Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly and use the natural collocation “ride a bike” instead of “drive a bike.” Correct the past-tense forms: “My dad taught me” and “I really liked it.” Your answer includes relevant supporting details, but “when I was a child” and “when I was a kid” are repetitive. You could also use a linking word such as “As a result” to connect your childhood experience with your feelings now.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I used to ride it almost every day. My dad taught me how to ride, and I often cycled around my hometown with my friends. We especially enjoyed riding in the quiet countryside, so I really miss those peaceful days.

提案: Give a clear opinion at the beginning, such as “No, I don’t think bicycles are very popular in Ukraine.” Replace the vague phrase “opportunities for them” with specific reasons, such as a lack of bike lanes, limited parking, or unsafe traffic conditions. Avoid repeating “a lot of”; use alternatives like “many” or “limited.” Add a linking word such as “Furthermore” or “As a result” to make the explanation more coherent.

例: No, I don’t think bicycles are very popular in Ukraine. One reason is that many cities have limited bike lanes, so cycling can be unsafe, especially in heavy traffic. Furthermore, people often rely on cars or public transport for commuting. As a result, cycling is usually seen as a leisure activity rather than a practical means of transportation.

× My dad teach me and I really like it.

✓ My dad taught me, and I really liked it.

The sentence describes events that happened during the student's childhood, so both verbs should be in the past tense. The past tense of teach is taught, and the past tense of like is liked. Be careful to keep all verbs referring to the same past time period in the past tense.
