Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise, correct grammar, and organise into a clear topic sentence plus two supporting details. Avoid repetition and use linking words to show time and reason. Also correct tense/quantity errors (e.g., "memories" not "a memories").

예시: Yes. I had a black bike when I was a child. I rode it every day with my friends, which gave me many happy memories. However, I stopped using it as I grew older because I became busier with school and other activities.

제안: Give a direct topic sentence, avoid contradictory phrases ("usually never... occasionally"), and add specific reasons or comparisons using linking words (e.g., "because", "although"). Use clearer vocabulary (e.g., "less common" not "really less").

예시: Generally no — bicycles are not very popular in my country anymore. Although people used to ride them more often in the past, car ownership and public transport improvements have made cycling less common. As a result, I rarely see people riding bikes in the city nowadays.

× Oh yes, I used to have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Oh yes, I used to have a bike when I was a child.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses 'used to' to describe a past habitual state.

× It was a black bike and I loved it deeply every single day I used to take a stroll with it, especially with my friends and I loved every time of it.

✓ It was a black bike, and I loved it deeply; every single day I would take a ride on it, especially with my friends, and I enjoyed every moment.

Run-on sentence and awkward phrasing: combine independent clauses with proper punctuation and replace 'take a stroll with it' (stroll is for walking) with 'take a ride on it'. Use 'would' or 'used to' for habitual past actions and 'enjoyed every moment' is natural. Suggestion: break long sentences into clauses, use appropriate verbs for biking.

× But as I grew up I kinda stopped using it.

✓ But as I grew up, I kind of stopped using it.

Colloquial 'kinda' should be 'kind of' in semi-formal speech; commas needed after introductory clause. Suggestion: use 'kind of' and include comma after 'growing up' for clarity.

× But I have a really memorable memories with my bike and friends.

✓ But I have really memorable memories with my bike and my friends.

Article and adjective misuse: 'a memories' is incorrect because 'memories' is plural; remove 'a' and add 'my' before 'friends' for clarity. Also 'really memorable' is acceptable; ensure number agreement. Suggestion: match singular/plural and include possessive when referring to 'my friends'.

× No, umm generally speaking in my country bikes are not popular.

✓ No, generally speaking, in my country bikes are not popular.

Mostly correct but needs commas around the introductory phrase 'generally speaking' for clarity. Suggestion: punctuate introductory phrases.

× I usually never see them occasionally or even rarely.

✓ I rarely see them.

Conflicting adverbs: 'usually', 'never', 'occasionally', and 'rarely' together create confusion. Choose one appropriate adverb; 'rarely' conveys the intended meaning. Suggestion: keep one clear frequency adverb.

× Umm, I think in past we had a culture of riding bikes or using bikes, but nowadays it has become really less.

✓ I think in the past we had a culture of riding bikes, but nowadays it has become much less common.

Missing article 'the' before 'past'; awkward phrase 'using bikes' redundant with 'riding bikes'; 'really less' is ungrammatical—use 'much less common'. Suggestion: use 'the past', remove redundancy, and use 'less common' to compare frequency.
