Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
수험생
I think bicycles are becoming very popular in my country because many people have started taking up cycling as a form of exercise. Cycling is an excellent cardio workout and there are no group rides and events that encourage more people to join.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 55.0제안: Answer the question directly and organize the information chronologically. Avoid repetition, such as “tricycle tricycle,” and correct inaccurate expressions such as “from about five to six years old,” “once about brought,” and “then were played.” Use linking words like “because,” “when,” and “while” to connect your childhood experience clearly. Add one specific detail about where or with whom you learned to ride.
예시: Yes, I had a tricycle when I was about five or six because I couldn’t ride a two-wheeled bike yet. I learned to ride a proper bicycle when I was ten. My friend brought his bike to the park, and I practiced with him there until I felt more confident.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 72.0제안: Your answer has a clear opinion and a relevant reason, but the phrase “there are no group rides and events” is probably incorrect; use “there are now group rides and events.” Improve naturalness by saying “a good form of cardiovascular exercise” instead of “an excellent cardio workout,” and add a specific example, such as cycling clubs, bike lanes, or weekend rides. This will make your supporting details more convincing and precise.
예시: Yes, I think bikes are becoming increasingly popular in my country. Many people are taking up cycling because it is a convenient form of cardiovascular exercise. In addition, there are now more cycling clubs, group rides, and weekend events, which encourage people to take part.
× I had a bike from about five to six years old but it was a tricycle tricycle because I couldn't ride a two wheeler until I was ten.
✓ I had a bike when I was about five or six years old, but it was a tricycle because I couldn't ride a two-wheeler until I was ten.
When referring to a person's age, use when I was about five or six years old rather than from five to six years old. The preposition when correctly introduces the time period. The repeated word tricycle was also removed, and two-wheeler is normally hyphenated.
× My friend once about brought their bike and then were played and I was practicing there.
✓ My friend once brought their bike, and then we played while I practiced riding there.
The original sentence has an incorrect word order and an incomplete, unclear structure. Once should be placed before the main verb brought. The phrase were played is incorrectly formed because the subject we is needed for the intended meaning. The revised sentence uses a clear subject and connects the two activities with while.
× My friend once about brought their bike and then were played and I was practicing there.
✓ My friend once brought their bike, and then we played while I practiced riding there.
The question asks about a past childhood experience, so the verbs should consistently use the simple past tense. Brought, played, and practiced are appropriate past-tense forms. Were played is incorrect here because it is a passive construction and does not express the intended meaning.
