Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 質問には直接答えられていますが、「that is bought by that was bought by」と言い直しが重なり、文法的にも不自然です。子どもの頃の話なので、受け身は過去形の「was bought by」を使いましょう。さらに、色や乗っていた場所などを一つ加えると、具体的で自然な回答になります。

例: Yes, I had a bike that my parents bought for me when I was about seven. It was blue, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

提案: 「No, I don't」で質問に答えられていますが、「many Japanese people like to work」は自転車の人気とのつながりが不明確で、不自然に聞こえます。自転車を使う人が少ないと思う理由を、車で通勤する人が多い、公共交通機関が便利など、具体的な点で説明しましょう。「because」に続く理由を質問に直接関連づけると、論理が明確になります。

例: Not as much as in some other countries, I think. Many people in Japan use cars or public transport to get around, especially in larger cities, where trains are very convenient.

× Yes, I had a bike that is bought by that was bought by my parents.

✓ Yes, I had a bike that was bought by my parents.

The bike was bought in the past, so the passive verb should be in the past tense: 'was bought,' not 'is bought.' Use 'was + past participle' to form the past passive.

× Yes, I had a bike that is bought by that was bought by my parents.

✓ Yes, I had a bike that was bought by my parents.

The phrase 'that is bought by' is repeated and incorrectly joined to 'that was bought by.' Keep only one relative clause: 'that was bought by my parents.'
