Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence: “Yes, I did.” Correct the grammar and word choices: use “when I was a child” instead of “when I was that,” “rode” instead of “rude,” and “on weekends” instead of “on weekend.” Use a linking word such as “because” to explain how you used the bicycle, and keep the answer natural and specific.

例: Yes, I did. I had a bicycle when I was a child, and it was very useful because I often rode it to visit my friends after school. I also used it to go to the park on weekends.

提案: Give a direct answer first and then support it with reasons. Correct “Most of the people” to “Most people,” “use bike” to “use bikes,” and “it was” to “they are” because you are discussing bikes in general. Replace “easy to pack” with “easy to park,” and mention a specific advantage, such as helping people travel through busy traffic.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in India. Many people use them because they are cheaper to buy and maintain than cars, and they are also easier to park. In busy cities, bikes are especially convenient because they can move through traffic more easily.

✓ As I had a bicycle when I was a child, it was very useful because I often rode to visit my friends after school and to go to the park on weekends.

✓ Most people in India use bikes more than cars because they are cheaper and easier to park.

The general statement refers to bicycles and cars as categories, so the plural nouns bikes and cars are needed. Use plural nouns when describing a whole type of object rather than one specific object.
