Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood: use “didn’t have” and “couldn’t afford.” Your response is direct and gives a reason, but you could add one specific detail, such as how you got around instead.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. I usually walked to school or went with my parents by car.

提案: Give a clear, natural opening, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular.” Avoid fillers like “uh,” and correct the grammar: say “the best vehicle” or “a popular way to commute,” “many people,” and “everyone travels.” Add a specific reason or example to support your opinion.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in busy cities. They’re an affordable and convenient way for people to commute to work. Many people also use them for short trips because they’re easier to park than cars.

× No, I don't have a bike because we can't afford it.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike because we couldn't afford one.

The question asks about the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Change don't have to didn't have and can't afford to couldn't afford. Use one to refer to a bike without repeating the noun.

× Yes, I think uh, bikes are uh, best uh, vehicle to travel for a job.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are the best vehicles for traveling to work.

A superlative adjective such as best is normally preceded by the definite article the. Include the before best.

× Yes, I think uh, bikes are uh, best uh, vehicle to travel for a job.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are the best vehicles for traveling to work.

The plural subject bikes should be matched with the plural noun vehicles in this general statement. Use vehicles rather than the singular vehicle.

× Workers and every peoples in my country like uh, everyone travel by uh, bike or car.

✓ Workers and people in my country like to travel by bike or car.

Every must be followed by a singular count noun, such as person. In this sentence, people is a more natural plural choice, and it does not take every before it.

× Workers and every peoples in my country like uh, everyone travel by uh, bike or car.

✓ Workers and people in my country like to travel by bike or car.

The phrase like everyone travel does not form a grammatical structure. After like, use an infinitive with to or a gerund: like to travel or like traveling. The revised sentence also removes the redundant everyone.
