Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and use the natural expression “a bike” rather than “any bike” in this affirmative-style statement. You could also add one specific reason or detail to make the answer more developed, such as how you usually travelled or whether you wanted a bike.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents usually drove me to school because it was quite far from our home. However, I often borrowed my friends’ bikes to play with them after school.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence and support it with accurate, specific reasons. Avoid the incorrect phrase “every poor people have bike”; say “many people, especially those on lower incomes, own bikes” or “bikes are affordable for many people.” Use plural forms correctly: “people,” “bikes,” and “go long distances.” Also, avoid making an absolute generalization such as “every.”

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in India, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. They are relatively affordable and convenient for commuting, so many people use them to travel to work, school, or local markets. In addition, motorcycles are often more practical than cars on crowded roads.

× No, I did not have any bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.

The singular countable noun bike normally needs a determiner. In this sentence, a bike is the natural choice because you are referring to owning one bike in general. Any bike is possible in some contexts, but it sounds less natural here.

× Yeah, of course bikes are very important in India because every poor people have bike to go far away.

✓ Yeah, of course, bikes are very important in India because every poor person has a bike to travel long distances.

Every must be followed by a singular countable noun, so people must be changed to person. The phrase every poor people is grammatically incorrect because people is plural.

× Yeah, of course bikes are very important in India because every poor people have bike to go far away.

✓ Yeah, of course, bikes are very important in India because every poor person has a bike to travel long distances.

The subject every poor person is third-person singular, so the verb must be has, not have. Remember to add -s or use the appropriate singular form of the verb after every, each, and other singular subjects.

× Yeah, of course bikes are very important in India because every poor people have bike to go far away.

✓ Yeah, of course, bikes are very important in India because every poor person has a bike to travel long distances.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a bike when referring to one non-specific bike. Also, the sentence is more natural with travel long distances than go far away in this context.
