Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then add one clear supporting detail. Avoid restarting mid-sentence, and use the past passive correctly: “My bike was stolen” or “Someone stole it.” Also, use a linking word such as “unfortunately” to connect the detail naturally.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. Unfortunately, someone stole it when I was about ten, so I had to walk to school for a while.

提案: Your answer is clear and includes relevant reasons and examples. Replace the unnatural phrase “especially electric wise” with “especially electric bikes” or “particularly e-bikes.” Add a comma before “so” to make the sentence easier to follow.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially electric bikes. They’re convenient and relatively affordable, so many commuters and students use them for short trips around the city.

× Some person, some people stolen them.

✓ Some people stole it.

Stolen is a past participle and needs an auxiliary verb, such as have, to form a perfect tense. Because the answer describes what happened in the past, use the simple past tense stole.

× I had a bike, but some people stolen them.

✓ I had a bike, but some people stole it.

The pronoun them is plural, but it refers to the singular noun bike. Use the singular pronoun it. Check that each pronoun agrees in number with the noun it refers to.

× They are convenient and affordable so many commuters and students ride them for short trips around the city.

✓ They are convenient and affordable, so many commuters and students ride them for short trips around the city.

The sentence joins two independent clauses with the coordinating conjunction so. Add a comma before so to separate the clauses and make the sentence structure clear.
