Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, use past tense and a clear topic sentence. Keep it concise (1–3 sentences) and add a brief reason or detail with a linking word. Also avoid redundancy.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school because my family couldn’t afford one at the time.

提案: Use natural phrasing and correct sentence structure. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add a specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., because, as, so). Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

例: Not really — bicycles aren’t very popular in my country because most people prefer motorcycles for their speed and affordability. For example, many commuters choose scooters to navigate busy streets quickly.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The sentence mixes present tense ('don't have') with a past time phrase ('when I was a child'). Use past tense 'didn't have' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: use past simple for habits or possession in the past: 'I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'

× No, I think bikes are not popular in my country instead of motorcycle is more popular.

✓ No, I think bikes are not popular in my country; instead, motorcycles are more popular.

The original sentence has awkward structure and missing plural agreement and connector punctuation. 'Instead of' is misused; use 'instead' to contrast two clauses. Also 'motorcycle' should be plural 'motorcycles' to agree with general statement. Suggestion: join contrasting ideas with 'instead' or 'whereas' and use plural nouns for generalizations: '...instead, motorcycles are more popular.'
