Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and avoid contradicting yourself: say “I didn’t have a bike.” Use past tense consistently (“walked” and “travelled”), and add one specific detail to explain how you got around. Try to avoid fillers such as “uh.”

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. I usually walked or took the bus to get to school and visit nearby places.

提案: Give a clear opening answer, then explain why bikes are popular or where people use them. The rest of your response is difficult to understand and stops mid-sentence, so use shorter, complete sentences and avoid restarting your thoughts. Include one specific example, such as how many bikes a family might own or how bikes affect traffic.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in busy cities. Many people use them for short trips because they are affordable and easy to park. Some families even own more than one bike, although large numbers of cyclists can sometimes make the roads crowded.

× When I was a child, uh, my family couldn't afford it, so I usually walk or travel by bus.

✓ When I was a child, my family couldn't afford a bike, so I usually walked or traveled by bus.

The sentence describes a past period, so the verbs walk and travel should be in the past tense: walked and traveled. Keep the tense consistent when describing repeated habits in the past.

× Yes, they are very much popular in my country.

✓ Yes, they are very popular in my country.

Very much does not normally modify the adjective popular. Use very before an adjective to indicate degree, as in very popular.

× And usually they make they used to block the roads often.

✓ People often use bikes, and they can block the roads.

The original clause repeats subjects and verbs in a way that prevents it from forming a clear sentence. Use a clear subject and verb in each clause, and avoid repeating often and usually because they express the same idea here.

× So the what's it like people are having um a lot of bikes here.

✓ People have a lot of bikes here.

Have describes possession and is normally used in the present simple, not the present continuous. Say people have bikes rather than people are having bikes.
