Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more grammatically correct, concise, and reduce hesitations. Start with a clear topic sentence, use correct verb forms (e.g., "I used to cycle"), and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep the answer to no more than 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to cycle in the apartment courtyard with my cousin because we lived in the same block and enjoyed exploring nearby streets. As a result, I became confident riding long distances by the time I was ten.

제안: Avoid short filler responses and improve grammar and specificity. Begin with a direct statement, then give a specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "for example"). Use correct collocations (e.g., "popular among children", "courtyards").

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many families encourage children to play outside. For example, you often see groups of children riding together in apartment courtyards and local parks after school.

× Yeah, I had a bike when I was a child and I used to cycling in our, uh, yard with my cousin because, uh, we were living in the same, uh, apartment and uh, it was one of our hobbies.

✓ Yeah, I had a bike when I was a child and I used to cycle in our yard with my cousin because we lived in the same apartment and it was one of our hobbies.

The phrase 'used to' should be followed by the base form of the verb, not the -ing form, so 'used to cycling' is incorrect; use 'used to cycle' (Grammar problem type ID 8). Additionally, 'we were living' is acceptable but the simple past 'we lived' is more appropriate with 'when I was a child' to show habitual past (Present/Past tense consistency, Grammar problem type ID 6/5). Remove filler 'uh' and the redundant commas; 'our, uh, yard' should be 'our yard', and 'the same, uh, apartment' should be 'the same apartment'. Suggestions: use 'used to' + base verb for past habits, prefer simple past for completed/habitual past contexts, and avoid filler words in formal responses.

× Yeah, exactly. Riding bikes are common between the children and you can see most of the children riding together in country in courtsyards.

✓ Yeah, exactly. Riding bikes is common among children, and you can see most children riding together in courtyards in the country.

'Riding bikes' as a gerund phrase functions as a singular noun phrase and requires a singular verb: use 'is' instead of 'are' (Grammar problem type ID 27). 'Between the children' is incorrect; 'among children' is the correct preposition for more than two (Grammar problem type ID 11). 'Most of the children' can be simplified to 'most children'. 'In country' needs the article 'the country' or reordering; better: 'in the country'. 'Courtsyards' is a misspelling; correct word is 'courtyards'. Suggestions: ensure verb agrees with the gerund subject, use 'among' for groups, include articles where needed, and check spelling of compound nouns.
