Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and natural but too short and lacks supporting details. To improve, start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific details (where you rode it, who taught you, or a memorable moment) and use a linking word to connect ideas. Keep responses concise (max 5 sentences) and use varied vocabulary (e.g., thrilled, loved, memorable).

예시: Yes, I did — I had a small red bike when I was about seven. I rode it every day around the neighborhood with my older brother, and he taught me how to balance, which was a memorable moment. Because of that experience, I became confident cycling on busy streets as a teenager.

제안: This answer is confusing and contains grammar and vocabulary mistakes. Improve by giving a clear topic sentence (Yes/No and degree of popularity), then provide specific reasons or comparisons using linking words (for example, because, however). Use correct phrases (e.g., “young and old people,” “on Instagram” is irrelevant unless explained). Mention concrete facts: common uses (commuting, sport), infrastructure, or comparison with other countries. Keep sentences short and coherent.

예시: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially for short trips and exercise. For example, many people cycle to work in cities because public transport can be crowded. However, cycling is less widespread than in countries like the Netherlands or Italy because we have fewer bike lanes and less cycling culture.

× Yes, and my country is kinda popular.

✓ Yes, and bikes are quite popular in my country.

The original sentence uses 'my country is kinda popular' which is off-topic and unclear. The question asks about bikes, so the subject should be 'bikes' and present simple is appropriate for general facts. Use 'quite' instead of colloquial 'kinda' for clearer formal English. Suggestion: Keep subject aligned with question (bikes) and use present simple for general statements.

× A lot of young old people are Instagram.

✓ A lot of young and older people use Instagram.

The original has 'young old people' which is ungrammatical and confusing. Also 'are Instagram' incorrectly treats Instagram as a state verb; the correct verb is 'use'. The corrected sentence separates age groups with 'and' and uses 'use Instagram' in present simple to describe habitual action. Suggestion: Separate age groups clearly ('young and older') and use appropriate verbs like 'use' for social media.

× And we're very popular, but of course not so as in the Italian or France.

✓ And they are very popular there, but of course not as much as in Italy or France.

The original mixes pronouns and country names incorrectly and misuses comparative structure 'not so as in'. Use 'not as much as' for comparing degree. Use proper country names 'Italy' and 'France' and clarify the subject: 'they' (bikes) or 'biking' in those countries. Present simple is used for general comparisons. Suggestion: Use 'not as much as' for comparisons of degree, use correct country names, and ensure the subject is clear.
