Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 質問には直接答えられていますが、「I were child」は文法的に誤りです。「I was a child」と言いましょう。また、理由や子どもの頃の移動手段を一つ加えると、回答がより具体的になります。

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents usually drove me to school, so I didn’t really need one.

提案: 自転車が人気かどうかは答えていますが、「the bike is so popular」や「everybody knows there」は不自然です。「bikes are very popular」などと表現し、人気の理由や具体例を説明しましょう。「manufacturer」は複数のメーカーを指す場合、複数形の「manufacturers」にします。言いよどみを減らし、接続表現で理由につなげると、より明確です。

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They’re an affordable and convenient way to get around, and several well-known brands are made here.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I were child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The subject I takes was, not were, in the past tense. Use was with I, he, she, or it; use were with you, we, or they.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I were child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I were a child.

Child is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before child when referring to a child in general.

× I think in my country the bike is so popular, uh, everybody knows there, there are some very famous, uh, manufacturer of the bike.

✓ I think in my country the bike is so popular; everybody knows there are some very famous manufacturers of the bike.

Some refers to more than one manufacturer, so the countable noun must be plural: manufacturers. Remove the filler and repeated there to make the sentence easier to follow.
