Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly, then explain your parents’ concern. Improve grammar by saying “a bike” or “a bicycle,” keeping the past tense consistent (“wanted,” “were worried,” and “played”), and use the natural phrase “played with other toys.”

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents were worried I might get hurt, so they preferred to keep me close to home. Instead, I stayed indoors and played with other toys.

제안: Give a clear answer and explain how people use bikes. Remove the contradictory, repeated phrase “We don't usually most of the time,” and clarify whether people use bicycles, tricycles, or both. Use a linking phrase such as “For example” to introduce a specific detail.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in my hometown, where there are many narrow alleys. People often use bicycles or tricycles to get to nearby places because they’re convenient and easy to park.

× I didn't have any bike when I was a kid.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a kid.

Use the article a before the singular countable noun bike. In this context, a bike is the natural way to say that you did not own one.

× I think my parents didn't get a bike for me because they want me to be supervised and they are worried that I might get injured.

✓ I think my parents didn't get a bike for me because they wanted me to be supervised and were worried that I might get injured.

The sentence describes your parents' thoughts and feelings at a time in the past, so use the past forms wanted and were worried. Keep might get injured because might already expresses possibility.

× So I just stayed at home and play other toys.

✓ So I just stayed at home and played with other toys.

The sentence describes what you did as a child, so the coordinated verb should also be in the past tense: played.

× So I just stayed at home and play other toys.

✓ So I just stayed at home and played with other toys.

In English, the usual expression is play with toys. Use with after played when referring to the toys used during play.

× We don't usually most of the time we use tricycles in order to get to nearby places and bikes as well.

✓ Most of the time, we use tricycles to get to nearby places, and we use bikes as well.

The original combines two clauses without a suitable grammatical connection: We don't usually and we use. It also repeats the same frequency idea with don't usually and most of the time. Use one clear clause structure and avoid repeating the frequency expression.
