Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly, then explain when and why you received the bike. Improve the grammar by saying “bought it for me,” “when I finished primary school,” and “because my secondary school was far from my home.” Avoid the redundant expressions “drive it to ride it” and use “ride it to school” instead. Keep the answer to three or four clear sentences and use the past tense consistently.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I finished primary school and started secondary school. Since my new school was quite far from home, I rode my bike there every day. It was a convenient and healthy way to get to school.

제안: Begin with a complete and natural sentence such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Explain the reasons clearly, using “because” or “as” to link your ideas. Correct “it’s a popular” to “they are popular” and replace “transportation cost is a little bit expensive” with “public transportation can be quite expensive.” Use “people ride bikes to get from one place to another” instead of the unnatural phrase “from any place to another place.” Add a specific detail, such as who commonly rides bikes or where they use them.

예시: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who live in smaller cities. Public transportation can be quite expensive, so many people ride bikes to get from one place to another. They are also convenient because they are easy to park and help people avoid traffic.

× My parents bought it to me once I finished my primary school.

✓ My parents bought it for me once I finished primary school.

The preposition for is used when something is purchased on behalf of someone. We say buy something for someone, not buy something to someone. Also, primary school is used without the definite article when referring to education in general.

× My parents bought it to me once I finished my primary school and will go to secondary school.

✓ My parents bought it for me after I finished primary school and was about to go to secondary school.

The answer describes a past event, so will go is not appropriate. Use a past form such as was about to go to maintain the past-time setting.

× I used to drive it to ride it from home to the school.

✓ I used to ride it from home to school.

When school refers to its usual purpose, such as attending school, it normally does not take the. The phrase ride a bike is also the natural expression for traveling by bicycle.

× Yes, it's a popular because the transportation cost is a little bit expensive.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular because transportation costs are a little expensive.

Popular is an adjective and cannot be used after a without a noun. The subject should be bikes, and the sentence should say bikes are popular. The noun costs is plural when referring to transportation expenses in general.

× The transportation cost is a little bit expensive.

✓ Transportation costs are a little expensive.

When discussing transportation expenses in general, use the plural noun costs with the plural verb are. The adjective expensive describes costs, although high is often a more natural adjective for costs.

× We used to ride a bike from any place to another place.

✓ People ride bikes from one place to another.

The question asks about the current popularity of bikes, so use the present tense ride rather than used to ride, which describes a past habit that is no longer true. Use the plural noun bikes when speaking about bicycles in general.

× We used to ride a bike from any place to another place.

✓ People ride bikes from one place to another.

Any place and another place are not natural in this general expression. Use one place to refer to the starting location and another to refer to a different location. This creates the standard expression from one place to another.
