Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question, avoid repeating similar words (bike/cycle) and remove filler words like “yeah.” Add one brief specific detail about when or how you learned to make the response richer and use a linking word if adding detail.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child, but I learned to ride a small tricycle when I was about four. As a result, I felt confident on two wheels by the time I was six.

제안: Make the answer more natural by using concise phrasing and adding one specific example or statistic. Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) to connect reason and example, and avoid repeating phrases like “in my country.”

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular because many people use them to commute short distances and avoid heavy traffic. For example, in my city many office workers ride bicycles to save time and money during rush hour.

× Yes, I do believe bikes are popular in my country because a lot of people use that as a mode of transportation and it is very convenient to go across the high levels of traffic and congestion in my country.

✓ Yes, I do believe bikes are popular in my country because a lot of people use them as a mode of transportation and they are very convenient for getting through the heavy traffic and congestion in my country.

Problems addressed: incorrect use of pronoun 'that' referring to plural 'bikes' (should be 'them'), and awkward preposition and noun choices ('go across the high levels of traffic' is unnatural). Grammar problem types: 8 (Verb + -ing form) is not directly relevant here, but main issues fall under 12 (Incorrect use of pronouns) and 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions). Correction changes 'that' to plural pronoun 'them' to match 'a lot of people' and 'bikes', and replaces 'go across the high levels of traffic' with 'getting through the heavy traffic' using the gerund 'getting' plus preposition 'through' which is natural English. Also changes 'it is very convenient' to 'they are very convenient' to agree in number with 'bikes'. Suggestions: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents, use natural collocations like 'get through traffic' or 'navigate congestion', and make verb-subject number agreement consistent (they are).

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child, although I had a cycle, which I learned in my early years of childhood. Yeah.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, although I had a bicycle, which I learned to ride in my early childhood.

Issues corrected: awkward phrasing and verb usage. 'I had a cycle' is acceptable but 'bicycle' is more natural; 'which I learned in my early years of childhood' is awkward and missing the verb 'to ride.' The corrected sentence uses the past tense 'learned' with the infinitive 'to ride' and the concise phrase 'in my early childhood.' Grammar problem types addressed: 5 (Past tense issue) for ensuring appropriate past tense structure, 26 (Sentence structure errors) for improving awkward phrasing. Suggestions: use the verb with its object when describing learning an activity ('learned to ride'), avoid redundant phrases like 'years of childhood,' and prefer natural vocabulary ('bicycle').
