Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer naturally with “Yes, I did” or “Yes, I had one.” Add a brief detail, such as when you used it or what you enjoyed doing with it, to develop your response.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighbourhood.

提案: Give a clear answer first, then explain why. Use “cycling” or “bikes” consistently, and say “bike lanes” or “cycling paths” rather than “bike roles.” You could explain that a lack of safe cycling routes makes riding uncomfortable. Avoid fillers and repeated words.

例: Yes, cycling is quite popular in Korea, especially in cities and along rivers. However, there aren’t enough safe bike lanes in some areas, so riding on busy roads can be uncomfortable.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses the auxiliary did, so the short answer should repeat did rather than had. Match the auxiliary in the question when giving a short answer.

× Yes, it is most popular, uh, take a bike in Korea, but we don't have um much bike roles, so is on comfort comfort table.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in Korea, but we don't have many bike lanes, so riding a bike is uncomfortable.

The pronoun it does not agree with the plural noun bikes; use they, or repeat bikes. In the correction, bikes are used directly as the subject to make the agreement clear.

× Yes, it is most popular, uh, take a bike in Korea, but we don't have um much bike roles, so is on comfort comfort table.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in Korea, but we don't have many bike lanes, so riding a bike is uncomfortable.

Bike lanes are countable plural items, so use many rather than much. Use much with uncountable nouns, such as much traffic.

× Yes, it is most popular, uh, take a bike in Korea, but we don't have um much bike roles, so is on comfort comfort table.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in Korea, but we don't have many bike lanes, so riding a bike is uncomfortable.

The final clause is missing a clear subject, and the phrase take a bike does not form a complete, clear clause in this context. Use a subject such as riding a bike and a complete clause, for example, riding a bike is uncomfortable. The correction also removes repeated speech fillers.
