Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more direct and concise with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid redundancy (e.g., "actually") and keep to under five sentences.

예시: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I wasn't interested in cycling because I preferred playing indoor games like video games and reading, so my parents never bought one for me.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No/Partly). Use accurate vocabulary (e.g., "public transport" or "cars") instead of "prestige". Give one specific reason and an example, and avoid filler words like "yeah."

예시: I don't think bicycles are very popular in Korea. Mainly people prefer cars and convenient public transport, so many streets have few bikes; for example, in Seoul most commuters use the subway or buses for daily travel.

× I think it's not popular in Korea because we have a lot of prestige, which are much more convenient.

✓ I think they are not very popular in Korea because we have a lot of public transport, which is much more convenient.

The original sentence misuses the pronoun 'it' to refer to 'bikes' (plural) and uses 'prestige' incorrectly. Use 'they' for plural 'bikes'. 'Prestige' is the wrong word; context suggests 'public transport' or 'transport options'. Also match verb number: 'which is much more convenient' refers to 'public transport' (singular noun phrase) so use 'is'. Use 'not very popular' for natural negation. Suggestion: Replace 'it' with 'they' for plural reference, change 'prestige' to 'public transport' or 'other transport options', and ensure the relative clause verb agrees with its noun.

× So that's why there aren't a lot of bicycles in the street, yeah.

✓ So that's why there aren't a lot of bicycles on the streets.

'In the street' is less natural here; use 'on the streets' to describe general presence in public areas. The original has correct verb agreement with 'there aren't', but the prepositional phrase is awkward. Also plural 'streets' fits general statement. Suggestion: Use 'on the streets' or 'on the road' depending on meaning.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I didn't enjoy riding a bike, actually.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I didn't enjoy riding one, actually.

Grammatically the original is acceptable, but it's repetitive to say 'riding a bike' after 'have a bike'; replacing the second occurrence with 'one' avoids repetition and reads more naturally. Tense usage (past) is correct and matches the question. Suggestion: Use pronoun 'one' to avoid repetition and improve fluency.
