Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question in the past tense because it refers to your childhood. Say “I didn’t have” instead of “I don’t have.” You could also add a brief reason or detail to make the answer more complete and natural.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride one on the busy roads in my neighborhood.

提案: Your answer has a clear opinion and a relevant reason, but several expressions are inaccurate or unnatural. Replace “our country like Bangladesh” with “Bangladesh,” “conjures less times” with “take less time,” and “traffic jam” with “traffic jams.” Use a linking phrase such as “This is because” and give a specific example, such as commuters using bikes to avoid congested roads.

例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in Bangladesh, especially in large cities. This is because traffic jams are a common problem, and bicycles can help people avoid congestion and reach their destinations more quickly. For example, many students and office workers use bikes for short journeys.

× No, I don't have a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike.

The examiner asks about the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use did not (didn't) have instead of do not (don't) have.

× Obviously, bikes are very popular in our country like Bangladesh because traffic jam is a very common problem in our big city.

✓ Obviously, bikes are very popular in our country, Bangladesh, because traffic jams are a very common problem in our big cities.

When speaking generally about this problem, use the plural form traffic jams. Because the sentence refers to cities in a country generally, big cities is also more appropriate than our big city.

× In this case, bikes are very much useful because it conjures less times to reach the destination.

✓ In this case, bikes are very useful because they take less time to reach the destination.

Very useful is the natural adjective phrase. Very much is generally not used before this adjective. Use less time because time is uncountable in this meaning; do not use the plural form times.

× In this case, bikes are very much useful because it conjures less times to reach the destination.

✓ In this case, bikes are very useful because they take less time to reach the destination.

The pronoun must agree with the plural noun bikes. Use they, not it. A plural subject should be referred to with they.

× In this case, bikes are very much useful because it conjures less times to reach the destination.

✓ In this case, bikes are very useful because they take less time to reach the destination.

The subject bikes is plural, so the verb must be take, not conjures. In addition, take time is the correct verb phrase for expressing how long something requires.
