Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 36.0Gợi ý: 문장 구조와 시제 사용에 주의하세요. 현재완료와 과거 시제를 혼용하지 말고, 질문에 직접적으로 '어렸을 때 자전거가 있었나요?'에 대해 명확한 주제 문장(예: ‘No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.’)으로 시작하세요. 그 다음 신체적 제약으로 인해 자전거를 타지 못했다는 이유를 간결하고 구체적으로 설명하세요. 불필요한 말더듬(umm)이나 중복 표현을 줄이고, 문장은 최대 3~4문장으로 유지하세요.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Because I use a wheelchair, I couldn’t ride a regular bicycle. Instead, I spent my free time doing activities I could access easily, like reading and playing adapted games.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: 의견을 먼저 밝힌 뒤 구체적인 이유와 예를 연결어로 자연스럽게 덧붙이세요(linking words 사용). 모호한 표현(‘one of the most favorite hobbies in people's life’) 대신 구체적인 표현을 사용하고, 문장을 깔끔하게 2~3문장으로 구성하세요. 또한 ‘facing a breeze’ 같은 어색한 표현은 ‘feeling the breeze’로 교정하세요.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country. Many people cycle for leisure and exercise, and some commute to work because it is cheap and environmentally friendly. For example, on weekends you can see families and friends riding along riversides to enjoy the fresh air.
× No I haven't a bike when I was a child because umm this is my personal story.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because, um, this is my personal story.
The student used the present perfect 'haven't' with a past time expression 'when I was a child'. In English, actions tied to a specific past time should use the simple past. Replace 'haven't' with 'didn't have'. Also add commas for clarity and natural pauses. Suggestion: Use simple past for completed past events: 'I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'
× I live in with my wheelchair so I can ride a bike so I don't have it.
✓ I use a wheelchair, so I can't ride a bike and I don't have one.
The original sentence has incorrect verb choice 'live in' and awkward structure 'so I can ride a bike so I don't have it.' The meaning is likely that the student uses a wheelchair and therefore cannot ride a bike and does not own one. Use 'use a wheelchair' and 'can't ride a bike' and 'I don't have one' for clarity and correct grammar. Suggestion: Keep cause and effect clear: 'I use a wheelchair, so I can't ride a bike and I don't have one.'
× Yes, of course many people use bikes for their hobbies or just want to ride a bike with facing a breeze and in our country, the riding bicycle is one of the most favorite hobbies in people's life.
✓ Yes, of course. Many people use bikes for hobbies or just want to ride and feel the breeze. In our country, cycling is one of the most popular pastimes.
Several issues: punctuation and sentence boundaries are needed. 'Use bikes for their hobbies' is redundant; 'for hobbies' is sufficient. 'Want to ride a bike with facing a breeze' is ungrammatical—use 'ride and feel the breeze.' 'The riding bicycle' is awkward; use the uncountable noun 'cycling' or 'riding bicycles' and 'most favorite' is incorrect — use 'most popular' or 'a favorite.' Also 'in people's life' should be 'as a pastime' or 'in people's lives.' Suggestion: Break into two sentences, use concise nouns: 'Many people use bikes for hobbies or to enjoy the breeze. Cycling is one of the most popular pastimes in our country.'
