Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your tense and grammar consistent, use a clear topic sentence, and add one supporting detail with a linking word. Keep it natural and concise (max 5 sentences). For example, start with a past-tense topic sentence, then give a brief reason or memory using a linking word (e.g., “because” or “so”).

例: I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child, but I often rode my brother’s. Because he lived next door, I could borrow his bike almost every weekend and we would race in the park.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence, use correct plural and article forms, and add a specific supporting detail with a linking word to explain where or why bikes are popular. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., “cyclists,” “coastal paths,” “commuting”).

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, when I go to the seaside I often see many cyclists using coastal paths for leisure, and in some cities people also use bicycles for commuting because it is faster and cheaper than driving.

× When I was a kid, I don't have any bike, but I always ride my brother's bike.

✓ When I was a kid, I didn't have any bike, but I always rode my brother's bike.

The sentence refers to past time ('When I was a kid'), so present tense 'don't have' and present simple 'ride' are incorrect. Use past simple for both verbs: 'didn't have' (negative past of 'have') and 'rode' (past of 'ride'). Also consider using 'a bike' or 'any bikes' for natural phrasing; 'any bike' is acceptable in negative but plural 'any bikes' is also common. Suggestion: 'When I was a kid, I didn't have a bike, but I always rode my brother's.'

× Yes, when I go to the seaside I see a lot of bicycle and people ride them.

✓ Yes, when I go to the seaside I see a lot of bicycles and people ride them.

The phrase 'a lot of' must be followed by a plural count noun, so 'bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles'. The rest of the sentence is acceptable: present simple 'go' and 'see' are fine for habitual actions. Alternative natural phrasing: 'Yes, when I go to the seaside I see a lot of people riding bicycles.'
