Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then add one or two relevant details. Correct the key language errors: say “bike,” not “bite”; “was given to me on my tenth birthday,” not “gifted … in my birthday”; and “used to ride,” not “used to drove.” Use “rode around my neighborhood” to describe where you cycled naturally.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents gave it to me on my tenth birthday, and I was really excited about it. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Give a clear answer and support it with the reasons you already mention. Avoid repeating “in my country,” use “convenient” rather than “conventional,” and say “bikes are more economical and convenient than cars.” You could also clarify whether you mean bicycles or motorbikes if that is relevant.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in busy cities. They’re more economical and convenient than cars because they cost less to run and are easier to use in heavy traffic.

× It was gifted by my parents in my 10th birthday.

✓ It was gifted by my parents on my 10th birthday.

Use on with a specific date or birthday. In is used for longer periods, such as months or years. A more natural phrasing would be: My parents gave it to me on my 10th birthday.

× It was very beautiful and I used to drove in my neighborhood.

✓ It was very beautiful, and I used to drive in my neighborhood.

After used to, use the base form of the verb. Therefore, drove should be drive. Drove is the simple past form and does not follow used to.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country since there is heavy traffic in my country and also it is very economical and conventional to use bike over a car.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country since there is heavy traffic in my country, and it is also very economical and conventional to use a bike over a car.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before bike when referring to one nonspecific bike.
