Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural and grammatically correct, keep it concise (max 5 sentences), and add one specific detail. Use a clear topic sentence, then explain briefly with linking words. Correct verb forms and possessives (e.g., 'my family's situation', 'my neighbour's bike').

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn't afford one. However, I used to borrow my neighbour's bike once a week to practise, so I learned to ride that way. I remember feeling proud the first time I rode without help.

提案: Expand slightly with one or two specific reasons or examples and use linking words to make the answer more informative and natural. Aim for a topic sentence followed by a brief supporting detail (reason, comparison or example).

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many students and office workers cycle to work, and some cities have dedicated bike lanes which encourage more people to ride.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, my family could not have for one.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child; my family could not afford one.

The sentence mixes a negative past statement with an incorrect verb phrase 'could not have for one.' The correct expression is 'could not afford one' to indicate inability to pay in the past. Also replace the comma splice with a semicolon or split into two sentences to fix sentence structure.

× So I usually borrow my neighbor bike once a week and I learn to ride that way.

✓ So I usually borrowed my neighbor's bike once a week and learned to ride that way.

The context is past habit, so verbs should be in the past tense ('borrowed', 'learned') rather than present. Also, possessive form 'neighbor's bike' is required. Use past tense for habitual actions in the past: 'usually borrowed' and 'learned'.
