Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly in the past tense: say “No, I didn’t.” Avoid repeating words and correct the pronouns and verb forms: “I told my father,” “if he wanted,” and “he said.” Add one clear reason and, if possible, a brief personal detail. Keep the answer to two or three well-formed sentences.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I asked my father to buy me one, but he said that we didn’t have enough money at the time. As a result, I usually walked or played with my friends instead.

제안: Give a complete answer to the question and support your opinion with a specific reason. Use the present tense for general facts: “Bikes aren’t very popular” and “people prefer.” Avoid stopping mid-sentence, unnecessary repetition, and comments directed at the examiner. You could compare cycling with another common form of transport in your country.

예시: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Although some children ride them for fun, most people prefer to use cars or public transportation because the roads can be busy and unsafe for cyclists. However, cycling is becoming more popular in large parks and on dedicated bike paths.

× No, I don't have a bike because when I'm gonna tell to to my father...

✓ No, I didn't have a bike because when I was going to tell my father...

The question asks about the student's childhood, so the past tense is needed. Use didn't have instead of don't have and was going to tell instead of I'm gonna tell. Also, tell takes a direct object, so say tell my father, not tell to my father.

× I'm gonna tell to to my father

✓ I was going to tell my father

The verb tell is followed directly by the person receiving the information. Therefore, use tell my father, not tell to my father.

× if he want to buy me a bike

✓ if he wanted to buy me a bike

The subject he is third-person singular, so the verb must be wanted in the past-tense context. The past form wanted is the same for all subjects.

× then she, he said

✓ then he said

The pronoun must agree with the previously mentioned person, the student's father. Since father is male, use he, not she.

× then she, he said. We don't have enough money.

✓ Then he said, 'We don't have enough money.'

When introducing a person's exact words, use a comma before the quotation and place the spoken words inside quotation marks. The reporting phrase should be connected to the quotation as one sentence.

× I don't think so because when I was a kid I have a friend that she have a bike.

✓ I don't think so because when I was a kid, I had a friend who had a bike.

The phrase when I was a kid refers to the past, so use had instead of have. The friend's possession also happened in the past, so use had instead of have.

× she have a bike

✓ he had a bike

In the past tense, have changes to had. Also, the friend is referred to as he in the corrected sentence, so the pronoun and verb must match.

× a friend that she have a bike

✓ a friend who had a bike

The phrase that she is grammatically incorrect because it uses both a relative pronoun and an unnecessary subject pronoun. Use who to refer to a person, followed directly by the verb: a friend who had a bike.
