Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details using linking words. Correct small grammar issues (use 'a bicycle' or 'bicycles') and avoid repeating 'during my childhood'.

例: No, I didn't have a bicycle as a child. Instead, I usually travelled by bus or shared a neighbour's bike to get to school, so I became comfortable with public transport from an early age.

提案: Make the response more natural and specific: use plural nouns and give a brief reason with an example or contrast. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' to add clarity.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are much cheaper and easier to maintain. For example, many students and market vendors use bikes for short trips instead of driving a car.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I used to travel with bicycle or by bus for my transport during my childhood.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I used to travel by bicycle or by bus for my transport during my childhood.

The phrase 'travel with bicycle' is incorrect because English uses the preposition 'by' with modes of transport (by car, by bus, by bicycle). This is a preposition+vehicle collocation, which fits the Verb + -ing form category only insofar as the verb 'travel' collocates with 'by'. Replace 'with bicycle' with 'by bicycle' to use the correct preposition for means of transport. Suggestion: use 'travel by bicycle' whenever describing the means of transport.

× Yes, it is popular in my country because it's cheaper than the other transport vehicles such as car, van and boat.

✓ Yes, they are popular in my country because they're cheaper than other types of transport such as cars, vans, and boats.

The original uses singular 'it is popular' to refer to 'bikes', which is plural, causing a subject-verb disagreement and incorrect reference. Also 'the other transport vehicles such as car, van and boat' mixes plural and singular forms. Correct by using plural pronoun and verbs: 'they are' and plural nouns 'cars, vans, and boats'. Additionally, drop the definite article 'the' before 'other' in this context or rephrase as 'other types of transport'. Suggestion: ensure number agreement between subject and verb and pluralize listed vehicles when referring to them generally. Grammar problem type ID: 2
