Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: 質問には「No, I didn’t.」のように直接答えましょう。「flight」「chauffeur」「find」は文脈に合っていないため、伝えたい内容に応じて「bike」「neighborhood」「need」などを使います。また、「near to the station」は「near the station」、「I didn’t have any sense to find that」は「I didn’t feel the need to get one」のようにすると自然です。自転車を持たなかった理由を、短く具体的に説明しましょう。

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I lived near the station, so it was easy to get around without one. I usually walked or took the train with my family.

Sugerencia: 最初に「Bikes used to be popular, but they are less popular now.」のように、質問への答えを明確に述べましょう。「if asked ten years ago」は不自然なので、「Ten years ago」または「I think they used to be popular」とします。また、「bite accidents」ではなく「bike accidents」、「getting unpopular」ではなく「becoming less popular」が自然です。事故が人気低下の理由だと説明し、必要に応じて「although they are still common in some areas」のような対比を加えましょう。

Ejemplo: Bikes used to be quite popular in my country, but I think they are becoming less popular now. One reason is that people are concerned about bike accidents, especially on busy roads. However, many people still ride them in quieter neighborhoods.

× Yes, uh, if asked ten years ago, I think it was quite popular, but nowadays I think it is getting unpopular compared to the past because there are some like bite accidents and it's quite dangerous.

✓ Yes, if you had asked me ten years ago, I would have said that bikes were quite popular. Nowadays, I think they are becoming less popular because there are bike accidents and cycling is quite dangerous.

The opening conditional is incomplete for a past hypothetical: it needs a clear subject and a matching conditional clause. Use if you had asked me with I would have said. This correction also makes the past reference clear by using were.

× Nowadays I think it is getting unpopular compared to the past.

✓ Nowadays, I think bikes are becoming less popular than they were in the past.

Less popular is the natural comparative form for describing a decline in popularity. The comparison should also identify what is being compared: bikes now and bikes in the past.
