Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and use the correct past tense: “when I was a child.” Also, “write” means to produce written words; the correct verb here is “ride.” The phrase “didn't know how to ride a bike” is sufficient, so avoid adding “once.”

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I never learned how to ride one. My parents thought it was safer for me to walk or take public transportation.

提案: Give a clear overall answer first, then explain the difference between age groups. Use natural expressions such as “among older people” and “among people my age,” and avoid repeating “But.” The phrase “they're most likely didn't know” is grammatically incorrect; say “they’re less likely to know” or “many of them don’t know.” Add one specific reason or example to make the answer more developed and coherent.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among older people, many of whom use them for short trips. However, they are less common among people my age because we usually use buses, cars, or electric scooters instead.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I'm a child because I didn't know how to write once.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I didn't know how to write once.

The question asks about a past period, so the verb be must be in the past tense: was, not am. Use was with the singular subject I when referring to a past situation.

× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, but it's among the older people as most of them know how to ride a bike. But for people who are Sam Ashes and as me, they're most likely didn't know how to ride a bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, but they are especially popular among older people, as most of them know how to ride a bike. However, for people who are the same age as me, they most likely don't know how to ride a bike.

Bikes is plural, so it must be referred to with they, not it. Also, the phrase Sam Ashes is unclear and appears to mean the same age. Use the complete phrase the same age as me to express this comparison clearly.

× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, but it's among the older people as most of them know how to ride a bike. But for people who are Sam Ashes and as me, they're most likely didn't know how to ride a bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, but they are especially popular among older people, as most of them know how to ride a bike. However, people who are the same age as me are most likely not to know how to ride a bike.

The structure they're most likely didn't know is incorrect because it combines are with the past-tense auxiliary didn't. Use are most likely not to know or most likely do not know. Also, avoid beginning a closely connected sentence with But; use However or join the ideas more smoothly.
