Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Give a direct answer then expand with brief, relevant details. Avoid one-word or blunt replies that sound abrupt or rude. Use a topic sentence followed by 1–2 supporting details (e.g., reasons, a memory, or what you used instead) and linkers if needed.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn’t afford one, so I usually walked to school or took public transport. Because of that, I learned to be independent early and still prefer walking for short trips.

제안: Answer directly and then explain or qualify your view with specific examples or comparisons. Avoid unsupported or extreme statements like “they banned them” unless true; instead, clarify current situation, reasons, or regional differences and use linking words to connect ideas.

예시: Not really, bicycles aren’t very popular in most cities. Many people prefer motorcycles or cars because of long distances and heavy traffic. However, in some smaller towns or among students, cycling is still common because it’s cheap and convenient.

× No, we were very poor.

✓ No, we were very poor.

This sentence is already grammatically correct and matches the past tense question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?'. 'We were very poor' correctly uses the past form of the verb 'be'. No change needed.

× No, they banned them.

✓ No, they have banned them.

The examiner asked in the present about current popularity: 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' The student's reply 'No, they banned them' uses a simple past tense verb 'banned', which implies a specific past action but lacks clarity about the present situation. Use present perfect 'have banned' to indicate that authorities have banned bikes and the effect continues to the present. If the banning happened at a specific past time and is finished, 'they banned them' could be acceptable, but for the context of current popularity, 'they have banned them' or 'they're banned' (passive) is clearer. Suggestions: use 'They have banned them' or passive 'They are banned' depending on whether you want to emphasize the action or the current state.
