Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is natural and relevant, gives a clear topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, reduce filler words ("uh"), avoid repetition, and organize details more concisely using linking words (for example: "and", "so", "because"). Also vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., use "teach" past tense consistently and replace one instance of "really"), and keep within 3–4 sentences for clarity.

例: Yes, I did. I used to ride my bike every summer with friends and siblings, and I even taught some of them how to balance. Because I enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and nearby parks, I hope to ride again this summer to feel that same sense of freedom.

提案: The answer does not address the question — it repeats a previous personal story instead of answering whether bikes are popular in your country. To improve, start with a clear topic sentence stating your view about popularity, then support it with specific reasons or examples (for instance: statistics, common uses, infrastructure, or cultural habits). Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid repeating unrelated content.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people use them for short commutes and exercise because cities have bike lanes and public awareness about health and the environment is growing. For example, in my city you often see commuters and students cycling to work or school, especially during warm months.

× Yes I did. I used to ride my bike every summer with my friends and my siblings, uh, and I even taught some of them how to balance. I really hope to ride again this summer because I really enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and feeling free outdoors and even uh, in the parks with my family.

✓ Yes I did. I used to ride my bike every summer with my friends and my siblings, and I even taught some of them how to balance. I really hope to ride again this summer because I really enjoy exploring the neighborhood and feeling free outdoors and in the parks with my family.

The sentence mixes past and present meanings inconsistently: 'I really enjoyed' is past tense but the speaker is expressing a current desire to ride again this summer, so present simple 'I really enjoy' is more appropriate to describe a general feeling that motivates the future plan. Also some filler words 'uh' were removed for clarity and an extra comma before 'and' was simplified. Suggestion: keep tense consistent with the speaker's current feeling when referring to ongoing preferences or general truths (use present simple) and use past forms only for completed past events.

× Yes I did. I used to ride my bike every summer with my friends and my siblings, uh, and I even taught some of them how to balance. I really hope to ride again this summer because I really enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and feeling free outdoors and even uh, in the parks with my family.

✓ Yes I did. I used to ride my bike every summer with my friends and my siblings, and I even taught some of them how to balance. I really hope to ride again this summer because I really enjoy exploring the neighborhood and feeling free outdoors and in the parks with my family.

The original contains redundant repetition and disfluent phrasing ('and even uh, in the parks with my family') that make the sentence awkward. Cleaning fillers and removing unnecessary repetition improves clarity and flow. Suggestion: remove filler words (uh) and redundant phrases, and place modifiers close to the words they modify for clearer sentence structure.
