Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 질문에 직접 답했고 개인적인 경험도 제시해 내용이 자연스럽습니다. 다만 과거의 습관을 말하고 있으므로 현재형인 “ride”는 과거형 “rode”로 바꿔야 합니다. 또한 두 문장을 “After that”이나 “I used to”와 같은 표현으로 연결하면 더 유창하게 들립니다. 자전거를 어디에서 탔는지 또는 그 경험이 어땠는지 구체적인 세부 사항을 하나 추가하면 답변이 더 풍부해집니다.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad bought it for me, and I used to ride it with my friends every evening. We usually cycled around our neighborhood, so it was a fun way to spend time together.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: 자전거가 인기 있는 이유와 개인적인 의견을 제시하려고 한 점은 좋습니다. 그러나 “when I go to Hangong”은 “when I go to the Han River”처럼 더 정확하게 표현하고, “ride a bike” 또는 “ride bikes”처럼 관사를 사용해야 합니다. 현재 문장은 너무 길게 연결되어 있으므로 “For example”과 “Also”를 사용해 문장을 나누는 것이 좋습니다. 사람들이 자전거를 이용하는 구체적인 이유로 교통 체증을 피하거나 운동을 할 수 있다는 점을 추가하면 내용과 어휘가 향상됩니다.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, when I visit the Han River, I see many people cycling, especially on weekends. Bikes are popular because they are a convenient way to exercise and avoid traffic. I also enjoy riding a bike there because the scenery is beautiful.
× My dad bought me a bike and I ride it with friends every evening.
✓ My dad bought me a bike, and I rode it with my friends every evening.
The sentence describes a past childhood habit, so the past-tense form rode is needed instead of the present-tense form ride. Adding my before friends makes the phrase sound more natural.
× I think bikes are popular in my country because when I go to Hangong I can see many people riding a bike and also I like to ride bike.
✓ I think bikes are popular in my country because when I go to Hangong, I can see many people riding bikes, and I also like to ride a bike.
A singular countable noun such as bike usually needs an article. Use a bike when referring to one nonspecific bicycle. Bikes is more natural when speaking about bicycles in general. Also, placing I before also improves the sentence structure.
