Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Replace “at my 6th grade” with “in sixth grade,” and say “I found it really difficult” rather than “I felt really hard.” Add a clear detail about what happened, using a linking word if needed.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I first learned to ride one in sixth grade, and I found it quite difficult at first. I fell a few times and scraped my knees, but I eventually learned to ride.

제안: Give a direct answer, then explain whether bikes are popular now or were more common in the past. Avoid fillers such as “like,” keep the verb tense consistent, and use “bicycles” or “bikes” for the plural. Make the reason more precise, such as affordability or convenience.

예시: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller towns. In the past, many people chose them because they were cheaper than motorbikes. They’re also convenient for short trips.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks whether you had a bike during your childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use had rather than do have to keep the tense consistent with the question.

× When I was a child exactly at my 6th grade, it was my first time trying on a bike and I felt really hard, got my knees injured.

✓ When I was a child, in sixth grade, it was my first time riding a bike, and I found it really difficult and injured my knees.

Use in, not at, with a school grade: in sixth grade. Also, try on is used for putting on or testing clothing, not for using a bicycle; say ride a bike instead.

Hard describes the difficulty of an activity, but felt really hard incorrectly suggests that the speaker felt physically hard. Say I found it really difficult or it was really difficult for me.

× Yes, I do think that bikes are really popular in my country because back in the day like people don't really have much money to buy motorbikes so they tend to use bike.

✓ Yes, I do think that bikes are really popular in my country because, back in the day, people did not have much money to buy motorbikes, so they tended to use bikes.

Back in the day refers to a past period, so use the past forms did not have and tended rather than don't have and tend. Keep the present tense in the opening clause because it describes current popularity.

× Yes, I do think that bikes are really popular in my country because back in the day like people don't really have much money to buy motorbikes so they tend to use bike.

✓ Yes, I do think that bikes are really popular in my country because, back in the day, people did not have much money to buy motorbikes, so they tended to use bikes.

Bike is a singular countable noun and needs an article when used in the singular. Here, the statement refers to bicycles in general, so use the plural bikes.
