Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question using the past tense consistently: use “didn’t have,” not “don’t have.” Begin with a direct answer and add a brief reason or detail to make your response more complete. Avoid repeating the same idea.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride on busy roads. Instead, I usually walked or played sports with my friends.

提案: Use a clear topic sentence and avoid repetition, such as “bikes” and “use.” Use the plural pronoun “them” to refer to bikes, and say “middle-class families” rather than “middle class family.” Support your opinion with specific reasons and connect your ideas with linking words such as “because,” “also,” or “for example.”

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. Many middle-class families use them for short journeys because they help people save money on public transportation. In addition, cycling is becoming more popular among young people as a form of exercise.

× 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 phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past-tense form didn't have is required instead of the present-tense form don't have.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because most of the users use it.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because most of the users use them.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use the plural object pronoun them.

× Bikes because it is cheaper, affordable for middle class family.

✓ Bikes are popular because they are cheaper and more affordable for middle-class families.

The original sentence is incomplete because Bikes is not followed by a complete verb structure. Add are popular to form a complete sentence. The conjunction because should then introduce the reason.

× Bikes because it is cheaper, affordable for middle class family.

✓ Bikes are popular because they are cheaper and more affordable for middle-class families.

Bikes is plural, so the pronoun it is incorrect. Use they to refer to bikes.

× Bikes because it is cheaper, affordable for middle class family.

✓ Bikes are popular because they are cheaper and more affordable for middle-class families.

The sentence refers generally to families, so the plural form families is more appropriate than the singular form family. In general statements, plural countable nouns are commonly used.
