Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Correct the grammar and answer directly. Start with a topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (ages, how often you used it, or a memorable experience). Use past tense and linking words like 'yes,' 'when,' or 'but'. Keep it within 3–4 short sentences.

예시: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was eight and rode it to school most days. However, I only rode it in the neighborhood because our streets were busy.

제안: Give a direct opinion then support it with specific reasons and a brief comparison or example. Use linking words such as 'because,' 'for example,' or 'however.' Aim for 2–3 sentences and avoid vague phrasing like 'I really don't think so' without explanation.

예시: No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because public transport and cars are more common. For example, most people commute by bus or car rather than cycling, and there are few safe bike lanes in cities.

× Did you have a bike when you are a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The student used 'are' (present tense) in a clause referring to the past. The question begins with 'Did', so the time frame is past and the correct past-tense form of 'to be' is 'were'. Use 'were' to match the past reference: 'when you were a child.' Maintain consistent past tense throughout the clause.

× I really don't think so.

✓ I really didn't think so. OR I don't think so.

This sentence may have a tense mismatch depending on the intended meaning. If the student is answering a present-tense question ('Do you think bikes are popular...?') the correct reply is 'I really don't think so.' If they were responding about a past belief, use past tense 'I really didn't think so.' Ensure the tense matches the question: for the given present question, keep present tense: 'I really don't think so.'
