Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: You answered the question directly and included a relevant detail, but the answer has repeated words and several tense errors. Use the past simple consistently ("had," "used," and "went"), and avoid restarting the sentence. Add a clear linking phrase such as "I often used it to..."

예시: Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, and I often rode it to my friends’ houses after school.

제안: Your answer is unfinished, so the main idea and supporting reason are unclear. Start with a complete answer, then explain why bikes are popular. Use correct phrasing such as "bicycles are popular in Japan" and "Japan is a relatively small country." Avoid using both "so" and "because" for the same connection, and finish your supporting detail.
