Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly, then add one relevant detail. Avoid the unfinished phrase “when I was a child around”; say “when I was about five.” Use “bought me a bike” or “bought a bike for me,” rather than “bought this to me.” Reduce fillers such as “uh” to make your answer smoother.

예시: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about five, and my parents bought it for me. I used to ride it around our neighborhood.

제안: Give a clear opinion and support it with a more specific explanation. Use “bikes,” not “spikes,” and say “get to places” or “travel” rather than “get to right places.” Correct “a a” and “taxi, buses” to “taxis and buses.” Explain how the country's size affects bike use, or mention differences between cities and rural areas.

예시: I don’t think bikes are very popular for long-distance travel in my country because it’s so large. Most people use taxis, buses, or trains to get around. However, bikes are still common for short trips in some cities.

× I, uh, used to have a bike when I was a child around.

✓ I used to have a bike when I was around five years old.

Around is an adverb meaning approximately and should appear before the age or time it modifies. Place it before five years old, rather than at the end of the clause.

× At five years old my parents bought this to me.

✓ When I was five years old, my parents bought it for me.

Use for, not to, when describing something bought on someone’s behalf or as a gift. When I was five years old also clearly indicates that the student, rather than the parents, was five.

× Well, I don't really think that spikes are popular in my country because I have a a really large country and uh, people usually get to right places by taxi, buses and other local transportation.

✓ Well, I don't really think that bikes are popular in my country because I have a really large country and, uh, people usually get to the right places by taxi, bus, and other local transportation.

The article a is repeated before really large country; use it only once. The phrase right places needs the before the specific plural noun phrase. Bikes replaces spikes because the question is about bikes; this appears to be a word-choice or transcription issue, not a grammar error.
