Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Исправьте времена: для детских воспоминаний используйте Past Simple («I had», «I couldn’t»). Ответьте прямо и закончите мысль: уточните, был ли у вас велосипед и умели ли вы на нём ездить. Уберите повторы и незаконченные фразы; достаточно добавить одну конкретную деталь.

例: Yes, I had a small bike when I was about five or six. I couldn’t ride it at first, so my parents helped me practise. I eventually learned to ride it in our neighbourhood.

提案: Сформулируйте ясный ответ и поясните его без противоречия: если велосипедов и велодорожек много, объясните, почему вы всё же считаете их не очень популярными, либо измените начальный ответ. Замените неестественные выражения вроде «not too unfamiliar» на точные слова, например «fairly common» или «not very popular». Добавьте конкретную причину или пример и используйте связку «because» или «although».

例: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in larger cities. There are dedicated cycle paths, and many people use bikes for short journeys. However, cars and public transport are still more common for commuting.

× When I was younger I have a bike.

✓ When I was younger, I had a bike.

The sentence refers to a past period, so use the past simple had rather than the present-tense have. Use the past simple when describing something you owned in the past.

× I have a bike when I was 5 and 6.

✓ I had a bike when I was five or six.

The time expression when I was five or six refers to the past, so the verb should be in the past simple: had. Use or to express an approximate age.

× And for that moment I umm, can't ride the bike.

✓ At that moment, I couldn't ride a bike.

Use at, not for, with that moment when referring to a specific point in time. For a general past period, at that time is also natural.

× And for that moment I umm, can't ride the bike.

✓ At that moment, I couldn't ride a bike.

The speaker is describing a past situation, so use couldn't rather than can't. Use could or couldn't to talk about ability in the past.

× Actually, not so much, but we have a lot of bikes and special uh routes for a bike, but I think it's uh on average like no too much, not too unfamiliar so.

✓ Actually, not so much. We have a lot of bikes and special routes for them, but I think they are not very popular on average.

No too much is not a grammatical way to express degree here. Use not very popular to describe how popular bikes are. Also, use they to refer clearly to bikes; it's would refer to a singular thing.
