Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Correct grammar and make the answer more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “did had” is incorrect).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. However, I never learned to ride it because I was afraid of falling, so my parents usually pushed me around the park instead.

提案: Provide a clearer structure: give a direct opinion, then support it with two specific contrasting reasons using linking words. Be specific about the city issue (e.g., traffic, infrastructure). Avoid vague endings.

例: I think bikes are both popular and unpopular depending on the region. In rural areas they are common because many people cannot afford motor vehicles, so they rely on bikes for short trips. In the city, however, bikes are less practical due to heavy traffic and limited bike lanes, so most people prefer motorcycles or cars.

× Yes I did had a bike when I was a child but I did not try to learn how to ride it because I was scared of falling down.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I did not try to learn how to ride it because I was scared of falling down.

The auxiliary 'did' is used for past simple questions and negatives; when making an affirmative past simple statement you should use the past form of the main verb without 'did'. 'Did had' is incorrect. Use 'I had' for affirmative past. Also add commas for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 5

× But where I live here in the city, bike is not ideal because there's a lot.

✓ But where I live in the city, bikes are not ideal because there are a lot of traffic/vehicles.

The original sentence has two issues relevant to subject-verb agreement and plurality: 'bike is' uses singular 'bike' while referring generally to bicycles, so the plural 'bikes' should be used and the verb should agree: 'bikes are'. Also 'there's a lot' is informal and ambiguous; for plural reference use 'there are a lot (of ...)' and specify what is meant, for example 'a lot of traffic' or 'a lot of vehicles'.

× Yes because in the provinces not a lot of people can afford their own vehicle so they use bikes in terms of transportation around the area.

✓ Yes, because in the provinces not a lot of people can afford their own vehicles, so they use bikes for transportation around the area.

The phrase 'in terms of transportation' is awkward here; the correct preposition is 'for' when indicating purpose: 'for transportation'. Also 'vehicle' should be plural 'vehicles' to agree with 'not a lot of people' and 'their'. Added commas for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 11
