Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammar and tense consistency, reduce hesitations, and make the response more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repeating the same idea.

예시: No, I didn’t have my own bike as a child, but I often used my grandfather’s. It was quite large, so at first it was difficult to balance, however after a few weeks of practising I could ride it comfortably around the neighborhood.

제안: Fix subject-verb agreement and pronoun errors, avoid repetition, and complete your thought. Use linking words to structure examples and reasons, and provide a specific observation or statistic if possible.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many students and commuters use bicycles to get to school or work because they are cheap and convenient. Additionally, there are numerous cycling groups on social media that organise weekend rides and share tips, which shows cycling culture is growing.

× I don't have a bike when I was a child, but my grandfather has one which I used to practice and, uh, play.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but my grandfather had one which I used to practice on and play with.

Tense inconsistency: 'don't have' is present tense but the sentence refers to the past ('when I was a child'), so it should be 'didn't have'. Also use past tense 'had' for the grandfather's possession. Prepositional usage: 'practice' requires 'on' for practicing with a bike and 'play' typically takes the preposition 'with' when indicating the object. These changes make the sentence temporally consistent and grammatically natural. Suggestion: Use past simple for past facts (didn't have, had) and include appropriate prepositions ('practice on', 'play with').

× It was a big bike, but uh, I managed to train with it and practice with it.

✓ It was a big bike, but I managed to train on it and practice with it.

Preposition choice: 'train with it' is understandable but 'train on it' is more natural when referring to practising riding a bike. The sentence is in past tense and 'managed to' correctly matches past time, so no tense change is needed. Removing filler 'uh' also improves fluency. Suggestion: Use 'train on' for riding practice and keep consistent past tense verbs.

× I think it's quite popular.

✓ I think they're quite popular.

Number agreement and pronoun reference: The question asks about 'bikes' (plural). Saying 'it's' (it is) refers to a singular noun. Use 'they're' (they are) to agree with the plural subject 'bikes'. Suggestion: Match verb number with the noun being discussed (bikes -> they are).

× If you go on the road, you can see a lot of people who's using bikes to either go to school, to their jobs, or to just go somewhere and just ride your bike.

✓ If you go on the road, you can see a lot of people who are using bikes to either go to school, to their jobs, or just to go somewhere and ride their bikes.

Pronoun and relative clause errors: 'who's' is a contraction of 'who is' or 'who has' but the correct relative pronoun is 'who' followed by 'are' for plural 'people'. Also maintain consistent pronouns: 'your bike' incorrectly shifts perspective; use 'their bikes' to match 'people'. Redundant 'just' and repeated 'to' can be removed for clarity. Verb form: 'using' is fine but must be paired with correct auxiliary 'are'. Suggestion: Use 'people who are' + plural possessive 'their bikes' and avoid unnecessary repetition.

× Also if you go to social media you can see a lot of pages and groups that

✓ Also, if you go on social media you can see a lot of pages and groups that support or promote cycling.

Fragment: The original sentence ends incomplete ('that') and lacks a main verb. Preposition choice: use 'on social media' not 'to social media'. Add a verb or clause to complete the thought (e.g., 'that support or promote cycling'). Suggestion: Complete the clause after 'that' and use 'on social media' for correctness.
