitely yes, because I see them every day.

✓ I guess so, definitely, because I see them every day.

This sentence has awkward word order. The present tense 'see' is correct for a habitual action. Reordering to 'I guess so, definitely,' makes the response more natural. 'Guess definitely yes' is not idiomatic; use 'I guess so' or 'I definitely think so.'

× Whenever I go out for buying a product or something like that, I always see people riding a bike.

✓ Whenever I go out to buy something, I always see people riding bikes.

The phrase 'go out for buying a product' is ungrammatical; use the infinitive 'to buy' after 'go out'. 'A product or something like that' is wordy; 'something' is sufficient. Also use plural 'bikes' to match 'people' (each person riding a bike). Finally 'riding a bike' can be pluralized to 'riding bikes' for natural collocation.
