Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly without repeating the opening phrase. Use past-tense grammar consistently: say “we usually walked” and “we only used the bike.” Break the long sentence into shorter sentences, and add a clear linking word such as “so” to explain why you did not cycle to school.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was in primary school, and I shared it with my sister. Since our house was only a short walk from school, we usually walked there instead of cycling. We mainly used the bike at weekends to ride around our neighborhood.

提案: State your opinion clearly and correct the unclear phrase “the word popular.” Use “an electric bike” rather than “a electric bike,” and clarify what you mean by “for the community.” Support your answer with a specific reason or comparison, such as convenience in busy cities.

例: Yes, bicycles are still popular in China, especially for short trips. However, many young people now prefer electric bikes because they are faster and require less effort. They are also convenient in busy cities where people want to avoid traffic.

× we mostly walked in

✓ we mostly walked to school

Use to when describing walking toward a destination. In does not correctly express the destination in this sentence.

× instead of take a ride

✓ instead of taking a ride

After instead of, use a noun or a gerund (a verb ending in -ing). Change take to taking.

× And you only use a bike on weekends to ride around the neighborhood.

✓ And we only used the bike on weekends to ride around the neighborhood.

The answer describes the student's childhood, so the past-tense verb used is appropriate. Use we to refer to the student and their sister, rather than you.

× I think bikes are the word popular in China

✓ I think bikes are popular in China

The word makes the phrase the word popular structurally incorrect here. Remove it so that popular directly describes bikes.

× a electric bike

✓ an electric bike

Use an before a vowel sound. Electric begins with a vowel sound, so an is the correct article.
