Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer more concise and natural, start with a direct topic sentence, use clear linking words and provide a brief specific detail (time/place or reason). Avoid repetition (e.g., "when I was younger" repeated) and small grammar fixes ("teach me on how to" → "teach me how to"). Keep it to 2–4 sentences.

예시: No, I didn't have a bike as a child, but my older brother did. He tried to teach me how to ride in our local park when I was about eight, yet I found it hard to balance and eventually stopped practicing.

제안: Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific reason with a linking word and a brief example or comparison. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "eco-friendly" instead of "save the environment") and avoid vague phrases like "I feel like." Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

예시: Yes, they are very popular. For one thing, many people choose cycling because it is an eco-friendly and inexpensive way to commute, especially in cities where traffic and parking are difficult.

× When I was younger, he would teach me on how to ride the bike, but as the time went by I couldn't catch it so I eventually gave up.

✓ When I was younger, he would teach me how to ride the bike, but as time went by I couldn't get the hang of it so I eventually gave up.

The phrase 'teach me on how to' is incorrect; English uses 'teach someone how to do something' without 'on'. Also 'couldn't catch it' is unclear and non-idiomatic when referring to learning a skill; 'get the hang of it' is the appropriate idiomatic verb + -ing/infinitive construction meaning to learn or become comfortable with a skill. Suggest removing 'on' and using 'get the hang of it' to clarify meaning. Grammar issue focuses on incorrect verb pattern after 'teach' (use infinitive 'how to ride') and non-idiomatic verb choice; correct by using proper verb patterns and idiomatic expression.

× Yes, most definitely. I feel like it is very common to see people riding around on their bikes as they save the environment and it's another way to get around town.

✓ Yes, most definitely. I feel like it is very common to see people riding around on their bikes because they help save the environment and it's another way to get around town.

The original sentence uses 'they' ambiguously; 'they' could refer to 'people' or 'bikes'. To clarify, replace 'as' with 'because' and rephrase to indicate that bikes (not people) help save the environment: 'they help save the environment'. This fixes the pronoun reference and makes the causal relationship clear. Additionally, 'as' can be ambiguous in causal contexts; 'because' is clearer. Grammar issue: incorrect or ambiguous pronoun reference; fix by making the antecedent explicit and choosing a clearer conjunction.

✓ When I was younger, he would teach me how to ride a bike, but as time went by I couldn't get the hang of it so I eventually gave up.

Using 'the bike' implies a specific bike previously mentioned; in general statements about learning to ride, the indefinite article 'a' is more natural: 'ride a bike'. This is a singular/plural/article nuance: choosing 'a' (singular indefinite) is appropriate here. Suggest using 'a bike' for general reference.
