Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is unclear and contains a pronunciation/word choice error (“bed school” instead of “primary school” or “elementary school”). Give a direct topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two short supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences. Be specific about whether you owned a bike or used one, and give a brief reason or memory.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it as a birthday present when I was eight, and I used to ride it to a park near my house every afternoon. Because my parents encouraged outdoor play, I became quite confident riding on quiet streets.

提案: The answer is confusing and vague. Start with a clear opinion (yes/no/partly), then support it with specific reasons and linking words (e.g., however, nowadays, because). Mention who uses bikes (commuters, children) or trends (rise of cars, cycling lanes) to show concrete awareness.

例: I think bikes were more popular in the past, but they are less common now. For example, many people prefer cars for convenience, and there are fewer children riding bikes in cities. However, cycling is becoming more popular again among commuters in some areas because of new bike lanes and environmental concerns.

× When I was in bed school.

✓ When I was in primary school.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and likely contains a wrong or mistyped word 'bed'. This is a sentence structure and word choice problem: it does not correctly answer the question about having a bike as a child. Replacing 'bed school' with 'primary school' (or 'elementary school' depending on dialect) produces a clear, grammatically correct time reference that matches the past context of the question. Suggestion: use a clear time/place phrase (e.g. 'When I was in primary school' or 'When I was a child') and ensure individual words are accurate.

× Before I was good, but now I guess it is not popular at all.

✓ Bikes used to be popular, but now I guess they are not popular at all.

The original sentence mixes unclear time expression 'Before I was good' which is ungrammatical and semantically incorrect for the intended meaning, and uses singular 'it' to refer to 'bikes' (plural). The corrected sentence uses the past habitual expression 'used to be' to indicate popularity in the past and 'they are' to agree with the plural noun 'bikes'. Suggestion: use 'used to' for past habitual states and make sure pronouns agree in number with their nouns (they/them for plural).
