Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Respond directly in past tense and give a brief clear structure: topic sentence + one supporting detail. Correct grammar (use past tense and correct verb forms), avoid contradictions ("don't have" vs past). Keep within 1–3 sentences. Add a linking word when giving the reason or brief context.

例: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. I only learned to ride when I was 18 because I needed it for work at that time.

提案: Use present tense for general statements and improve grammar and word choice. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Be concise and avoid awkward phrasing like "cities who lead terrain"—use "hilly terrain" or "narrow, crowded streets."

例: I don't think bicycles are very popular in Hong Kong because the city is hilly and streets are often crowded. For example, most people prefer convenient public transport or taxis, while bicycles are mainly used by delivery workers.

× No, I don't have a bike and I learn how to ride when I was 18.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike and I learned how to ride when I was 18.

The response refers to past facts, so present tense 'don't have' and present 'learn' are incorrect. Use past simple 'didn't have' and 'learned' to match the time frame 'when I was 18'. Also use auxiliary 'did' with base verb for negative past: 'didn't have' rather than 'don't have'. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense for past events: 'I didn't have a bike and I learned how to ride when I was 18.'

× No, I didn't think bicycles are really popular in Hong Kong except among delivery workers.

✓ No, I don't think bicycles are really popular in Hong Kong except among delivery workers.

The speaker intends a current opinion about bicycle popularity, so present tense 'don't think' is required. Using past 'didn't think' conflicts with the present clause 'are really popular'. Keep tense consistent: 'I don't think... are'. Suggestion: Use present simple for general opinions: 'I don't think bicycles are really popular in Hong Kong.'

× The cities who lead terrain and crowded streets make cycling inconvenience for most people, so many prefer public transport or taxis.

✓ The cities with hilly terrain and crowded streets make cycling inconvenient for most people, so many prefer public transport or taxis.

Several problems: 'who' is for people, not cities (use 'with' to link noun phrases), 'lead terrain' is incorrect collocation — use 'hilly terrain' or 'steep terrain', and 'inconvenience' is a noun; the adjective 'inconvenient' is required. Also 'make cycling inconvenient' correctly describes the effect. Suggestion: Use correct preposition 'with' and adjective forms: 'The cities with hilly terrain and crowded streets make cycling inconvenient for most people.'
