Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the past tense: “No, I didn’t have a bike.” Use “a bike” and the phrase “dream of owning one.” You could add a brief, specific detail about why you wanted one.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, although I really wanted one. I used to dream of riding around the neighborhood with my friends.

提案: State clearly what you mean by “bikes”—bicycles or motorbikes—and replace “primary source of community” with a natural phrase such as “a convenient means of transport.” Use “they” consistently and explain one specific reason they are popular. Avoid “etc.”

例: Yes, motorbikes are very popular in India because they’re an affordable and convenient way to get around. Many families use them for daily journeys, especially in busy cities where they can be easier to park than cars.

× No I don't have bike when I was a kid, but I have dream for one bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a kid, but I had a dream of owning one.

The question asks about the past, so use past-tense verbs: didn't have and had. Keep the verbs consistent with when I was a kid.

× No I don't have bike when I was a kid, but I have dream for one bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a kid, but I had a dream of owning one.

Bike and dream are singular countable nouns, so each needs an article. Use a before both nouns.

× Yes, bikes are popular in India as they are easy and primary source of community. They are cost-efficient and many families travel by this and they are fuel efficient, etc.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in India because they are easy to use and a primary means of transportation. They are cost-efficient, and many families travel by them; they are also fuel-efficient.

The singular countable noun phrase primary means of transportation needs the article a. Also, easy to use makes the intended meaning clear and forms a grammatical description of bikes.

× Yes, bikes are popular in India as they are easy and primary source of community. They are cost-efficient and many families travel by this and they are fuel efficient, etc.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in India because they are easy to use and a primary means of transportation. They are cost-efficient, and many families travel by them; they are also fuel-efficient.

This refers to a singular object, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use them after by to match bikes.
