Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the past tense: “Yes, I had a bike.” Then explain briefly when and why you used it. Correct “buy” to “bike,” keep your pronouns consistent, and say “it saved me time and effort” rather than “they help us to reduce my effort.” Avoid fillers and keep the answer focused.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it to school because it was convenient and saved me time. It was also cheaper than taking other forms of transport.

提案: Give a clear answer first, then support it with one or two reasons. Use “people” rather than “peoples,” and replace “walking friendly” with a relevant phrase such as “affordable and convenient.” Avoid broad claims that most people are poor; you could explain that bikes are popular because they cost less to buy and maintain. Finish the answer with a complete thought.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. They are affordable to buy and maintain, and they are useful for short journeys. Many people also choose them to avoid traffic.

× I have a buy when I am a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a time in the past, so use the past-tense forms had and was. Bike is the correct spelling for the vehicle.

× Usually I use it, uh, when I went up, uh, college or school.

✓ I usually used it when I went to college or school.

The answer describes a childhood habit, so use used to keep the verb tense consistent with the past context. The correction to went to is covered separately under preposition use.

× When I went up, uh, college or school.

✓ When I went to college or school.

Use to with went when naming a destination. Up is not appropriate in this phrase.

× They help us to reduce, uh, my effort.

✓ They helped me reduce my effort.

The answer describes the past, so use helped. Use me rather than us to agree with the speaker's reference to my effort.

× They help us to reduce, uh, my effort.

✓ They helped me reduce my effort.

The sentence refers to the speaker's effort, so the object pronoun should be me, not us. Keep the pronoun consistent with my.

× It's assist me to, uh, save time.

✓ It assisted me in saving time.

The answer refers to the speaker's childhood, so use the past-tense verb assisted. The corrected phrase also uses the natural construction assisted me in saving time.

× Mostly peoples are poor.

✓ Most people are poor.

People is already the plural form of person and does not take an s. Most is also the appropriate quantifier here.

× They cannot buy afford any other vehicle.

✓ They cannot afford to buy any other vehicle.

Buy and afford cannot be used together in this order. Use afford to buy, with to before the second verb.

× Bikes are very walking friendly and cheap and very helpful for peoples.

✓ Bikes are very convenient for getting around, inexpensive, and very helpful for people.

Walking friendly is not a natural adjective phrase in this context. Convenient for getting around expresses the intended meaning clearly. People is also the correct plural form; see the separate plural-error suggestion.

× Bikes are very walking friendly and cheap and very helpful for peoples.

✓ Bikes are very convenient for getting around, inexpensive, and very helpful for people.

People is already plural, so do not add s. Use people rather than peoples when referring generally to individuals.

× So in more country most.

✓ So, in most countries, most people use bikes.

Use most countries to mean the majority of countries; more countries is comparative and requires a comparison. The original phrase also needs a complete clause, as addressed separately.

× So in more country most.

✓ So, in most countries, most people use bikes.

The original is an incomplete sentence because it has no complete subject-and-verb clause. Adding most people use bikes makes the intended idea a complete sentence.
