Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Avoid repeating words (e.g., 'a bike' twice) and use slightly more varied vocabulary (e.g., 'couldn't afford one').

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child. My parents couldn’t afford one at the time, so I usually walked to school or used public transport instead.

제안: Make the answer clearer and more grammatical. Begin with a direct opinion, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word (e.g., 'because' or 'however'). Use correct collocations (e.g., 'public transport' not 'transportations') and avoid awkward phrasing like 'short distance' without context.

예시: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because most people rely on public transport like the MTR or private cars. However, bikes are commonly used for short trips or recreational rides in parks.

× I did not have a bike when I was a child because my parents were financially unstable, so they weren't able to provide me a bike.

✓ I did not have a bike when I was a child because my parents were financially unstable, so they weren't able to provide me with a bike.

Add the appropriate preposition 'with' after 'provide' to form the correct verb + preposition collocation 'provide someone with something'. This is an incorrect use of a preposition (Grammar Problem Type ID 11) related to a past-tense statement. Suggestion: use 'provide me with a bike' or 'buy me a bike'. Note: the past tense is otherwise correct.

× I would say that it's not quite common for a bike as in my country majority of the people usually take transportations like the MTR or by car.

✓ I would say that bikes are not very common in my country, because the majority of people usually take public transportation like the MTR or travel by car.

Original has singular/plural mismatch and incorrect noun forms: 'for a bike' and 'transportations' are incorrect. Use plural 'bikes' to refer generally, and uncountable 'public transportation' or singular 'transportation' instead of 'transportations' (Grammar Problem Type ID 1). Also adjust word order for clarity. Suggestion: 'bikes are not very common' and 'public transportation'.

× Other than that, bikes are usually for short distance.

✓ Other than that, bikes are usually used for short distances.

The sentence lacks proper verb construction and plural noun form for 'short distances'. Use passive or active construction 'used for short distances' to express purpose; change 'distance' to plural 'distances' or use 'short-distance trips' (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). Suggestion: 'used for short distances' or 'for short-distance trips'.
