Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Correct grammar and use past tense. Give a short direct answer then one supporting detail. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, start with: “No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.” Then add a brief reason or memory using a linking word (e.g., “because”, “so”, or “however”).

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. However, I often borrowed my friend’s bike to ride in the park on weekends.

제안: Improve sentence structure and clarity. Begin with a clear opinion sentence, then support it with a specific reason and a linking word. Avoid redundancy and correct word order (e.g., “there are” not “here are”).

예시: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because many people prefer cars. For example, with rising incomes, owning a car is seen as more convenient and status-oriented, so fewer people choose bicycles for daily travel.

× No, I don't have a bike when I were a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Don't have' is present tense and 'were' is past; the sentence must be consistent in past tense: 'didn't have' (past negative) and 'was' (past of 'be'). Use 'did not' + base verb for past negatives and 'was' for first/third singular past of 'be'.

× I don't think that bikes are popular in my country because here are some expensive cars are more popular.

✓ I don't think that bikes are popular in my country because expensive cars are more popular here.

The main clause 'I don't think' is present; that is acceptable. The reason clause has redundant and incorrect word order: 'here are some expensive cars are more popular' contains two verbs and incorrect placement of 'here'. Correct structure places the subject before the verb: 'expensive cars are more popular here.' Remove the extra 'are' and move 'here' to the end for natural word order.
