Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly, then give one clear reason and a brief detail. Use the past tense for childhood experiences ("didn't have"), and say "a useful means of transport" rather than "a useful transportation." Avoid repeating that you could not ride, and finish with a complete sentence.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I never learned how to ride one. My dad usually drove me to and from school, so I didn’t really need a bike. I’m learning to ride now because it would be a convenient way to get around.

제안: Give a direct answer and explain the practical reasons, but avoid repeating that Taiwan is a small island and that bikes are convenient. Clarify whether you mean bicycles or motorcycles, and use a linking phrase such as "For example" to add one specific supporting detail.

예시: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Taiwan, especially in crowded cities where parking can be difficult. Scooters are particularly common because they’re easier to park and get through traffic than cars. Bicycles are popular too, especially for short trips and recreational rides.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child because I don't really know how to ride a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I didn't really know how to ride a bike.

The sentence refers to the past with 'when I was a child', so the verbs describing that time should also be in the past tense: 'didn't have' and 'didn't know'. Use the present tense only when describing a current situation.

× I'm now learning it because it's a really useful transportation.

✓ I'm now learning to ride because it's a really useful means of transportation.

'Transportation' is generally an uncountable noun, so it does not take 'a' directly. Use 'a means of transportation' or simply say 'transportation is useful'. Also, 'learning to ride' makes clear what you are learning.

× So I don't really know how to ride a bike in.

✓ So I don't really know how to ride a bike.

The final 'in' has no grammatical role here and leaves the sentence incomplete. Remove it, or include the intended destination or location after it, such as 'ride a bike in my neighborhood'.

× A car isn't really convenient because it's too big and bikes are more convenient than cars, so it's more popular in our country, especially we are a small island.

✓ A car isn't really convenient because it's too big, and bikes are more convenient than cars, so bikes are more popular in our country, especially since we are a small island.

'Especially' cannot directly connect the two clauses in 'especially we are a small island'. Use 'especially since' to give a reason. Also, 'bikes' is plural, so repeat 'bikes' rather than using the unclear singular pronoun 'it'.
