Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly and clarify whether you mean a bicycle or a motorbike, since “bike” can refer to either. Use the past tense (“didn’t have”) and finish your thought with a clear reason. Avoid the confusing phrase “I do have a bicycle because it was as.”

例: No, I didn’t have a motorbike when I was a child. I lived in India until I was about 15, and people generally had to be at least 16 to ride one legally. I did ride bicycles occasionally, though.

提案: Give a direct answer, then support it with one or two clear reasons. Avoid repeating “India” and “cheap,” and correct the comparative form to “cheaper.” You could also explain what you mean by “road structure,” such as narrow or congested roads, and avoid saying that everyone can afford a bike.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in India, especially motorcycles and scooters. They’re generally much cheaper to buy and run than cars, so they’re a practical option for many people. They’re also easier to use on busy or narrow roads.

× I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past period, and the time clause uses the past tense was. Use didn't have, the past-tense negative form, rather than don't have.

× I do have a bicycle because it was as in India there is a certain age limit that a person can't drive the bike until they get past 16 and I just stayed in India till I was like 15 so I never.

✓ I didn't have a bike as a child because, in India, people cannot ride a bike until they are 16, and I lived there only until I was about 15, so I never got one.

The original sentence combines several ideas in an unclear, run-on structure, and the phrase because it was as is incomplete. Separate the reason from the personal detail, and make the final clause complete by adding a verb after so I never.

× They can't afford the cars easily.

✓ They can't easily afford cars.

The sentence refers to cars in general, so the definite article the is unnecessary. Use the plural noun cars without an article when speaking about a category in general.

× Compared to bikes are comparatively cheapers over there.

✓ Compared with cars, bikes are cheaper there.

The comparison needs to identify what bikes are being compared with. Use compared with cars to make the comparison clear.

× Bikes are comparatively cheapers over there.

✓ Bikes are cheaper there.

The comparative form of cheap is cheaper, not cheapers. Do not add -s to a comparative adjective.

× Every person can afford that.

✓ Everyone can afford one.

The pronoun that refers unclearly to bikes, which are plural. Use one to refer to a single bike as an example of the plural category, or use them to refer to bikes in general.
