Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make your answer grammatically correct, expand slightly with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Use the past tense for childhood and avoid one-word replies. Add a linking phrase to keep it natural.

예시: Yes, I did — I had a red bicycle when I was a child. I used to ride it to my friend’s house and around the neighborhood almost every day, which helped me learn road awareness and balance.

제안: Your answer is on the right track but needs more precise vocabulary, fewer hesitations, and one or two specific examples or reasons. Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) and avoid repetition. Keep it to 3–4 sentences maximum.

예시: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them for commuting and exercise. For example, city parks and dedicated bike lanes are usually full of cyclists in the mornings and evenings. Also, local schools encourage cycling, which has helped increase its popularity.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I had.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Have' is present tense; 'had' is the correct past-tense form of 'have'. Use past simple to match the time reference. Suggestion: Pay attention to the time marker in the question ('when you were a child') and choose past tense verbs (e.g., 'had').

× Yes, I do think that bikes are popular in my country because we have a lot, a lot of cyclists and you can see them around even in the, uh, park or playground area.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because we have many cyclists, and you can see them around even in parks or playgrounds.

The original sentence uses 'do think' which is grammatically acceptable but unnecessary in a simple present statement; simplifying to 'I think' is more natural. 'A lot, a lot of cyclists' is repetitive and informal; 'many cyclists' is clearer. 'the park or playground area' incorrectly uses the definite article and singular forms when speaking generally; use plural nouns ('parks' and 'playgrounds') without 'the' for general statements. Also remove filler 'uh' for clarity. Suggestion: Use simple present 'I think' for opinions about general truths, replace repetitive phrases with 'many', and use plural nouns without 'the' when referring to places in general.
