Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammar (use past tense consistently), compress and organise into a clear topic sentence plus supporting details, and avoid redundancy. Use linking words for clarity. Be specific about types and features (e.g., “a BMX for tricks, a mountain bike for rough paths”). Aim for 2–4 concise sentences, correct verb forms, and accurate plurals.

예시: Yes, I did. I owned several bikes as a child: a small BMX for doing tricks and a bigger two-speed bike for riding around the neighborhood. I enjoyed the BMX most because it was light and easy to maneuver.

제안: Make the answer more fluent and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific reasons and use linking words (e.g., “however,” “because,” “therefore”). Reduce hesitation words like “uh” and avoid overgeneralisation by mentioning examples (city vs countryside) or statistics if known.

예시: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially during the summer months. However, from autumn to spring we often get heavy snowfall, which makes cycling dangerous on roads, so many people switch to public transport or cars during that period.

× When I was a child, I have a bike, a few type of bike.

✓ When I was a child, I had a bike, a few types of bike.

The sentence mixes past time marker 'When I was a child' with present tense 'have'. Use past tense 'had' to match the time frame (Grammar Problem Type ID 6: Present tense issue). Also 'a few type of bike' has a plural noun after 'few' and should be 'a few types of bike' or better 'a few types of bikes'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense and correct plural form: 'When I was a child, I had a bike and a few types of bikes.'

× Most of them have two wheels and a few speeds.

✓ Most of them had two wheels and a few speeds.

The context is past ('When I was a child'), so verbs and references should be past tense (see also Present tense issue). Here 'have' should be 'had' for past. Additionally, 'a few speeds' is acceptable for gears; the main error is tense inconsistency (Grammar Problem Type ID 1: Singular and plural issue relates to noun forms, but the primary correction is changing verb tense to past). Suggestion: keep past tense throughout: 'Most of them had two wheels and a few speeds.'

× Honestly, yes, only in summer season, because uh, from autumn to spring we have snowfall.

✓ Honestly, yes, only in the summer, because from autumn to spring we have snowfall.

Use the definite article with 'summer' when referring to a specific season in contrast to others: 'in the summer' (Grammar Problem Type ID 17: Incorrect use of the definite article). Also 'from autumn to spring' is fine; remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: say 'only in the summer' for natural phrasing.

× Of course it's a problem for cycling.

✓ Of course it is a problem for cycling.

The sentence is grammatically acceptable but using contraction 'it's' is fine; however ensure clarity: 'it is a problem for cycling' matches context. There's no need for '-ing' change; the issue was minor style. If identifying a problem type from the list, this involves verb + -ing form use in a gerund 'cycling' which is correct (Grammar Problem Type ID 8: Verb + -ing form). Suggestion: keep 'cycling' as a gerund: 'Of course it is a problem for cycling.'
