Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be careful with tense and expand briefly. Use past tense for past experiences and give a short supporting detail (one or two sentences) with linking words. Keep it natural and concise.

예시: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle when I was about eight, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every day after school.

제안: Improve grammar, article usage and add a linking phrase plus a specific reason or example. Use plural forms and combine sentences for fluency while keeping within five sentences.

예시: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country. For example, many people cycle to work or school because it is cheaper and often faster than driving in congested cities.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use the past tense. Saying 'I have' is present tense and incorrect here. Use 'I did' to indicate possession in the past. Suggestion: match the verb tense to the time reference (use past simple for completed past situations).

× Yes, I think bike is popular in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The student used singular 'bike' with a general statement about popularity. For general facts about a category, use the plural form 'bikes' or a singular with the definite article ('the bike') but 'bikes are popular' is natural. Also the main verb 'think' is present so plural noun needed for generalization. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements about things in a society (e.g., 'Cars are expensive', 'Bikes are popular').

× Some people ride a bike to the work or schools.

✓ Some people ride bikes to work or school.

There are multiple article/number issues: when speaking about habitual actions people often use the plural 'bikes' without 'a'. Also 'to the work' is incorrect; use 'to work' (no article) for the activity/place in general. 'Schools' should be singular 'school' when paired with 'to' meaning attending school, or plural 'schools' without 'the' could work but 'to school' is idiomatic for attending. Suggestion: for routines, say 'ride bikes to work' or 'ride a bike to work', and use 'to school' for attending school.
