Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, clarity and naturalness. Use correct tense (past simple) for childhood, correct verbs (ride, kept me fit), and avoid redundancy. Keep answer concise (max 4–5 sentences). Add a brief specific detail (where you rode, a memory) and link ideas with a simple connector.

例: Yes. I had a bike when I was a child and I rode it almost every weekend. Riding kept me fit and helped me explore my neighborhood, especially the park near my house. My favorite brand was Ranger because their bikes were sturdy and comfortable.

提案: Make sentences more natural and grammatical: use passive/active correctly and natural collocations ("not very popular"). Give one specific reason with a linking word and add a short prediction or comparison to enrich content. Keep it concise and coherent.

例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because we have extensive public transportation. For example, many people choose buses and skytrains for convenience and speed. However, I think cycling might become more common if cities build safer bike lanes.

× I used to drive bike on weekends.

✓ I used to ride a bike on weekends.

The verb 'drive' is incorrect for bicycles; the correct verb is 'ride'. Also 'bike' needs the article 'a'. Use 'ride a bike' to describe habitual past activities. Suggestion: Learn common collocations (ride a bike, drive a car) and include articles with singular countable nouns.

× It helps me to stay felt and healthy.

✓ It helps me stay fit and healthy.

The phrase 'stay felt' is ungrammatical; the intended adjective is 'fit'. Also after 'helps me' the verb 'stay' should be base form without 'to'. Suggestion: Use 'helps me stay' + adjective. Replace incorrect words with appropriate adjectives (fit, healthy).

× My favorite company of bike is Ranger.

✓ My favorite brand of bike is Ranger.

'Company of bike' is incorrect word order and collocation. Use 'brand of bike' or 'bike company' and include 'is'. 'Brand' better expresses a maker name. Also 'bike' as noun needs the structure 'brand of bike'. Suggestion: Use common collocations: 'brand of bike', 'bike company', or 'bike brand'.

× Yes, I have had a bike from childhood.

✓ Yes, I have had a bike since childhood.

When indicating a period from a past point to now, use 'since' not 'from'. 'Have had' is acceptable if you still have it; if you mean in the past only, use 'I had a bike in my childhood.' Suggestion: Use 'since' with a starting point (since childhood) for present perfect, or use simple past for finished past.

× I think that bikes have not much popular in my country due to having large public transportation.

✓ I think that bikes are not very popular in my country because we have extensive public transportation.

'Have not much popular' is incorrect structure. Use 'are not very popular' to describe popularity. Also 'due to having large public transportation' is awkward; use 'because we have extensive public transportation' or 'because of extensive public transportation.' Suggestion: Use 'be + not + very + adjective' for negative degrees (not very popular) and preferred connectors 'because' or 'because of' with clear subjects.

× People prefer to travel on buses and sky trains.

✓ People prefer to travel by bus and by skytrain.

Use 'by' with modes of transport ('by bus'). Use singular or uncountable forms for modes generally ('by bus' not 'on buses' in this general statement). 'Skytrain' is usually one word and often treated like 'train' when speaking of the system. Suggestion: Use 'by' + transport mode for general statements: 'by bus', 'by train', 'by bicycle'.

× So bikes are less popular in my country.

✓ So bikes are less popular in my country.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable but repeats the previous idea; keep it if you want emphasis. No correction needed. Suggestion: Optionally combine with previous sentence for concision: 'Because we have extensive public transportation, bikes are less popular in my country.'
