Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and directly answers the question with a specific detail (age and who bought it). To improve, make the response slightly more natural and varied by adding one or two brief supporting details (e.g., what kind of bike it was or a short memory), using a linking word if you add extra information. Keep the reply concise (no more than 3–4 sentences) and avoid fillers.

예시: Yes. My father bought me a bright red mountain bike when I was seven. I loved riding it around our neighborhood every afternoon, and it was the first time I felt really independent.

제안: Your answer gives an opinion and compares past and present, which is good. However, reduce hesitation words (‘uh’, ‘I don't know’), correct small grammar mistakes, and use linking words for coherence. Provide one clear reason or a concrete example to support your view (e.g., traffic, public transport, or fewer bike lanes). Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.

예시: I think biking was more popular when I was a child because I used to see many people cycling in parks and on side streets. Nowadays fewer people cycle, probably because more families own cars and city roads are busier, which makes cycling less convenient.

× I think it was more popular when I was a child because, uh, on that age I saw a lot of people biking around parks.

✓ I think it was more popular when I was a child because, at that age I saw a lot of people biking around parks.

The phrase 'on that age' is an incorrect preposition use; the correct preposition is 'at' for ages. Also the main clause 'I think it was more popular when I was a child' correctly uses past reference, so only the preposition needed correction. Use 'at that age' to refer to a specific age or time in life. Suggestion: Replace 'on' with 'at' when referring to ages or similar time expressions.

× But right now, uh, I really didn't, I really don't see people riding their bikes.

✓ But right now, I really don't see people riding their bikes.

This sentence mixes past ('didn't') and present ('don't') in the same thought about the current situation. Because the speaker begins with 'right now' the present tense is required. Remove the incorrect past auxiliary 'didn't' to maintain consistent present-tense reference. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent with time adverbs like 'right now' by using present tense only.

× I don't know, because maybe they are using, uh, cars more often.

✓ I don't know, maybe they are using cars more often.

The original contains unnecessary filler commas and hesitations; grammatically the sentence is fine but can be smoothed. The present continuous 'are using' is acceptable to describe a current trend. Remove extra commas and fillers for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Omit unnecessary hesitations and punctuation to make the sentence clearer and more fluent.
