Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is natural, personal and mostly coherent, but it slightly exceeds the ideal length and ends abruptly with an incomplete phrase. To improve: 1) Keep answers within 3–5 sentences and finish each thought cleanly. 2) Use one linking phrase to connect ideas (for example, “because” or “which made me feel…”). 3) Replace vague phrases like “one of those small things that made” with a specific finish (e.g., “made my childhood memorable”). Focus on clear sentence endings and a precise concluding idea.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven and rode it every day after school with my friends, which made me feel very independent. Because I spent so much time cycling around the neighborhood, it became one of my favorite childhood memories and helped me gain confidence.

提案: This response is well-structured, relevant and concise with good supporting examples. To improve further: 1) Fix minor grammar (“Bike used to be” → “Bikes used to be”). 2) Add a linking word for contrast to strengthen coherence (e.g., “however” or “nevertheless”). 3) Include a brief specific statistic or concrete local example if possible to increase credibility. Maintain varied vocabulary (commuting, leisure, fitness, infrastructure).

例: I think they're becoming more popular in the Philippines, especially in recent years. Bikes used to be for children or leisure, but now many adults cycle for commuting and fitness; for instance, during the pandemic a large number of people switched to bikes to avoid public transport. However, they remain less common than motorcycles or cars because of safety concerns and limited bike lanes.

× Looking back, it's one of those small things that made.

✓ Looking back, it's one of those small things that made me happy.

The original sentence ends abruptly and lacks an object or complement after 'made', causing a sentence structure error (ID 26). 'Made' is a transitive verb and requires a direct object or a complement (e.g., 'made me happy' or 'made a difference'). Suggestion: complete the clause by adding an appropriate object or complement that fits the intended meaning, e.g., 'made me happy' or 'made a difference'.

× Bike used to be mainly for kids or leisure, but now more adults are using them for commuting and fitness.

✓ Bikes used to be mainly for kids or leisure, but now more adults are using them for commuting and fitness.

The noun 'bike' should be plural 'bikes' when speaking generally about bikes as a category. Using the singular here causes a singular/plural mismatch (ID 1). Suggestion: use the plural form 'bikes' for general statements about the category.
