Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly, then give one clear reason. Use the past tense consistently and say “ride a bike.” The phrase “at a walking distance” is redundant here; you can simply say the school was close enough to walk to.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my school was only a short walk from home. I usually walked there, so I didn’t really need one.

제안: Address the popularity of bikes in your country directly before mentioning your classmates. Use “motorcycles” for the general category, avoid repeating “tool,” and replace “travel longer length” with “cover longer distances.” Add a specific detail or comparison to support your opinion.

예시: Bicycles are quite popular among college students, especially for short trips around campus. However, across the country, I think motorcycles are more common because they’re faster and can cover longer distances.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I live so I didn't have to ride bike to my school at a walking distance.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I lived, so I didn't have to ride a bike to school; it was within walking distance.

The sentence describes the student's childhood, so the past-tense verb lived is needed instead of the present-tense live.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I live so I didn't have to ride bike to my school at a walking distance.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I lived, so I didn't have to ride a bike to school; it was within walking distance.

Using because and so together to connect the same cause-and-effect clauses is generally considered redundant in standard written English. Keep because or so, but not both; this correction keeps because in the first clause and uses so to introduce the result.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I live so I didn't have to ride bike to my school at a walking distance.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I lived, so I didn't have to ride a bike to school; it was within walking distance.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a bike when referring to one bike in general.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I live so I didn't have to ride bike to my school at a walking distance.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my school was really near to where I lived, so I didn't have to ride a bike to school; it was within walking distance.

The standard expression is within walking distance, not at a walking distance. Use within to describe something close enough to reach by walking.

× But looking overall this country, I think motorcycle will be a more popular transportation tool tool to use because it's more convenient and it can travel longer length.

✓ But looking at the country overall, I think motorcycles are a more popular means of transportation because they are more convenient and can travel longer distances.

The phrase look at requires the preposition at before its object. The natural word order here is looking at the country overall.

× But looking overall this country, I think motorcycle will be a more popular transportation tool tool to use because it's more convenient and it can travel longer length.

✓ But looking at the country overall, I think motorcycles are a more popular means of transportation because they are more convenient and can travel longer distances.

When referring to motorcycles as a general category, use the plural form motorcycles. Likewise, longer distances is the appropriate plural form when making a general statement about how far they can travel.

× But looking overall this country, I think motorcycle will be a more popular transportation tool tool to use because it's more convenient and it can travel longer length.

✓ But looking at the country overall, I think motorcycles are a more popular means of transportation because they are more convenient and can travel longer distances.

The question asks about what is popular in the country, so the present tense are is more suitable than will be. Use the present tense to describe a current general situation.
