Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 文法と時制の使い方を直してください。過去の経験について話すときは過去形を使い、簡潔に答えてから補足説明を加えると自然です。また語順や不自然な表現（I haven't had → I didn't have / I never had）を修正しましょう。具体的には「短い主文（Yes/Noや短い説明）」→「理由や詳細」を5文以内でまとめてください。

例: I never had a bike when I was a child. My family lived in a small apartment and there wasn't much space to store one. Also, my parents preferred that I walk or take public transport for safety reasons.

提案: 論理のつながりと語彙選択を改善してください。まず短く直接的に意見を述べ（I think... / I don't think...）、次に理由を2つまで明確に述べます。『there in Japan』や『umm Dr. and buy』のような不要な語や曖昧な発音は避け、具体例（交通状況、インフラ、安全性）を使って説明しましょう。文は5文以内に収め、接続語（because, however, for example）を適切に使ってください。

例: I don't think bicycles are very popular in my city in Japan. Many people prefer trains and buses because the public transport system is convenient and reliable. In addition, traffic and narrow streets make cycling feel less safe, so fewer people choose bikes for daily travel.

× I haven't had a bike when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The sentence uses the present perfect 'haven't had' with a finished time reference 'when I was a child'. In English, finished past situations require the simple past. Use 'didn't have' to indicate that during your childhood you did not possess a bike. Suggestion: Use simple past for actions or states tied to a specific past time (e.g., 'when I was a child').

× I don't think our bikes are popular there in Japan and because it's dangerous for us to umm Dr. and buy these bikes.

✓ I don't think bikes are popular in Japan because they are dangerous for us to ride and buy.

This sentence has multiple structure problems: unnecessary pronoun 'our' (unless the student means bikes owned by a group), awkward word order 'there in Japan', an incorrect and unclear phrase 'to umm Dr. and buy', and a conjunction misuse combining independent clauses. Corrections: remove 'our' if generalizing about bikes, place 'in Japan' after 'popular' for clarity, replace the unclear phrase with 'to ride and buy', and use a single reason clause introduced by 'because'. Suggestion: Keep one clear subject and verb per clause and avoid filler words; reorganize the sentence as 'I don't think bikes are popular in Japan because they are dangerous for us to ride and buy.'
