Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly, then add a specific detail about how you felt or what happened. “Pick it up” usually means understand or learn something generally; “learn to ride it” is clearer here. You could also connect the ideas more smoothly and avoid repeating “when I was a child.”

예시: Yes, I had a small pink bike that my dad bought for me. He tried to teach me how to ride it, but I never quite got the hang of it, so I didn’t use it very often.

제안: State clearly whether bikes are popular, and explain where or why people use them. Use “cycling” or “bikes” consistently rather than the unclear “it,” and say “in the neighbourhood” instead of “within the neighborhood.” The comparison with London or Paris would be stronger if you explained what is different.

예시: Yes, cycling is fairly popular in my country, although you don’t see bikes everywhere as you might in cities like London or Paris. People often ride them around their neighbourhoods, where the streets are quieter and feel safer.

× It is quite popular, but not to the extent where I would see it everywhere that I go, compared to places like London or Paris.

✓ Bikes are quite popular, but not to the extent that I would see them everywhere I go, compared with places like London or Paris.

The answer refers to bikes, which is plural, so use the plural pronoun them rather than it. Using that instead of where also makes the clause more natural when describing the extent of their popularity.

✓ Bikes are quite popular, but not to the extent that I would see them everywhere I go, compared with places like London or Paris.

The plural subject bikes requires the plural verb are. The original it is uses a singular pronoun and verb for a plural subject. Match plural subjects with plural verbs, such as bikes are.
