Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Content and structure are generally good: you answer directly and give supporting details. However, avoid the incorrect word choice (“anesthetic”) and minor grammar. Keep answers concise (max ~4–5 sentences) and use precise vocabulary (e.g., “free and relaxed” or “free and happy”). Also add a linking phrase to connect past habit to feeling (e.g., “and I enjoyed it because…”).

例: I did. My mother bought me a bike as a birthday present when I turned 13, and I rode it to school every day. In the afternoons I also cycled around the park, and I enjoyed it because it made me feel free and relaxed.

提案: Good direct answer with reasons, but watch grammar (singular/plural: “motorbikes”/“means”) and article use. Use linking words to improve coherence (e.g., “because” followed by “for example” or “as a result”). Add a brief specific example or statistic to make the answer more concrete. Keep sentences varied and natural.

例: Yes. Motorbikes are the most popular form of transport in my country because they are cheaper and faster for commuting. For example, many people use motorbikes to weave through congested streets, and as a result they can find parking more easily than with cars.

× My mother bought it as a birthday gift when I turned 13.

✓ My mother bought it as a birthday gift when I turned 13.

This sentence is correct in past tense and needs no change; it uses simple past consistently to describe a completed action in the past.

× I used to ride it to school every day and I love cycling around the park after classes because it made me feel free and anesthetic.

✓ I used to ride it to school every day and I loved cycling around the park after classes because it made me feel free and relaxed.

Mixed tenses and wrong word choice: 'I used to ride' and 'it made me feel' are past-time references, so 'I love cycling' (present) is inconsistent. Change 'I love' to 'I loved' to keep past perspective. Also 'anesthetic' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'relaxed' or 'free of stress'. Use 'relaxed' for correct adjective meaning. Suggestion: keep past tense for memories and choose vocabulary that conveys emotion accurately.

× I think motorbike are the most popular mean of transport in my country because they are cheaper and quicker for commuting.

✓ I think motorbikes are the most popular means of transport in my country because they are cheaper and quicker for commuting.

Noun number agreement errors: 'motorbike' should be plural 'motorbikes' to match 'are'. 'mean' should be plural 'means' when referring to a method of transport. Ensure subject and verb agree and use plural forms when speaking generally about more than one item.

× Street are often congested and parking is limited so many people prefer motorbike for convenience.

✓ Streets are often congested and parking is limited, so many people prefer motorbikes for convenience.

Errors: 'Street' should be plural 'Streets' to talk generally; missing comma before 'so' which links clauses improves clarity. 'motorbike' should be plural 'motorbikes' to match 'many people prefer' and maintain number agreement. Also add a comma to separate clauses. Suggestion: make nouns plural when referring to general situations and punctuate coordinating conjunctions appropriately.
