Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: You answer the question directly and give a useful detail about your age. However, “I had a bike” and “I first got my bike” repeat the same idea. Add one specific detail about how you used the bike or how you felt about it, using a linking word such as “and” or “because.”

예시: Yes, I got my first bike when I was 11. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school, and it gave me a lot of independence.

제안: You give a clear opinion, but the second sentence is unnatural. Say “go cycling” or “go for a bike ride” instead of “go ride the bike,” and use “long distances” or “places farther away” rather than “far places.” Add a specific reason or example to make your answer more informative.
