Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer grammatical, more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail using a linking word. Watch verb tenses (use past) and articles. Avoid awkward phrasing like "where I was a child."

예시: No, I didn't have a real bike when I was a child, but I had a small toy bicycle. For example, it was a bright red balance bike that I rode in our courtyard, and it helped me learn to balance before I got a full-sized bike.

제안: Improve grammar (subject-verb agreement, tense consistency) and make the comparison clearer. Begin with a clear opinion, then use linking words (however, although, but) to contrast past and present, and provide a specific reason or example.

예시: I think bicycles are less popular in my country now than they used to be. For example, in the 1990s many people used bikes for daily travel, but nowadays more people prefer cars and motorcycles, so bicycle use has declined.

× I don't have a bike where I was a child, but I have a toy like a bike.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I had a toy that was like a bike.

The sentence refers to the past, so present simple 'don't have' is incorrect. Use past simple 'didn't have' and 'had' for consistent past narration. Also replace 'where' with 'when' to refer to time and use 'that was like a bike' for clearer comparison. Suggestion: use past tense verbs for past time references and use 'when' for time expressions.

× Actually in recent years the bikes seems not popular in my country, but in 1990s it is very popular.

✓ Actually in recent years bikes seem not to be popular in my country, but in the 1990s they were very popular.

The time frame 'recent years' requires present perfect or present simple plural agreement; 'bikes seems' is incorrect because 'bikes' is plural so verb should be 'seem'. A better structure is 'seem not to be popular'. For the 1990s, a past period, use past simple 'were' and include the article 'the' before '1990s'. Also use the plural pronoun 'they' to refer to bikes. Suggestion: match verb forms to subject number and time reference and include articles for decades.
