Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail. Use correct tense and contractions are fine. For example, say you didn’t own a bike and briefly explain why, with a short consequence or feeling. Avoid wordy or ungrammatical phrases like “I was not having.”

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my family couldn’t afford one. As a result, I often walked to school or borrowed a neighbor’s bike when I needed to go farther.

제안: Improve grammar and coherence: begin with a clear topic sentence, then add a specific reason and an example. Use plural nouns and smoother linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example,” “therefore”). Keep it within 3–4 sentences and avoid repetition like “afford.”

예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are inexpensive and practical. For example, many people use bicycles to commute short distances in cities, and this also helps them save money and avoid traffic.

× No, I was not having a bike because my family were not able to afford it for me.

✓ No, I did not have a bike because my family could not afford one for me.

The verb 'have' should be used in the simple past (did not have) rather than past continuous ('was not having') when describing a past possession that was a state rather than an ongoing action. Also, 'were not able to afford' is awkward here; use the past ability 'could not afford'. Replace 'it' with 'one' to refer to 'a bike' naturally. Suggestion: use simple past for states and 'could/could not' for past ability.

× Yes, of course, because bicycle is cheap to afford, so most of the people can afford it.

✓ Yes, of course, because bicycles are inexpensive, so most people can afford them.

The noun 'bicycle' should be plural ('bicycles') because the sentence talks about bikes in general. The verb must agree with the plural subject: 'are' not 'is'. 'Cheap to afford' is wordy; use 'inexpensive' or 'cheap'. 'Most of the people' is awkward; use 'most people'. Pronoun 'it' should match plural 'bicycles' so use 'them'. Suggestion: make nouns and verbs agree in number and match pronouns to their antecedents.

× That is why it's more popular.

✓ That is why they are more popular.

The pronoun 'it' refers back to plural 'bicycles', so use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are' to maintain subject-verb agreement. Also 'more popular' is comparative but context implies general popularity, so 'more' can be omitted or kept if comparing with other modes; here 'they are popular' or 'they are more popular' is acceptable. Suggestion: ensure pronouns and verbs agree in number with their antecedents.
