Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer in the past tense: say “Yes, I did” rather than “Yes, I have.” Avoid repeating your answer, and use “pink” and “bike.” Explain briefly that you could not ride it well, using a natural phrase such as “I wasn’t very good at riding.”

예시: Yes, I did. I had a pink bike when I was a child, but I didn’t ride it very often because I wasn’t very good at riding.

제안: Give a clear, complete response and avoid repeating that traffic is bad. Use more natural phrasing, such as “the traffic is very heavy” and “bumper-to-bumper traffic.” Correct “in every day” to “every day,” and finish your final idea by explaining why cycling is unpopular or difficult.

예시: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in Turkey. Many cities are large and have heavy, often bumper-to-bumper traffic, so cycling can feel unsafe and inconvenient.

× Yes I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about the past with 'Did you have...?' The short answer should use the past auxiliary 'did', not the present perfect auxiliary 'have'.

× Yes I have one.

✓ Yes, I did have one.

The question refers to the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use 'did have' rather than 'have'.

× When I was a child it was pinky and unfortunately I couldn't use my bug as I want because I was not a good rider.

✓ When I was a child, it was pinky, and unfortunately I couldn't use my bug as I wanted because I was not a good rider.

The sentence describes a past situation, so the verb after 'as' should also be in the past tense: 'wanted', not 'want'.

× You can witness bumper to bumper traffic in every day.

✓ You can witness bumper-to-bumper traffic every day.

Use 'every day' without the preposition 'in' when referring to how often something happens.

× and using bikes is not very.

✓ and cycling is not very popular.

The phrase 'not very' needs an adjective or adverb to complete the thought. In this context, 'popular' provides a suitable complement and makes the sentence complete.
