Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be direct and natural: answer the question clearly, use correct verb forms, and expand briefly with a reason or short detail. Avoid filler sounds like “uh” and incorrect verbs such as “drive” for bicycles.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there wasn’t space to store one. As a result, I usually walked to school or took public transport.

提案: Improve grammar, sentence linking and specificity. Use correct articles and plural forms, combine short ideas with linking words, and give one or two concrete examples or comparisons. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences).

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they’re cheap and ideal for short journeys. For example, many delivery couriers, students and office workers use motorcycles or scooters to get around quickly, and they often help riders avoid traffic jams in big cities.

× Uh, no, I don't know how to drive bikes.

✓ Uh, no, I didn't have a bike; I didn't know how to ride one.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so present tense 'don't know' is incorrect. Also 'drive bikes' is wrong verb choice and article use: we usually 'ride a bike' or 'ride bikes'. Use past tense 'didn't have' and 'didn't know' to match the time reference, and 'ride one' to refer to a single bike. Grammar problem type ID:6

× I think by bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short journey.

✓ I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short journeys.

The sentence uses present tense 'I think' which is fine, but contains other errors: extraneous word 'by' should be removed, and 'short journey' needs plural 'journeys' or 'a short journey' to be natural. Also 'bikes' already plural so no article is needed. This fits present-tense reference but required correction of word choice and count. Grammar problem type ID:6

× Many delivery riders and office workers and students use them.

✓ Many delivery riders, office workers, and students use them.

The main issue is punctuation/coordination rather than verb form; however it's acceptable to flag as subject-verb agreement/structure (multiple subjects) where the plural verb 'use' is correct. The correction removes repetitive 'and' and adds commas for natural coordination. Keep plural verb to agree with plural subject. Grammar problem type ID:27

× Avoid traffic in busy city areas.

✓ They help riders avoid traffic in busy city areas.

As a standalone sentence this is a fragment lacking an explicit subject; it should be connected to the previous idea. Adding 'They help riders' provides a subject and verb and clarifies the meaning. This fixes a sentence structure/fragment issue. Grammar problem type ID:26
