Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 「Yes, I did.」と最初に直接答えられており、具体的な使用目的も述べています。ただし、「ride on a bike」は通常「ride a bike」、「clam school」はおそらく「cram school」です。また、「when」を繰り返すとやや不自然なので、「to visit my friends and go to cram school」のようにまとめるとよいでしょう。最後の「or something」は不要で、Part 1では2〜3文で簡潔に答えると、より自然で効果的です。

Example: Yes, I did. I used to ride my bike every day to visit my friends and go to cram school. It was convenient because I could get around by myself.

Suggestion: 「I think so」と意見を述べ、その理由として自転車の多さと日本の道路の狭さを挙げている点はよいです。ただし、「bicycles are easier to commute to companies」は不自然で、「bikes are a convenient way to commute to work」のように表現します。また、「go to going to school」や「you know」「or something」は不要です。「First of all」「Also」などの linking words を使って理由を整理し、通勤・通学という具体的な例を明確に述べると、より流暢で効果的になります。

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in Japan. Japanese roads can be narrow, so cycling is a convenient way to commute to work or school. In addition, bikes are cheaper and easier to park than cars.

× I used to ride on a bike every day when I went to see my friends and when I went to the, uh, clam school by myself or something.

✓ I used to ride a bike every day when I went to see my friends and when I went to the, uh, cram school by myself or something.

The verb ride is normally used directly with bike without the preposition on. Say ride a bike, not ride on a bike. Also, cram school is the standard English term; clam school appears to be a pronunciation or word-choice error rather than a grammar error.

× I think so because there are loads of bikes on the streets and especially because Japanese roads are narrow, bicycles are easier to commute to companies or you know, go to going to school or something.

✓ I think so because there are loads of bikes on the streets. Especially because Japanese roads are narrow, it is easier to commute to work by bicycle or, you know, go to school or something.

Bicycles cannot be the subject of the verb commute in this structure. Use the impersonal structure it is easier to commute, and then add by bicycle to show the means of transportation. This makes the sentence structure clear and grammatical.

× go to going to school

✓ go to school

The phrase go to going to school incorrectly repeats the verb go. After go to, use the destination directly: go to school. The -ing form going is not needed here.
