Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammar (past tense), keep answer concise and natural, add a clear topic sentence and one specific supporting detail with a linking word. Avoid repetition. Use past tense: 'I didn't have a bike.' Give a brief reason and, if possible, an extra detail (e.g., family preference or other transport).

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I was very focused on my studies and attended school every day. As a result, my parents preferred I spend time on homework and after‑school classes rather than cycling, so we never bought one.

제안: Give a direct opinion first, then support it with one or two specific, linked reasons. Avoid repetition and vague language like 'I'm not sure' twice. Use linking words (for example, however, because) and provide concrete observations (e.g., traffic, public transport, cycling lanes).

예시: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer motorbikes or cars for convenience. For example, many cities lack safe bike lanes and public transport is often faster, so people tend to use motorized transport rather than cycling.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child because I often study at schools, at school every day, so most of the time we don't have time to go and buy a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I often studied at school every day, so most of the time we didn't have time to go and buy a bike.

The student mixes present tense with past-time expressions ('when I was a child'). Use past tense throughout: 'didn't have' (negative past of have) and 'studied' (past of study). Also use singular 'school' in this context. Maintain consistent past tense to match the time frame and improve clarity. Suggestion: Use past simple for actions and states that happened in the past (e.g., 'I didn't have', 'I studied', 'we didn't have time').

× I'm not sure about that because almost in this generation I can say that most people use phones every day instead of biking outside.

✓ I'm not sure about that because in this generation I would say that most people use phones every day instead of riding bikes outside.

The phrase 'almost in this generation' is awkward and 'biking outside' is acceptable but 'riding bikes' is more natural here. The main issue is clarity and register rather than strict tense; 'would say' softens the opinion and fits the tentative 'I'm not sure'. Ensure verbs match the speaker's intended modality: use 'use' for habitual present and 'would say' for a tentative assessment. Suggestion: Replace awkward time phrase with 'in this generation' and use 'would say' for a cautious opinion; use 'riding bikes' for natural phrasing.
