Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly in the past tense: say “Yes, I did.” Avoid repeating “I have” and use “had” for past possession. Use natural phrases such as “a pink bike” and “a purple one” instead of “a pink color” and “it’s a purple.” Add one specific detail about how you used the bikes, and connect the details with a linking word such as “also.”

예시: Yes, I did. I had my first bike when I was six years old. It was pink, and I also had a purple one later. I often rode them around my neighborhood after school.

제안: Begin with a clear topic sentence, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Replace the unnatural phrase “go out through with my car” with “drive around” or “travel by car.” Explain why bikes are popular or mention a specific group of people who use them. Use a linking word such as “especially” or “because” to make the answer more coherent.

예시: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. When I drive around my city, I often see many people riding them, especially students and office workers. They are popular because they are affordable and convenient for short journeys.

× Actually yes, I have when I was six years old, I have a one.

✓ Actually, yes, I did. I had one when I was six years old.

The question asks about a past situation, so use the past-tense form had instead of have. The natural short answer is I did, followed by the complete sentence I had one. When describing possession in the past, consistently use had.

× It was a pink color.

✓ It was pink.

Pink is an adjective that can directly describe the bike after the linking verb was. The phrase a pink color is grammatically possible but unnecessarily awkward here. Use It was pink for a more natural description.

× I have another one.

✓ I had another one.

The student is describing bikes owned during childhood, so the past-tense form had is required. Keep the verb tense consistent throughout the answer.

× It's a purple.

✓ It was purple.

Because the student is talking about a bike from childhood, use the past-tense form was instead of the present-tense form is. The adjective purple describes the bike directly, so do not use the article a before it.

× It's a purple.

✓ It was purple.

Purple is an adjective, not a singular countable noun, so it cannot be preceded by the article a in this sentence. Use the adjective directly after was: It was purple.

× When I go out through with my car I see many people riding bikes.

✓ When I go out in my car, I see many people riding bikes.

Use the preposition in to describe traveling in a car. The combination go out through with my car is incorrect. You can also say When I drive around in my car, I see many people riding bikes.

× It's very popular here.

✓ They are very popular here.

The pronoun it refers to one singular thing, but bikes is plural. Use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are: They are very popular here.

× It's very popular here.

✓ They are very popular here.

The subject bikes is plural, so it must agree with the plural verb are rather than the singular verb is. Use They are very popular here.
