Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Expand your response with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Mention what kind of bike it was, how often you used it, and a brief memory or reason to make the answer more natural and informative. Keep it concise (no more than 3–4 sentences) and use linking words like “because” or “so” if needed.

예시: Yes, I did. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for my sixth birthday. I rode it almost every afternoon around the neighborhood because I loved feeling free and practicing new tricks.

제안: Give a direct topic sentence (Yes/No) and immediately support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words such as “because,” “however,” or “for example” to connect ideas and make the answer coherent. Aim for 2–3 sentences with concrete evidence (e.g., traffic, public transport, cycling infrastructure, cultural attitudes).

예시: No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or motorbikes due to long commutes and poor cycling infrastructure. For example, there are few dedicated bike lanes and heavy traffic, so many avoid cycling for safety reasons.

× I think no.

✓ I don't think so.

The original sentence 'I think no.' is not a natural or grammatically correct response in English. The speaker intends to disagree with the idea that bikes are popular in their country. In English, negative responses to opinion statements use a negative verb construction (do not/don't) plus a comment like 'so' or a full clause: 'I don't think so.' This uses the auxiliary verb do for present simple negation and the pronoun 'so' to refer back to the previous statement. Suggestion: use 'I don't think so.' or 'I don't think bikes are popular in my country.'
