Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly, then add one relevant detail about your bike or how you used it. “Some meaningful bike” is unnatural; say “a bike that meant a lot to me” or simply “a bike.” Use plural forms for general statements, such as “bikes” and “buses and the subway.” Avoid making a broad claim about all Korean children unless you can support it with a specific detail.
