Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, give a direct topic sentence in past tense, add one or two specific supporting details and use a linking word. Keep answers natural and within 3–4 sentences. For example, say you didn’t have a bike and explain why or what you used instead.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or rode on the back of my older brother’s motorcycle, so I rarely needed my own bike. Because our family lived in a small town, owning a bike wasn’t common.

提案: Answer directly, use correct grammar and clearer reasoning, and provide a specific observation or comparison. Use linking words (however, because, although) to make the answer coherent and avoid vague phrases like “both of our people”.

例: I don’t think bicycles are very popular in my country because most people prefer motorcycles for daily travel. For example, motorcycles are cheaper and faster in traffic, so many commuters choose them over bikes.

× When I was a child, I don't have a bike.

✓ When I was a child, I didn't have a bike.

The sentence mixes a past time reference ('When I was a child') with a present-tense verb ('don't have'). Use past tense for actions or states in the past. Change 'don't have' to 'didn't have' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: use past simple for past facts ('I didn't have a bike').

× I am not sure if bikes are popular in our country because both of our people is using a motorcycle.

✓ I am not sure if bikes are popular in our country because most people use motorcycles.

There are several issues: 'both of our people' is incorrect and unclear; 'both' implies two items but 'our people' is uncountable here. Use 'most people' or 'many people'. Also 'is using' does not agree with plural subject and is inappropriate for a general habit—use simple present 'use'. Finally, 'a motorcycle' should be plural when referring to many people or use the uncountable form 'motorcycles'. Suggestion: rephrase to 'most people use motorcycles' to express a general habit and correct subject-verb agreement.
