Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your response did not answer the question. For Part 1 you should directly address the question with a brief topic sentence (yes/no or short statement) and then add 1–2 supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural, relevant, and under five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, give a quick reason or memory, and optionally mention how often you used it.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a busy neighborhood and we used public transport instead. However, I remember borrowing my friend’s bike on weekends to ride along the seaside, which was a lot of fun.

제안: Good direct answer and relevant supporting details. To improve further, add one linking word to connect ideas and include a more specific detail or brief comparison (frequency, statistics, or consequence). Keep responses concise and natural (no more than five sentences).

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in cities, because they’re cheap and convenient. For instance, I often use a shared bicycle to travel from the subway station to my office, which saves me about 15 minutes each day compared with walking.

× I live in a small city near the sea.

✓ I lived in a small city near the sea.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. This is a sentence structure/time reference error: the present tense 'live' conflicts with the past time frame. Suggestion: use past simple 'lived' to match the time context.

× I enjoy reading books and walking in the park with my friends.

✓ I enjoyed reading books and walking in the park with my friends.

Because the question asks about childhood (past), activities should be described in past tense. 'Enjoy' is present tense; change to past simple 'enjoyed' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: switch verbs to past simple when talking about habitual past actions.

× Learning English helps me meet new people and understand different cultures.

✓ Learning English helped me meet new people and understand different cultures.

This sentence uses present tense 'helps' but the context is childhood. To align with the past time frame, use past simple 'helped'. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense across sentences when referring to the same time period.

× Yes, bicycles are popular in my country, especially in cities.

✓ Yes, bicycles were popular in my country, especially in cities.

The examiner's question uses 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' which is present, but given the surrounding context about childhood, there is possible mismatch. However, if the student intends to answer generally about now, present tense is fine. If they meant childhood, use past. To follow the transcript's past context, change 'are' to 'were'. Suggestion: clarify time frame; use present for general current statements and past for childhood references.

× They are cheap and convenient.

✓ They were cheap and convenient.

To keep tense consistent with past context, change present 'are' to past 'were'. Suggestion: when discussing attributes in the past, use past tense adjectives with past-tense copula.

× For example, I often use a shared bicycle to travel from the subway station to my office.

✓ For example, I often used a shared bicycle to travel from the subway station to my office.

The adverb 'often' with present simple 'use' indicates habitual action, but the question is about childhood (past). Use past simple 'used' to indicate habitual past action. Suggestion: change habitual present verbs to past simple when describing past routines.
