Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly and use the past tense consistently. Say “I didn’t have” instead of “I don’t have,” and use “taught myself” rather than “thought myself.” Also, “know how to buy” does not fit the meaning here; you probably mean “know how to ride.” Organize your answer with a clear reason and one specific detail, and avoid repeating similar ideas.

예시: No, I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child. However, I taught myself how to ride one, and I really enjoyed cycling around my neighborhood. I often borrowed my friends’ bikes during the weekends.

제안: Give a direct answer using the plural form: “Bikes are not very popular.” Avoid repeating “mode of transport” and “transportation,” and remove fillers such as “umm.” Use linking words such as “because” or “instead” to explain the contrast clearly. Add a specific reason, such as the convenience of motorcycles and pedicabs or the hot weather and busy roads in the Philippines.

예시: No, bikes are not very popular in the Philippines. Motorcycles and pedicabs are more common because they are convenient and can travel through busy streets easily. In addition, the hot weather can make cycling uncomfortable, especially during the day.

× I don't have my own bike when I was a child but I do know how to buy and I thought myself on how to and I love riding a bicycle and go around.

✓ I didn't have my own bike when I was a child, but I knew how to ride one, taught myself how to do it, and loved riding a bicycle and going around.

The question asks about the past, so the past forms didn't have, knew, taught, and loved are needed instead of don't have, do know, thought, and love. Also, taught is the correct past form of teach; thought means believed or considered.

× I don't have my own bike when I was a child but I do know how to buy and I thought myself on how to and I love riding a bicycle and go around.

✓ I didn't have my own bike when I was a child, but I knew how to ride one, taught myself how to do it, and loved riding a bicycle and going around.

The verbs should be parallel after loved. Since riding is used with the -ing form, going should also be used in the -ing form: riding and going.

× I don't have my own bike when I was a child but I do know how to buy and I thought myself on how to and I love riding a bicycle and go around.

✓ I didn't have my own bike when I was a child, but I knew how to ride one and taught myself how to do it. I loved riding a bicycle and going around.

The original sentence contains incomplete and unclear structures, especially how to buy and thought myself on how to. The verb teach is followed by a reflexive pronoun and how to plus a verb: I taught myself how to ride.

× It is not that popular because here in the Philippines the umm mode of transport, transportation that is very popular is motorcycle and pedicab if you know that.

✓ They are not that popular because, here in the Philippines, the most popular modes of transportation are motorcycles and pedicabs.

The subject bikes is plural, so the pronoun and verb must also be plural: they are, not it is. The plural subject modes of transportation requires are, and the plural nouns motorcycles and pedicabs correctly refer to two types of transportation.

× It is not that popular because here in the Philippines the umm mode of transport, transportation that is very popular is motorcycle and pedicab if you know that.

✓ They are not that popular because, here in the Philippines, the most popular modes of transportation are motorcycles and pedicabs.

Because the answer refers to two types of transportation, the nouns should be plural: modes, motorcycles, and pedicabs. Using plural forms makes the meaning clear and agrees with the verb are.

× It is not that popular because here in the Philippines the umm mode of transport, transportation that is very popular is motorcycle and pedicab if you know that.

✓ They are not that popular because, here in the Philippines, the most popular modes of transportation are motorcycles and pedicabs.

The noun bikes is plural, so it should be replaced by the plural pronoun they. The sentence should begin They are not that popular, rather than It is not that popular.
