Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a slightly longer, more natural response with one or two specific details (e.g., what kind of bike, who you rode with, or a short memory). Use a topic sentence and one supporting detail joined with a linking word.

例: Yes, I did — I had a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was about six. I used to ride it around the park near my house, and my father often taught me tricks and safety skills while we practiced.

提案: Make the answer clearer and more fluent: start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., because, for example). Avoid fillers and unclear phrases like "in central."

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many teenagers ride bikes in the summer for exercise and socializing, and in city centers cycling is common because it is cheap and helps avoid traffic.

× Yes, of course. I think bikes are popular in my country because, uh, now teenagers usually ride a bike in the summer and in central.

✓ Yes, of course. I think bikes are popular in my country because now teenagers usually ride bikes in the summer and in the city center.

The original sentence has two issues that match the 'Present tense issue' type and related number usage: 1) 'a bike' after 'teenagers usually ride' is better expressed as the plural 'bikes' to agree with the plural subject 'teenagers' and to sound natural in general statements. 2) 'in central' is incorrect preposition/noun usage; the intended meaning is likely 'in the city center' or 'in central areas.' Use 'the city center' for clarity. Suggestions: use plural nouns when making general statements about multiple people (teenagers ride bikes), and replace unclear phrases like 'in central' with a complete noun phrase such as 'in the city center.'
