Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Use “I had a bike” instead of “I have a bike,” and “rode it” instead of “rolled it.” Improve the natural phrasing by saying “a medium-sized, silver-colored bicycle” and use “near my home” only if you mean the specific area around your house. Your answer includes useful details, but connect them more naturally and avoid awkward word order.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a medium-sized, silver-colored bicycle, and I rode it with my friends near my home almost every Saturday. We usually spent a few hours cycling around the neighborhood.

제안: Begin with a complete topic sentence, such as “No, bikes aren’t particularly popular in my country.” Avoid the filler “uh” and correct the grammar: say “the most popular means of transport is the car” and “almost everyone has their own car.” Use linking words such as “because” and “as a result” to make your explanation clearer. Add a specific reason, such as convenience, long distances, or hot weather, instead of repeating the idea that people use cars.

예시: No, bikes aren’t particularly popular in my country because the car is the most common means of transport. Almost everyone has a car, so they prefer driving because it is more convenient for long journeys and bad weather. As a result, people mainly use bikes for exercise rather than commuting.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about a past situation: when you were a child. Therefore, use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have.

× When I was a child it was a medium sized silver colour bicycle and I rolled it with my friends near my home almost every Saturday.

✓ When I was a child, it was a medium-sized silver bicycle, and I rolled it with my friends near my home almost every Saturday.

A singular countable noun such as bicycle needs an article. Use a before bicycle. Also, use hyphens in the compound adjective medium-sized.

× Not really popular because uh, in my country the most popular transport is car and almost everyone in my country have their own car.

✓ Bikes are not really popular because, in my country, the most popular means of transport is a car, and almost everyone in my country has their own car.

The original answer begins with a fragment because Not really popular does not contain a subject and a verb. Use Bikes are not really popular to make a complete sentence.

× Not really popular because uh, in my country the most popular transport is car and almost everyone in my country have their own car.

✓ Bikes are not really popular because, in my country, the most popular means of transport is a car, and almost everyone in my country has their own car.

Car is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a car in this sentence.

× Not really popular because uh, in my country the most popular transport is car and almost everyone in my country have their own car.

✓ Bikes are not really popular because, in my country, the most popular means of transport is a car, and almost everyone in my country has their own car.

The subject everyone is grammatically singular, so the verb must be has, not have. Remember that indefinite pronouns such as everyone, someone, and nobody take singular verbs.
