Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 過去の経験について尋ねられているため、「I didn’t have a bike」と過去形を使いましょう。また、「I don’t like cycling」だけでなく、乗らなかった具体的な理由や代わりに利用していた交通手段を加えると、より自然で内容のある回答になります。

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I wasn’t interested in cycling. I usually walked or took the bus to school instead.

提案: 「different transportation」は不自然なので、「other forms of transport」や具体的な「cars and buses」を使いましょう。また、国全体についての意見を述べる際は、「In my opinion」などで考えを明確にし、なぜ自転車があまり人気でないのかを具体的に説明すると効果的です。

例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer cars and buses because they are more convenient, especially for travelling long distances.

× No, I don't have a bike because I don't like cycling.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike because I don't like cycling.

The question asks about the past with did you have, so the answer should use the past-tense form didn't have. The present tense don't like is acceptable if the student still dislikes cycling now.

× No, I don't think so because we can travel by different transportation.

✓ No, I don't think so because we can travel by different means of transportation.

Different is used here with a plural countable noun. Transportation is generally an uncountable noun, so different transportation is unnatural in this sentence. Use the plural expression different means of transportation or different forms of transportation.
