Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly and avoid contradicting yourself: “bike” and “bicycle” have the same meaning, so saying you never had a bike but used to have a bicycle is confusing. Also, “play with a bicycle” is less natural than “ride my bicycle.” Add one specific detail, such as where or how often you rode it, and avoid repeating “a lot.”

예시: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I rode it around my neighborhood almost every day, especially during the summer. I really enjoyed cycling with my friends after school.

제안: State your opinion clearly and support it with a specific reason or example. Avoid repeated self-corrections, fillers such as “uh,” and the unsupported claim that cycling is only popular among boys; a more balanced comparison would sound natural. Use the correct form “used to ride,” not “used to rode,” and use a linking word such as “however” or “because” to connect your ideas.

예시: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially among children and young adults. However, many people prefer cars or public transport because cycling can be unsafe on busy roads. I used to ride my bike frequently as a child, particularly in my neighborhood.

× It's rare riding bikes.

✓ It's rare for girls to ride bikes.

The structure 'It's rare riding bikes' is not grammatically natural. After the adjective 'rare' in this meaning, use the pattern 'It is rare for + person + to + base verb.' Therefore, 'for girls to ride' is the correct structure.

× I used to rode it frequently.

✓ I used to ride it frequently.

After 'used to,' use the base form of the verb, not the past-tense form. The base form is 'ride,' so the correct phrase is 'used to ride.'
