Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then add one clear supporting detail. Correct the grammar: say “taught me how to ride a bike,” not “taught me to how to use a bicycle.” Use the past tense consistently (“I still find it”) and avoid repeating the same idea in “memorable memories.”

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father taught me how to ride it and keep my balance. I still remember learning to ride because it was one of my happiest childhood experiences.

提案: Give a direct answer and explain why bikes became popular. Use “popular” without “a,” add “the” before “pandemic,” and use the past tense to describe that period. Replace “limited by that time” with a more natural phrase such as “was restricted during that period.”

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially during the pandemic. Public transport was restricted at that time, so many people used bicycles to get around. They were also a convenient way to exercise outdoors.

× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and my father taught me to how to use a bicycle and to do some balancing and I find yet one of my most memorable memories when I was a kid.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and my father taught me how to use a bicycle and how to balance. I still consider it one of my most memorable childhood memories.

Use taught me how to do something, without placing to before how. Also, consider it one of my most memorable memories is a clearer grammatical structure than find yet one of my most memorable memories. Use how to balance instead of to do some balancing for a natural parallel structure.

× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and my father taught me to how to use a bicycle and to do some balancing and I find yet one of my most memorable memories when I was a kid.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and my father taught me how to use a bicycle and how to balance. I still consider it one of my most memorable childhood memories.

Yet is not the appropriate adverb in this context. To express that the memory remains important, use still before the main verb: I still consider it one of my most memorable childhood memories.

× Well, in our country bikes are a popular especially during pandemic because traveling by public transportation is limited by that time.

✓ Well, in our country bikes are popular, especially during the pandemic, because traveling by public transportation was limited at that time.

Do not use a before popular because popular is an adjective and no noun follows it. Use the before pandemic when referring to the specific pandemic period.

× Well, in our country bikes are a popular especially during pandemic because traveling by public transportation is limited by that time.

✓ Well, in our country bikes are popular, especially during the pandemic, because traveling by public transportation was limited at that time.

The phrase during the pandemic and at that time refers to a past period, so use the past-tense verb was rather than the present-tense verb is.

× Well, in our country bikes are a popular especially during pandemic because traveling by public transportation is limited by that time.

✓ Well, in our country bikes are popular, especially during the pandemic, because traveling by public transportation was limited at that time.

Use at that time to refer to a situation occurring during a specific period. By that time usually means before or no later than a particular point.
