Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Grammar and naturalness: correct the verb tense and make the sentence more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail if needed. For example, use past simple: "I didn't have a bike when I was a child." You can add a short reason or memory with a linking word (e.g., "because"). Keep it within 1–3 sentences and avoid filler words like "uh."

例: I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in the city and we used public transport. However, I remember riding my friend’s bike sometimes on weekends.

提案: Make the answer more specific and avoid vague phrases like "and so on." Begin with a clear opinion, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Use varied vocabulary such as "common," "commute," or "widely used." Keep it concise and natural.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them to commute short distances. For example, students and factory workers often ride bicycles to work or school since they are cheap and convenient.

× Uh, no. Honestly speaking when I was a child, I never have a bike.

✓ Uh, no. Honestly speaking, when I was a child, I never had a bike.

The sentence refers to a past time ('when I was a child'), so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Have' is present tense; the correct past tense form is 'had'. Use commas to set off the introductory phrase 'Honestly speaking'. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time reference (past) and use commas for clarity.

× Well, in my opinion bikes are very popular in my country. People usually travel by their bikes and so on.

✓ Well, in my opinion, bikes are very popular in my country. People usually travel by bike and so on.

The first sentence is acceptable but needs a comma after the introductory phrase 'in my opinion'. The second sentence uses the plural possessive 'their bikes' which is unnecessary and awkward when speaking generally; English commonly uses the phrase 'travel by bike' to indicate the mode of transport. Also 'so on' is vague in spoken answers; consider giving a specific example. Suggestion: add the comma, use 'by bike' for general statements, and replace 'so on' with a concrete continuation or omit it.
