Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is direct, well-organized, and includes specific details such as your age, the bicycle’s color, and how you used it. However, change “I love riding” to “I loved riding” to keep the answer in the past tense. You could also divide the long second sentence into two sentences to make it sound more natural and effective.

예시: Yes, I did. When I was eight, my father bought me a lovely blue bicycle for my birthday. I loved riding it around the neighborhood every afternoon because it made me feel free, and I could explore the area with my friends.

제안: You give a clear opinion and provide relevant reasons, but there are several grammar and word-choice problems. Use “Most families own” instead of “Most family owned,” “short trips” instead of “short trip,” and “around town” instead of “around the top.” Add one specific supporting detail, such as who commonly uses bicycles or where people ride them, to make the answer more developed.

예시: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. Most families own at least one because bikes are affordable and convenient for short trips around town. In particular, many students ride them to school, while adults often use them to run errands or avoid traffic.

× Yes, I did. When I was 8, my father bought me a lovely blue bicycle for my birthday and I love riding around the neighborhood every afternoon because it made me feel free and I could explore with my friends.

✓ Yes, I did. When I was 8, my father bought me a lovely blue bicycle for my birthday, and I loved riding around the neighborhood every afternoon because it made me feel free and I could explore with my friends.

The question asks about a past experience, and the surrounding verbs are in the past tense. Therefore, love should change to loved. Keep the tense consistent when describing past experiences.

× Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. Most family owned at least one bicycle because they are affordable and convenient for short trip around the top.

✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. Most families own at least one bicycle because they are affordable and convenient for short trips around town.

Families must be plural because most refers to more than one family. Trips must also be plural because the sentence refers generally to short journeys. Use a plural noun after most and when speaking about things in general.

× Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. Most family owned at least one bicycle because they are affordable and convenient for short trip around the top.

✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. Most families own at least one bicycle because they are affordable and convenient for short trips around town.

The answer describes a current situation in the country, so the present-tense verb own is needed instead of the past-tense verb owned. Use the present tense for general facts and current habits.
