Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammar and naturalness: use correct past tense and contractions sparingly, give a brief reason and one supporting detail. Keep it within 1–3 sentences and avoid redundancy.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. Instead, I usually walked or took public transport to school, which meant I became quite independent early on.

제안: Make the answer more natural and slightly more specific: start with a clear topic sentence, add one or two specific supporting details (who bikes, where, why), and avoid filler words. Use linking words for coherence.

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in the Philippines. Many people ride for leisure and fitness, especially on weekends in parks and along coastal roads, and there is also a growing community of commuter cyclists in urban areas because cycling is cheap and convenient.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The sentence mixes present tense 'don't have' with the past time phrase 'when I was a child'. Use past tense for actions or states that occurred in the past. Change 'don't have' to 'didn't have' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: Use consistent tense with time markers (e.g., 'when I was...') and choose past simple for completed past states.

× I don't get to afford to have one.

✓ I couldn't afford to have one.

The phrase 'don't get to afford' is ungrammatical for expressing inability to pay in the past. Use past modal/ability expression 'couldn't afford' or 'didn't have enough money to afford'. 'Couldn't afford' correctly conveys lack of financial means in the past. Suggestion: Use 'couldn't afford' or 'didn't have enough money to' for past inability to pay.

× Yep, bikes are popular in my country here in the Philippines and there are a lot of bikers Like it's their hobby and they are really into it.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country, the Philippines, and there are a lot of bikers. For many, it is a hobby and they are really into it.

This run-on sentence uses informal 'Yep', capital 'Like' mid-sentence, and lacks clear clause boundaries. Also 'here in the Philippines' is better integrated as a nonrestrictive phrase. Split into two sentences, replace informal 'Like' with a connector or rephrase, and use 'it is' instead of 'it's' for slightly more formal spoken response. Ensure punctuation for clarity. Suggestion: Break long responses into clear sentences, avoid mid-sentence capitalisation errors, and replace filler words like 'Like' with more appropriate connectors.
