Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is direct and correct but very short and repetitive. To improve, give a clear topic sentence then add one or two brief supporting details (where you rode it, who you rode with, how often, or a short memory). Use a linking word to connect ideas and avoid repeating words (e.g., don’t repeat 'bike' unnecessarily). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I did — I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight years old. I used to ride it to school and around the neighborhood with my friends, which was how I learned to be confident on the road. Overall, it was a very important part of my childhood.

提案: Your response addresses the question but has unclear phrasing and some grammatical errors. Improve by stating your main idea first, then provide specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, 'because', 'however', 'recently'). Avoid vague expressions like 'known bikes' and correct grammar (e.g., 'for only for'). Be concise and try to include one clear example or trend.

例: Not really — bicycles are much less popular than cars in my country because most people prefer the comfort and speed of cars. However, cycling is becoming more common for delivery services and some young people use bikes for short trips in the city. Lately, a few cities have also introduced bike-share schemes to encourage cycling.

× Known bikes are not very popular compared to cars.

✓ Bicycles are not very popular compared to cars.

The sentence uses 'Known bikes' which is ungrammatical and unclear. Use a proper noun phrase 'Bicycles' or 'Motorbikes' depending on meaning. Replace the incorrect pronoun-like word with the correct noun to make the sentence clear and grammatical. Also 'bikes' is acceptable but 'bicycles' is more natural here.

× Bikes are very rare.

✓ Bikes are quite rare.

The original sentence is grammatically correct but sounds abrupt. Replacing 'very' with 'quite' makes the statement more natural in this context. No change in tense or agreement is needed; this is a stylistic improvement to fit conversational tone.

× Recently they started to give bikes for only for delivery boys.

✓ Recently they have started giving bikes only to delivery boys.

Problems: incorrect word order 'for only for', wrong use of 'to give ... for' and tense choice. Use present perfect 'have started' to indicate a recent change with present relevance, use the gerund 'giving' after 'started', place 'only' before the indirect object, and use the correct preposition 'to delivery boys'. These changes correct verb form, word order and preposition use ensuring grammaticality and natural English.
