Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly, then add one or two specific details. Your ideas are relevant and well connected, but correct the tense and word-choice errors: use “loved riding” for a past childhood habit, “near the school” only once, and “race each other” instead of “rage is raise each other.” You could also use a clearer linking phrase such as “Because of this” or “As a result.”

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I loved riding it with my friends every weekend. We lived near a spacious field beside our school, so we often cycled around the area and explored different paths. Sometimes, we even raced each other for fun.

제안: Start with a grammatically complete topic sentence: “Bicycles aren’t very popular in Thailand.” Improve subject–verb agreement and plurals by changing “cycling ... feel” to “cycling ... feels,” “motorbikes or car” to “motorbikes or cars,” and “bicycle” to “bicycles.” Use a clear cause-and-effect structure, and specify that people mainly use motorbikes and cars because they are more convenient for commuting.

예시: Bicycles aren’t very popular in Thailand, especially in busy cities. There are relatively few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling on main roads can feel unsafe. As a result, most people choose motorbikes or cars for their daily commute because they are faster and more convenient.

× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and I love riding with my friends every weekend.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I loved riding with my friends every weekend.

The answer describes a past period of the speaker's life, so the past-tense form loved is more appropriate than the present-tense form love. Keep the verb tense consistent when talking about childhood experiences.

× We lived near a spacious field near the school so we would cycle around, explore the area and sometimes rage is raise each other for fun.

✓ We lived near a spacious field near the school, so we would cycle around, explore the area, and sometimes race each other for fun.

The phrase rage is raise is not a grammatically correct verb phrase. The intended expression is probably race each other. Use race to describe competing with friends while cycling. Commas also help separate the clauses and items in the list.

× Not really bicycle and very popular where I lived in Thailand because there are few dedicated bike lanes so cycling on main roads feel unsafe.

✓ Not really. Bicycles are not very popular where I lived in Thailand because there are few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling on the main roads feels unsafe.

The original sentence is missing the verb are after Bicycles. A complete sentence needs a subject and a verb. Adding are not makes the first clause grammatically complete.

× Not really bicycle and very popular where I lived in Thailand because there are few dedicated bike lanes so cycling on main roads feel unsafe.

✓ Not really. Bicycles are not very popular where I lived in Thailand because there are few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling on the main roads feels unsafe.

The sentence refers to bicycles in general, so the plural noun Bicycles is needed instead of the singular noun bicycle. Use plural nouns when discussing a general category.

× Not really bicycle and very popular where I lived in Thailand because there are few dedicated bike lanes so cycling on main roads feel unsafe.

✓ Not really. Bicycles are not very popular where I lived in Thailand because there are few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling on the main roads feels unsafe.

Cycling is a gerund functioning as a singular subject, so it must take the singular verb feels, not feel. Singular subjects generally take verbs ending in -s in the present tense.

× As a result, most people choose motorbikes or car for daily travel, especially for commuting in busy cities.

✓ As a result, most people choose motorbikes or cars for daily travel, especially for commuting in busy cities.

The sentence compares two types of vehicles in general: motorbikes and cars. Therefore, car should be pluralized as cars to match motorbikes and the general meaning.
