Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is very short and contains an unnatural phrasing (“Not. I did not.”). Give a direct topic sentence, then add one or two supporting details (reason, memory, or brief example) using linking words to make it coherent. Keep it under 5 sentences.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Because my family had limited money, my parents preferred to spend on school supplies and clothing. As a result, I usually walked to school or shared a bicycle with my older cousin on weekends.

제안: Your answer answers the question but mixes a personal detail that distracts from the general opinion. Start with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then give specific supporting points (who uses bikes, why they’re popular, where). If you want to add a personal note, separate it with a linking phrase.

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people use them for short commutes and exercise because they are inexpensive and convenient in crowded cities. However, I personally didn’t own one as a child because my family couldn’t afford it.

× Not. I did not.

✓ No, I did not.

The student used 'Not' alone, which is not a correct response in English. A simple negation to a yes/no question should use 'No' or a full clause 'No, I did not.' This is a sentence structure and usage issue: replace the single word 'Not' with the appropriate negative response 'No' and include a comma before the following clause if continuing. Suggestion: Use 'No' for short negative answers or 'No, I did not' for a complete response.

× Yes, it is very popular but I didn't have enough money to buy one.

✓ Yes, they are very popular, but I didn't have enough money to buy one.

The question asks about 'bikes' (plural), so the pronoun referring back should be plural ('they') and the verb should agree ('are'). Using 'it is' mismatches the plural noun. Correct subject-verb agreement is required: 'bikes' -> 'they are'. Also add a comma before the conjunction 'but' for clarity. Suggestion: Ensure the pronoun and verb number match the noun being referred to; say 'They are very popular' when referring to 'bikes'.
