Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly, then give one clear reason. Correct the verb phrase to “haven’t been able to ride” or, when referring to childhood, use “couldn’t ride.” Avoid repeating the same idea in “I don’t know how” and “I didn’t have one”; explain whether you had a bike or could ride one.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because nobody taught me how to ride. As a result, I never learned, although I’d like to try cycling someday.

提案: Your answer gives relevant examples, but the phrase “one of the more of the transport” is ungrammatical, and repeated fillers and words make it less fluent. Say “one of the most common forms of transport” and organize your examples into a smooth sentence. You could also briefly mention why people use bikes.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children. They’re a common way to get to school or church, and people also use them for short trips around their neighborhoods because they’re convenient.

× As a child nobody taught me how to ride a bike, so I haven't able to rode one. I don't know how and I didn't have one.

✓ As a child, nobody taught me how to ride a bike, so I wasn't able to ride one. I didn't know how, and I didn't have one.

The student is describing a childhood experience, so the verbs should be in the past tense: wasn't able and didn't know. After to, use the base form ride, not the past-tense form rode. Use a comma after the introductory phrase As a child.

× It's one of the more of uh the transport of children going to uh school, to church, or or even just in in the nearby areas.

✓ Bikes are one of the most common means of transport for children going to school, church, or nearby places.

The phrase one of the more of the transport is not a complete or grammatical construction. To express that bikes are a common way to travel, use one of the most common means of transport. The phrase for children clearly shows who uses the transport, and the list can be stated without the repeated fillers.
