Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly and use the correct past tense: “I didn’t have.” Also, use the correct collocation “borrowed a bike from my friends,” not “borrowed to my friends.” Add one specific detail about when or where you learned to ride, and connect your ideas with a linking word such as “however” or “so.”

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. However, I often borrowed one from my friends so that I could learn to ride. We usually practiced in the park near my house.

제안: Begin with a clear general answer about your country, rather than focusing mainly on your childhood. Correct the subject–verb agreement and tense: “all of my friends had bikes,” “I was the only one who didn’t have one,” and “I practiced.” Use “borrowed one from my friends,” and complete your final idea instead of ending with the unfinished phrase “until I felt.” Add a current example or reason to support your opinion.

예시: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and teenagers. When I was a child, most of my friends had bikes, but I was the only one who didn’t have one. As a result, I often borrowed a bike from them and practiced riding in the park near my house until I felt confident.

× I don't have I didn't have a bike when I was a child but I borrowed to my friends to learn

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I borrowed bikes from my friends to learn how to ride.

Because the question asks about your childhood, use the past tense throughout the answer. Use didn't have instead of don't have. Also, the past form borrowed is appropriate for an action in the past.

× I don't have I didn't have a bike when I was a child but I borrowed to my friends to learn

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I borrowed bikes from my friends to learn how to ride.

The verb borrow is followed by from when identifying the person who lends something. Therefore, say borrowed bikes from my friends, not borrowed to my friends. A useful pattern is borrow something from someone.

× Yes, when I was a child all of my friends has a bike but only me doesn't have one that's why I often borrowed one of my friends to learn to ride. I practice in the park near my house until I felt

✓ Yes, when I was a child, all of my friends had bikes, but I was the only one who didn't have one. That is why I often borrowed a bike from one of my friends to learn how to ride. I practiced in the park near my house until I felt confident.

The answer describes your childhood, so use past-tense forms: had, didn't have, and practiced. The present forms has, doesn't have, and practice do not match the past-time setting. Use the past tense consistently when talking about completed experiences in childhood.

× Yes, when I was a child all of my friends has a bike but only me doesn't have one that's why I often borrowed one of my friends to learn to ride. I practice in the park near my house until I felt

✓ Yes, when I was a child, all of my friends had bikes, but I was the only one who didn't have one. That is why I often borrowed a bike from one of my friends to learn how to ride. I practiced in the park near my house until I felt confident.

The phrase all of my friends refers to more than one friend, so the plural noun bikes is more natural here. Use bikes when saying that each person in a group had one bike.

× Yes, when I was a child all of my friends has a bike but only me doesn't have one that's why I often borrowed one of my friends to learn to ride. I practice in the park near my house until I felt

✓ Yes, when I was a child, all of my friends had bikes, but I was the only one who didn't have one. That is why I often borrowed a bike from one of my friends to learn how to ride. I practiced in the park near my house until I felt confident.

Only me is not the correct subject structure in this sentence. Say I was the only one who didn't have one. Also, after borrowed, specify the thing borrowed: a bike. The phrase one of my friends refers to a person, so it needs the preposition from.

× Yes, when I was a child all of my friends has a bike but only me doesn't have one that's why I often borrowed one of my friends to learn to ride. I practice in the park near my house until I felt

✓ Yes, when I was a child, all of my friends had bikes, but I was the only one who didn't have one. That is why I often borrowed a bike from one of my friends to learn how to ride. I practiced in the park near my house until I felt confident.

Use from after borrowed to identify the lender: borrowed a bike from one of my friends. The preposition to is incorrect in this context.

× Yes, when I was a child all of my friends has a bike but only me doesn't have one that's why I often borrowed one of my friends to learn to ride. I practice in the park near my house until I felt

✓ Yes, when I was a child, all of my friends had bikes, but I was the only one who didn't have one. That is why I often borrowed a bike from one of my friends to learn how to ride. I practiced in the park near my house until I felt confident.

The original response contains several ideas joined together without clear sentence boundaries, and until I felt is incomplete. Use commas and full stops to separate the ideas, and complete the final clause with an adjective such as confident.
