Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then add one or two clear details about the bike or how you used it. Correct the grammar: say “My father gave it to me” and “I really enjoyed riding it.” Avoid filler words and do not trail off; a concise answer of two or three sentences is enough.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father gave it to me, and I used to ride it in the garden of our big house. I really enjoyed it because it made me feel free.

提案: Give a direct answer, then support it with a specific reason or contrast. Since you refer to Istanbul, distinguish the situation in your city from the rest of Turkey rather than generalizing about the whole country. Use natural phrasing such as “traffic is very heavy” and “there isn’t much space for cyclists,” and finish your answer instead of trailing off.

例: Bikes aren’t very popular in Istanbul, mainly because the traffic is heavy and there are few safe places for cyclists. However, they may be more common in smaller towns or in areas with dedicated bike lanes.

× My father gave me.

✓ My father gave me a bike.

The verb gave needs an object indicating what was given. Add a bike to complete the sentence.

× Uh I was really enjoy when I'm doing it.

✓ I was really enjoying it when I was doing it.

After was, use the present participle form of the verb: enjoying, not enjoy. Enjoy also needs an object here, such as it.

× Uh I was really enjoy when I'm doing it.

✓ I was really enjoying it when I was doing it.

The speaker is describing a past experience, so the past progressive was doing is needed instead of the present progressive I'm doing. Keep the verb tenses consistent when narrating past events.

× Cars are really heavy on the traffic, so there is no space for the bikers.

✓ Traffic is really heavy, so there is no space for bikers.

Heavy does not naturally describe cars as being on the traffic. To express that there is a lot of traffic, say traffic is really heavy. Use this phrase directly rather than adding the incorrect preposition on.
