Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make your answer more natural, concise and better structured. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid vague phrases and grammar mistakes (e.g., “adapt to a beginner” should be “designed for beginners”). Keep to a maximum of 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I did. It was a small children’s bike with training wheels designed for beginners. I don’t recall the exact color, but I remember practicing in my driveway until I felt confident to ride without help.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific observations and a concise comparison. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., “however,” “for example”). Correct repetition and improve sentence rhythm by breaking long sentences into two. Provide one concrete example or statistic if possible.

예시: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country because I see many people cycling to work and school every day. However, they are not as dominant as in the Netherlands; for example, in Amsterdam almost everyone uses a bike for short trips, whereas here people still prefer cars for longer journeys.

× what I remember is this was like adapt to a beginner, you know, when you learn to bike.

✓ what I remember is that this was like adapted for a beginner, you know, when you learn to ride a bike.

The original uses 'adapt' (base verb) incorrectly after 'was like'; the correct form is the past participle 'adapted' to show something designed for beginners. Also 'adapted for' is the correct preposition and 'ride a bike' is the natural collocation. Suggestion: use past participle 'adapted' and 'ride' instead of 'bike' as a verb here.

× I can see them every day I can see people biking every day but I do not think it is more popular than country like the Netherlands where the bike is king and you can see them like everywhere for example in Amsterdam.

✓ I see them every day; I can see people biking every day, but I do not think it is more popular than in countries like the Netherlands, where the bicycle is king and you can see them everywhere, for example in Amsterdam.

Run-on sentence and inconsistent tense/phrase usage: 'I can see them every day I can see' repeats and can be simplified to present simple 'I see' or present continuous 'I can see'. Comparison needs 'in countries like the Netherlands' (plural and preposition 'in'). 'Bike' as a noun formalized to 'bicycle' and 'like everywhere' is informal; use 'everywhere'. Also add punctuation to separate clauses. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions, include 'in' before country comparisons, and use 'bicycle' for clarity.

× but I do not think it is more popular than country like the Netherlands where the bike is king

✓ but I do not think it is more popular than in countries like the Netherlands, where the bicycle is king

The phrase 'than country like the Netherlands' lacks the plural 'countries' or the preposition 'in'; comparisons require 'than in countries like...' or 'than a country like...'. Also 'bike' is better as 'bicycle' in formal speech. Suggestion: include 'in' and use 'countries' or rephrase as 'a country like the Netherlands'.
