Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Beantworte die Frage direkt und fasse die Wiederholungen am Ende zusammen („I have some. I have one.“). Vermeide das Füllwort „Uh“ und formuliere die Gründe etwas flüssiger. Du kannst kurz erklären, ob du später sicherer geworden bist oder noch immer selten fährst.

例: Yes, I had a bike as a child, but I hardly ever rode it because I was afraid of falling or bumping into pedestrians. As a result, I felt quite anxious whenever I got on it. I became more comfortable with cycling as I got older, although I still don’t ride very often.

提案: Beginne mit einer klaren Antwort, zum Beispiel „No, cycling isn’t very popular in my country.“ Achte auf die Grammatik: „bikes … are“ oder „cycling … is“. Vermeide die Wiederholung „bike bike roads“ und trenne die langen Gedanken in kürzere Sätze. Nenne anschließend konkrete Gründe, etwa fehlende Radwege und unsicheres Verhalten von Autofahrern oder Fußgängern.

例: No, cycling isn’t very popular in my country. One reason is that there aren’t enough dedicated bike lanes, so cyclists often have to ride in busy traffic. Also, some drivers don’t give cyclists enough space, while pedestrians sometimes walk in the bike lanes. As a result, many people may feel that cycling is unsafe.

× Bikes in my country is nowhere to be popular.

✓ Bikes in my country are not popular.

Bikes is a plural subject, so it requires the plural verb are, not is. Use are with plural subjects. The phrase nowhere to be popular is also not a standard grammatical construction here; not popular expresses the intended meaning clearly.

× due to lack of the bike bike roads

✓ due to a lack of bike roads

Use a lack of when referring to an unspecified shortage. The definite article the is unnecessary because the bike roads have not been identified as a specific group. Remove the repeated bike as well.
