Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Correct the tense and make the reply more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence using past tense, then add one or two supporting details (briefly) with a linking word. Avoid redundancy and keep it under five sentences.

예시: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike with training wheels when I was about seven, and I used to ride it to a nearby park every weekend. Because it was lightweight, I learned to ride confidently within a few weeks.

제안: Use present tense for current popularity and give a specific reason or example. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two concrete supporting details using linking words like “because” or “for example.” Keep it natural and concise.

예시: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting in busy cities. For example, there are dedicated bike lanes and several bike-sharing schemes in major towns, which makes cycling convenient.

× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The student mixes present simple 'do have' with past time marker 'when I was a child'. The correct tense is past simple 'had' to match 'was'. Suggestion: use past tense consistently for past time frames (I had, I was).

× Yes, I do think bikes were popular in my country.

✓ Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country.

The student combined present reporting verb 'do think' with past predicate 'were popular', causing a tense mismatch. If answering current popularity, use present simple 'are popular'. If referring to past, use past reporting 'did think' or omit 'do'. Suggestion: match the main verb tense to the time frame being described (use 'are' for present situations).
