Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is short and somewhat unclear: the phrase "couldn't affect it" is incorrect and makes your reason hard to understand. Give a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Also avoid grammatical errors (use "couldn't afford one" or "didn't allow me"). Keep it under five sentences.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford one. As a result, I usually walked to school or used public transport, and I occasionally borrowed my neighbor's bike on weekends.

提案: Your answer is repetitive and too brief. Expand with one or two specific reasons and use linking words to connect ideas (for example, "because", "so", "however"). Use varied vocabulary (e.g., "common", "widely used", "increasingly popular").

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work or school, and bike-sharing programs have made cycling even more common in cities.

× No, I didn't have a bike in my childhood because my parents couldn't affect it.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford one.

Original sentence uses 'in my childhood' (awkward; use 'when I was a child') and 'couldn't affect it' which is incorrect collocation — 'affect' does not mean 'provide' or 'buy'. The intended meaning is that the parents lacked the means, so use 'couldn't afford one'. Also replace 'a bike in my childhood' with 'a bike when I was a child' for natural English. Suggested improvement: use natural time expressions (when I was a child) and correct verbs for meaning ('afford' for inability to pay).

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

Original sentence repeats the preposition 'in' ('in in my country') which is a typing/structure error. No change in number is needed because 'bikes' (plural) matches 'are popular'. Remove the extra 'in' to correct the sentence. Suggested improvement: proofread to remove duplicate words and ensure prepositions are used once.
