Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Clarify the question briefly, then answer directly with a topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Avoid asking for unnecessary clarification about common words. Use linking words to connect ideas. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).

예시: If I needed clarification I would ask once, then answer: “Do you mean a bicycle as in a pedal bike? If so, yes — I had a bicycle when I was a child. For example, I got it for my ninth birthday and I used it to ride to the park every weekend. As a result, I became quite confident cycling on quiet streets.”

제안: Give a direct topic sentence, then add specific supporting details and a linking word to make it coherent. Use correct grammar (e.g., ‘bikes are popular’), provide reasons or examples, and keep it under five sentences. Vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., ‘common’, ‘widely used’).

예시: “Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and practical. For instance, many people use bicycles to commute short distances to work or school, and cities have dedicated bike lanes to support cyclists. Therefore, cycling is common among students and low‑income workers.”

× What do you mean about bike?

✓ What do you mean by 'bike'?

The error is using the preposition 'about' with 'mean' and omitting an article or quotation for the noun. The correct verb-preposition collocation is 'mean by' when asking someone to clarify their meaning. Also, 'bike' as a countable noun generally needs an article or quotation marks when referred to in this way, so 'by "bike"' or by 'a bike' is appropriate. Suggestion: use 'mean by' and include an article or quotes for the noun when asking for clarification. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× The bike is a popular in my country.

✓ Bicycles are popular in my country.

This sentence has an article and number problem. 'The bike is a popular' incorrectly uses the definite article 'the' with a singular noun and an adjective without a noun following 'popular'. To express a general fact about a class of things, use the plural noun without an article: 'Bicycles are popular'. Also 'bike' is less formal; 'bicycles' fits general statements. Suggestion: use the plural noun without 'the' and ensure 'popular' modifies the noun directly. Grammar problem type ID: 22
