Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly, but avoid unnecessary emphasis with “did have.” Add one specific supporting detail, such as when you received the bike, how often you used it, or where you rode it. This would make the answer more developed while remaining natural and within five sentences.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

제안: Give a clear comparison between the past and the present, and use accurate grammar and natural collocations. Say “in previous years” rather than “previous years,” and use plural nouns in “cars and scooters.” Explain why bikes are less popular, for example because cars and scooters are more convenient for commuting. Use linking words such as “although,” “whereas,” or “because” to connect your ideas.

예시: Not particularly. Although bikes were more popular in previous years, cars and scooters are more common nowadays because they are faster and more convenient for commuting, especially in large cities.

× I think bikes were popular previous years but now the most popular is car or cars and scooters.

✓ I think bikes were popular in previous years, but now cars and scooters are the most popular.

The preposition in is needed before the time expression previous years. Use in previous years to describe a period when something was popular.

× I think bikes were popular previous years but now the most popular is car or cars and scooters.

✓ I think bikes were popular in previous years, but now cars and scooters are the most popular.

The sentence refers to two categories, cars and scooters, so the plural form cars should be used. Avoid car or cars because the meaning is not uncertain here.

× I think bikes were popular previous years but now the most popular is car or cars and scooters.

✓ I think bikes were popular in previous years, but now cars and scooters are the most popular.

The compound subject cars and scooters is plural, so it requires the plural verb are, not the singular verb is. When two nouns are joined by and, use a plural verb.
