考官
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
考生
I had a bike when I was a pupil. Unfortunately, I rarely rode it, since my prowess was significantly poor. Though my father taught me how to ride a bike, I couldn't keep my balance. As a consequence, I gave a bike to my friend.
考官
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
From my perspective, the popularity of bikes is fractional. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of students are under high academic pressure, therefore they don't have moderate time to ride them. What's more, the expenditure of bikes is keep mounting. As a consequence, some parents couldn't afford to buy them.

分數: 72.0建議: 구체성 부족과 부자연스러운 표현을 개선하세요. 예를 들어 'pupil', 'proeess' 같은 단어 선택은 어색하고 일부 문장은 반복적입니다. 답변은 최대 5문장 이내로 간결한 주제문+세부사항 구조로 구성하세요. 또한 'consequence' 같은 연결어 대신 더 자연스러운 연결구(so, therefore, because)를 사용하고, 경험에 대한 구체적 세부사항(몇 살 때, 어디서, 얼마나 자주)을 추가하면 점수가 오릅니다.
範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about eight years old. However, I rarely rode it because I found it hard to keep my balance. My father tried to teach me several times, but I was still unsteady and often fell. So, after a few months, I decided to lend the bike to a friend who used it more often.

分數: 68.0建議: 표현의 자연스러움과 문법을 다듬고 더 구체적인 근거와 예시를 제시하세요. 'fractional'이나 'expenditure is keep mounting' 같은 표현은 부자연스럽고 문법적으로 틀립니다. 연결어는 적절히 사용하되 문장 흐름을 단순화하고, 통계나 개인 경험(예: 자전거를 실제로 보는 빈도, 도심/농촌 차이)을 넣어 구체성을 높이세요.
範例: I don't think bicycles are very popular overall. Many students are under heavy study pressure, so they have little free time to ride. In addition, bike prices have risen in recent years, which makes them less affordable for some families. As a result, you see more bikes in parks on weekends than on city streets during weekdays.
× I had a bike when I was a pupil.
✓ I had a bike when I was a pupil.
문장은 과거 시점을 적절히 사용하고 있어 문법적으로 옳습니다. 개선 제안: 문맥에 따라 'pupil' 대신 'child'나 'school student'를 쓸 수 있습니다.
× Unfortunately, I rarely rode it, since my prowess was significantly poor.
✓ Unfortunately, I rarely rode it because my skill was very poor.
원문은 'since' 사용은 가능하지만 의미상 이유를 명확히 하기 위해 'because'가 더 자연스럽습니다. 'prowess'는 주로 뛰어난 능력을 의미하므로 부정적 맥락에는 부적절합니다. 'skill' 또는 'ability'를 사용하고 'significantly poor'는 어색하므로 'very poor'로 수정하세요.
× Though my father taught me how to ride a bike, I couldn't keep my balance.
✓ Though my father taught me how to ride a bike, I couldn't keep my balance.
문장은 과거 시제와 대조 구조(though ... taught)가 올바르게 사용되었습니다. 개선 제안: 말하기에서 더 자연스럽게 하려면 'Even though' 또는 'Although'도 사용할 수 있습니다.
× As a consequence, I gave a bike to my friend.
✓ As a consequence, I gave the bike to my friend.
관사 오류(정관사 필요)로 'the bike'가 맞습니다. 문맥상 앞에서 언급한 특정 자전거이므로 'the'를 사용해야 합니다.
× From my perspective, the popularity of bikes is fractional.
✓ From my perspective, the popularity of bikes is limited.
'Fractional'은 이 맥락에서 어색하게 들립니다. 'limited' 또는 'relatively low'가 의도를 더 정확히 전달합니다. 시제는 현재 일반적 사실을 말하므로 현재 시제 사용은 적절합니다.
× As a matter of fact, the vast majority of students are under high academic pressure, therefore they don't have moderate time to ride them.
✓ As a matter of fact, the vast majority of students are under heavy academic pressure, so they don't have enough time to ride bikes.
'under high academic pressure'는 'heavy academic pressure'가 자연스럽습니다. 'therefore' 대신 구어체에선 'so'가 더 간결합니다. 'don't have moderate time'은 의미상 부정확하고 어색하므로 'don't have enough time'으로 고치고, 목적어 'them'은 'bikes'로 명확히 바꿔야 합니다.
× What's more, the expenditure of bikes is keep mounting.
✓ What's more, the cost of bikes keeps mounting.
'the expenditure of bikes'는 어색하므로 'the cost of bikes'가 자연스럽습니다. 현재진행을 나타내려면 'is keep mounting'는 문법에 맞지 않으므로 동사 형태를 'keeps mounting' 또는 'is mounting'으로 고쳐야 합니다. 지속적 변화임을 말하므로 'keeps mounting' 권장.
× As a consequence, some parents couldn't afford to buy them.
✓ As a consequence, some parents couldn't afford to buy bikes.
대명사 'them'은 모호하므로 'bikes'로 명확히 하는 것이 좋습니다. 과거의 결과를 말하므로 'couldn't afford'의 과거 시제 사용은 적절합니다. 필요하면 현재 상황을 말할 때는 'can't afford'로 바꿀 수 있습니다.
