Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly and keep your response to three or four clear sentences. Use the past tense consistently: say “I didn’t have a bike” and “It didn’t have brakes,” not “I don’t have” or “It doesn’t have.” Avoid repetition and unclear phrases such as “They are all they will all give me bike.” Organize your answer with a topic sentence, followed by specific details about borrowing your friends’ bikes and learning to ride. Use linking words such as “although,” “because,” or “so” to connect your ideas.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike of my own when I was a child. However, I often borrowed my friends’ bikes, and they helped me learn how to ride. One of the bikes didn’t have any brakes, so I had to be very careful. Although I enjoyed riding, I never became a very confident cyclist.

提案: Begin with a clear opinion and then explain why bikes are popular. Use accurate grammar and natural expressions: say “Many people use bikes for their daily commute” rather than “Many of them use bike to travel daily for daily uses.” Avoid repeating “bike” and remove unclear phrases such as “maintain their bikes very bike used to see bikes.” Add one or two specific examples, such as cycling to work, exercising, or taking short trips. Use a linking word such as “In addition” or “This is because” to make the answer more coherent.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for short journeys and exercise. Many people cycle to work or use bicycles to run errands because they are affordable and environmentally friendly. In addition, some cycling enthusiasts take their bikes on long trips at weekends. As a result, bike shops and cycling clubs are becoming more common.

× I don't have bike when I was child, but I used to ride bicycle.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I used to ride a bicycle.

The question asks about the speaker's childhood, so the past tense didn't have is required instead of don't have. Use the past form was in I was a child.

× I don't have bike when I was child, but I used to ride bicycle.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I used to ride a bicycle.

Bike and bicycle are singular countable nouns, so they need an article. Use a before both nouns because they are mentioned generally, not as specific objects.

× It doesn't have break.

✓ It didn't have brakes.

A bicycle normally has two brakes, so the plural form brakes is appropriate. The sentence refers to the bicycle in the past, so didn't have is also used.

× It doesn't have break.

✓ It didn't have brakes.

The answer describes the bicycle the speaker used as a child, so the past tense didn't have is needed instead of doesn't have.

× It doesn't have break.

✓ It didn't have brakes.

Although brakes is plural and does not need an indefinite article, the original singular noun break is incorrect. The correct noun is the plural form brakes.

× I also play with my friends bike.

✓ I also played with my friends' bikes.

The speaker is describing childhood activities, so play should be changed to the past tense played.

× I also play with my friends bike.

✓ I also played with my friends' bikes.

The sentence refers to bikes belonging to more than one friend, so both friends and bikes should be plural. The apostrophe after friends shows plural possession.

× They are all they will all give me bike.

✓ They all gave me a bike.

The answer is about what happened in the past, so gave is required. The unnecessary repeated subject and future form have been removed to create a grammatically complete sentence.

× They are all they will all give me bike.

✓ They all gave me a bike.

The original sentence contains two overlapping clauses: They are all and they will all give me. Combining them creates an incomplete and confusing structure. They all gave me a bike is a complete sentence.

× They are all they will all give me bike.

✓ They all gave me a bike.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs the indefinite article a.

× They will help me uh, to ride bike.

✓ They helped me ride a bike.

Because the speaker is describing childhood experiences, helped should be used instead of will help. After help, the base verb ride is natural, and the phrase a bike needs an article.

× They will help me uh, to ride bike.

✓ They helped me ride a bike.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it requires the article a.

× I don't know to ride bike.

✓ I didn't know how to ride a bike.

The sentence refers to the speaker's childhood, so didn't know is the correct past-tense form. The correct structure is know how to ride, not know to ride.

× I don't know to ride bike.

✓ I didn't know how to ride a bike.

The verb know normally takes the structure know how to do something when referring to a skill. Therefore, how should be added before to ride.

× I don't know to ride bike.

✓ I didn't know how to ride a bike.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs the article a.

× Many of them use bike to travel, uh daily for daily uses.

✓ Many of them use bikes for daily travel.

The sentence refers to bikes in general, so the plural form bikes is more appropriate than the singular form bike.

× Many of them use bike to travel, uh daily for daily uses.

✓ Many of them use bikes for daily travel.

For is the appropriate preposition when describing the purpose of using bikes. The phrase for daily travel is more natural than to travel for daily uses.

× Many of them use bike to travel, uh daily for daily uses.

✓ Many of them use bikes for daily travel.

The general plural noun bikes does not need an article. Changing bike to bikes also makes the general meaning clear.

× They also use bike for long trips.

✓ They also use bikes for long trips.

The sentence describes how people generally travel, so the plural form bikes is appropriate.

× They also use bike for long trips.

✓ They also use bikes for long trips.

A singular countable noun would require an article, but the general statement is more naturally expressed with the plural noun bikes.

× Some are very crazy about bikes and maintain their bikes very bike used to see bikes.

✓ Some people are very passionate about bikes and maintain their bikes very well.

The original sentence contains an incomplete and disorganized sequence after maintain their bikes. Replacing that fragment with very well creates a complete structure and clearly expresses how the bikes are maintained.

× Some are very crazy about bikes and maintain their bikes very bike used to see bikes.

✓ Some people are very passionate about bikes and maintain their bikes very well.

Well is the adverb needed to describe the verb maintain. Bike is a noun and cannot be used in this position as an adverb.
