Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and use correct tense and natural phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect auxiliary verbs.

例: Yes, I did. My father bought me a red bicycle when I was eight, and I rode it to school and to my friends’ houses every day. Because I practised often, I became quite confident riding on busy streets.

提案: Answer directly with a clear opinion, then support it with specific reasons and examples using linking words. Use correct article/noun forms and natural collocations (e.g., “eco-friendly” and “use bicycles”).

例: Yes, I think so. Bicycles are popular because they are an affordable and eco-friendly way to get around, so many people use them for short trips. For example, in my city, commuter bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes have made cycling a convenient option for daily travel.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses past tense 'Did you have', so the short affirmative response should use past tense 'did', not 'have'. Use 'Yes, I did.' for a short answer to past simple questions.

× I think yes because bicycle is eco friendly transport.

✓ I think so because bicycles are an eco-friendly form of transport.

The original has several issues: 'I think yes' is awkward — use 'I think so'. 'Bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles' when speaking generally (singular/plural issue), and 'eco friendly' needs a hyphen and 'an' before the noun phrase. Also use 'form of transport' for natural phrasing. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'bicycles are'.

× So nowadays people prefer to bicycle instead of cars.

✓ So nowadays people prefer bicycles to cars.

The verb 'prefer' is commonly followed by a noun or gerund and uses 'to' rather than 'instead of' in this comparison. Use plural 'bicycles' for general statements and parallel structure 'prefer X to Y' is more natural: 'prefer bicycles to cars'.
